What are the main differences between public and private health insurance?

Public health insurance:

• Everyone can take out public insurance.
• Your contribution depends on your salary: the more you earn, the more you have to pay.
• Premiums can reach up to € 1,050.53 a month which you share with your employer. As a self-employed person, you must cover the full costs yourself.
• Coverage is quite limited and benefits can be cancelled at any time.

Private health insurance:

• Employees with a salary above the annual income threshold of € 69,300, self-employed persons, civil servants and students are eligible for private insurance.
• Your monthly premium does not depend on your salary.
• Premiums depend on your health status, the desired scope of benefits and your age of entry: the earlier you decide to switch to ottonova’s private health insurance, the lower your monthly premiums will be.
• Coverage is much more extensive and benefits are guaranteed for the entire duration of your contract.

Information about private health insurance with ottonova

We help you find the best option for your personal needs – start with getting a consultation with our English-speaking experts now!

How does the guaranteed no-claim bonus at ottonova work?

Every insured person in the First Class Pro+ and Business Class Pro plans is entitled to a guaranteed no-claim bonus. The insurance coverage must have existed without interruption for the entire calendar year.

The amount of the guaranteed no-claim bonus is calculated as follows: The sum of the premiums paid (excluding the statutory surcharge) for the previous calendar year, divided by 12.

Precondition for the no-claim bonus: no claims must have been submitted in the previous calendar year. Of course, we want to support you in staying healthy and important preventive check-ups should not be neglected. That's why you can still take advantage of the following benefits and receive the no-claim bonus at the same time:

• Professional dental cleanings according to GoÄ
• Benefits for preventive check-ups according to statutory programmes
• Vaccinations (except travel vaccinations)

The premium refund will be paid out in the second half of the following year.

If you have any questions about whether an invoice affects the no-claim bonus, the ottonova concierge will be happy to help you.

What do I need to know about paying premiums during parental leave?

There is no obligation to pay premiums during the first 9 months when you receive parental allowance (German: “Elterngeld") with the First Class Pro+ plan. The following conditions must be met for the exemption from premium payment:

• The insured person has had uninterrupted insurance coverage for at least 8 months prior to the childbirth
• The notification of parental allowance is submitted no later than 6 months after the date of issue
• All previous premiums have been paid on time

What is the deductible in private health insurance?

In private health insurance, the deductible is the out-of-pocket amount you pay towards the costs. This means that the deductible is deducted from the reimbursement amount of the invoice. The deductible is often also referred to as the excess.

Our Business Class Pro and First Class Pro+ plans have no deductible.
