What about travel insurances such as Mawista or Cigna?

If Germany is your home country for at least the next couple of years, travel insurances are not a viable option for obtaining a visa in Germany as they are not compliant with §257 SGB V, §61(6) SGB XI. Unlike ottonova, these insurances also don't contribute to the required long-term nursing care insurance (Pflegepflichtversicherung). Check out our Expat Guide for details or read about one of our customer's experience here.

Daily Sickness Allowance Block
Daily Sickness Allowance

Compensate your salary when you're sick

If you're self-employed, you know the issue: Once you're sick, your salary drops to zero. To some extent, this also applies if you're employed: After six weeks, your employer will stop paying you. In this case, our daily sickness allowance kicks in and ottonova compensates your salary - so you can fully focus on getting healthy again.

Health insurance designed for expats like you.

Meet ottonova, the new digital health insurance, built to make your life easier. Manage your health in a single app, with 24/7 English customer support, so you can focus on the important things in life.

High-Five

Your English-speaking support team.

Our friendly teammates will help you navigate the German insurance system, arrange your appointments with doctors who speak your language, and answer all of your insurance and health-related questions.

Getting your visa? Piece of cake!

Still missing a form for your visa? Don’t worry, we know that this process can be a nightmare. Just contact us if you have any issue and together, we will find a solution.

Short-term visa? No problem.

Some insurances require long term visas before you can sign up with them. Not ottonova. We not only accept customers with short-term visas, but also if you want to extend it.

Future bound. Legally sound.

Health insurance from ottonova meets all legal requirements for your visa according to § 257 SGB V. One less obstacle to overcome.

Listen to those who know.

FAQ

How can I sign up?

To help you with our online sign-up process, we'll set up an appointment to chat on the phone. We can answer any questions you might have, and guide you through the steps, one at a time.

What happens if I leave?

You're free to go! No wiggling out of a tricky contract, no matter which tariff you choose. If you leave Germany sooner, simply contact us and attach your deregistration form from the German Immigration Office - an Abmeldungsbescheinigung. We'll close your contract and wish you the best of luck on your journey. Promise!

Which tariff should I choose?

We have different full-insurance options at ottonova. All tariffs are solid and built to last. If you plan on staying in Germany for longer than five years, you can choose between Premium Economy Class, Business Class and First Class.

If you are here on a limited permit and plan to stay in Germany less than five years – or simply not sure how long you'll be here - we also offer a special Expat tariff, which provides premium coverage to keep you healthy and happy throughout your stay in Germany. For a full overview of the services offered in our Expat tariff, click here.  

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

Why is the Expat tariff cheaper?

Normally, private insurance plans help you to save for your future - you'll pay more now, so that your premiums don't rise later. But if you're only planning on staying in Germany for a short time - less than 60 months - then there's no need to set this extra money aside.

Get a Consultation to get started!

Why is the Expat tariff only available for non-EU expats?

The laws in Germany only allow residents with a limited residency permit to sign up for expat plans. Unfortunately, this means we can only offer this special tariff to expats who are here on a permit, and not those who can live in Germany without any type of visa.

How often do premiums increase?

As a regulated health insurance, we cannot just increase premiums any time we want. Premiums can increase when actual health costs in general differ more than 5% from what we calculated. This can only happen due to inflation and rising medical costs. 

However, this will never happen for single individuals but rather for all insured people at the same time. Specifically, we cannot increase your premiums because you get sick or because you get older. We also cannot terminate your contract for those reasons. We guarantee you coverage for a lifetime when you sign up. 


Get a consultation now!

Can I sign up from abroad?

You can start your sign-up process from abroad. As soon as you arrive in Germany, we will organize a general check-up with an English-speaking nurse for you. When we receive the results, we will be able to finalize your policy.

Get a Consultation now!

Does ottonova help with my visa application?

Definitely! ottonova is a fully licensed German health insurance and fulfills all regulatory requirements, unlike other providers such as Mawista, Cigna or Allianz Worldwide Care.

 We are regulated in § 257 SGB V, which is necessary for your visa applications. This also includes the Expat tariff.

How can I cancel my current insurance?

We can help you write your cancellation letter for your current insurer and send it to you by email. Piece of cake! Just contact our team!

Can I have top-up insurance with ottonova?

If you’re insured in the public system, we can also offer you one of our top-up insurances. We can offer Dental Top-Up and Hospital Top-Up tariffs. You can give us a call and we will help you find the best option for you!
