In the health insurance
Transitional care in hospital:
Due to a change in the law, transitional care in hospital was formulated as a new benefit of statutory health insurance. This now makes it possible to officially bill for people who are no longer being treated as in-patients but cannot yet be discharged because their subsequent care is not guaranteed. Our policyholders should not be worse off than those with statutory health insurance. For this reason, we now ensure that we pay for transitional care in hospital in tariffs with benefits for general hospital services in the same way as statutory health insurance.
Follow-up treatment:
We clarify that follow-up treatment can generally be included in the insurance cover if the tariff provides for this.
List of remedies:
Most comprehensive insurance tariffs have maximum amounts for remedies. We adjust these maximum amounts to the increased price level. We also supplement and update individual items in the list of remedies. In this way, we maintain the value of the high-quality insurance cover.
In the daily benefits insurance
Reintegration: We clarify that measures for occupational reintegration can generally be included in the insurance cover if the tariff provides for this.
In the compulsory nursing care insurance
As a further consequence of the last amendment to the law, the benefit amounts were increased. In addition, the list of nursing care/aids for private compulsory nursing care insurance has been adjusted. These changes are being made uniformly across the branch.
