The web version of Hallesche4u is structured in the same way as the Hallesche4u app and thus includes all the already familiar functions, with the exception of the photo function when submitting invoices. Due to differences in the formats, the two applications differ in part only in the arrangement of the content.

Hallesche4u is available to all insured persons of the Hallesche health Insurance for free. Excluded are contracts of short-term health insurance for trips abroad. All you need is an internet capable smartphone or tablet. With our new web version of Hallesche4u you can also use the functions via your computer or laptop.

Currently the app is only available for Android and iOS. A deployment for Windows is not planned at the moment. Hallesche4u can still be used as a web version in the browser at any time.

For iOS devices, iOS 13 or higher must be installed. For Android devices, you need Android version 8 or higher. You can open and use the web version on any internet-enabled device via any internet browser. However, we recommend using the latest version of common browsers such as Google Chrome or Safari.

You can submit your receipts in the "Invoices" tab. To do so, use the button " Record receipt now" in the middle area of the screen. You will now be directed to our receipt wizard. In the first step, select the contract and the insured person for whom you want to submit a receipt. You can also add further notes to the receipt in the text field under "Add Note". The data will not be transmitted to Hallesche, but will help you to find receipts more easily afterwards.

In the second step, you can add attachments to your receipt. To do this, click on the "plus" symbol and choose whether you want to upload the receipts as a photo from the gallery or as a PDF document, or take a photo of the receipts directly in the app using the photo function. The latter is not possible in the web version.

Once you have added your attachments, you can check your receipt again in the third and final step. If everything is correct, you can complete the receipt submission. The receipt can now either be saved as a draft or submitted directly to Hallesche.

Hallesche4u provides you with supporting information at each step of the receipt submission process. You can hide these sequences after viewing them for the first time.

You can collect up to 50 document pages in one receipt. One receipt can thus include several invoices. The only important thing is that the invoices are assigned to the same contract and the same insured person.

You can then either resubmit the documents or you can send the documents by mail to the Hallesche. In any case, please contact our customer support so that we can correct the error as soon as possible.

Don't worry, your collected receipts will not be lost. Receipts that you have not yet submitted can be found in the "Invoices" tab under "Drafts".

Symptom checkers are approved medical products which are essentially designed to assist you in the initial medical assessment of your personal situation. Following the structured symptom query, you will not only receive an analysis of your personal symptom, but also information about the potential findings and suggestions for further action, e.g. through the integrated doctor search of the Health Foundation. Symptom checkers should never replace medical advice or a professional diagnosis.

Hallesche provides the symptom checker in cooperation with DOCYET GmbH. The Symptomchecker is an approved medical device according to MPG. DOCYET has established its own editorial team of medical professionals, e.g. nurses and doctors, who generate and continuously update the content of the information on symptoms and illnesses. The symptom check is based on the functionality of Infermedica, which is certified in accordance with the highest industrial standards.

No data is transferred to Hallesche. As part of the symptom check, DOCYET works with Infermedica, the Health Foundation and Deutsche Telekom AG. No data is transferred to analytics services, e.g. Google Analytics or social platforms, e.g. Facebook. You can view the full privacy policy of our partner DOCYET here.

Current health topics, valuable tips and information, health lexicon, health tests, comprehensive service offers and much more can be found in the health portal of the Hallesche. Here you will receive professionally founded and quality-assured information on all aspects of health. You can also stay up to date with our regular newsletter.
