Your advantages with ottonova

Your health in the best of care.

Public health insurance can be quite limited. With our tariffs, you can close this gap forever. Reimbursement for prescribed medication, alternative practitioners, glasses, dentist invoices and chief physician treatment are just some of the benefits of private insurance that public insurance does not cover.

Your savings potential.

In contrast to public health insurance, your premium with ottonova is calculated independently of your income. This means that you could save up to € 3,100 per year - with a higher scope of benefits at the same time.

Access to doctors and specialists.

If you are sick, quick help is our top priority. As a privately insured person, you avoid long waiting times and having to get referrals from general physicians. Instead, you can go directly to the specialist doctor of your choice.

Digital services in one app.

Zero paperwork guaranteed! We offer English-speaking support via phone and chat that helps you find English-speaking doctors in your area and answers all of your insurance and health-related questions, as well as easy claim and fast reimbursement via our app.
