Why Private Health Insurance is Particularly Worthwhile for Doctors

  • Independent of the social security system --> Only pay for what I use 
  • Special rates just for doctors --> Better plans at lower costs
  • Members of professional pension schemes are exposed to the risk of high statutory health insurance premiums in old age
  • Premium refunds for claim-free periods
  • Full control over healthcare

typische Fehler

Many doctors waste money every month – common mistakes

No comparison = too expensive

Many doctors blindly accept a provider's offer – and as a result, pay significantly more month after month without getting more in return.

Unsuitable doctor clauses

Some policies exclude important benefits for doctors or limit coverage for profession-specific risks – which can be costly in a serious situation.

Health check too late

Waiting too long risks rejections or risk surcharges. However, there are often earlier windows for simplified health checks – if you know about them.

No guaranteed insurability

Without guaranteed options to increase coverage, doctors remain underinsured as their needs grow – for example, when establishing a practice, expanding their family, or during stays abroad.

Premium trap, instead of premium benefits

Some plans seem affordable – until benefits are suddenly cut or massive deductibles are incurred in the event of a claim. We take a close look.

Affordable starter plan with exploding costs

What starts as a "young doctors" plan can later become disproportionately expensive – without you realizing it in time.

Introductory rate with no long-term predictability

Low payments today, but major changes and adjustments tomorrow. We help you stay predictable in the long run.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Hast Du Fragen? Hier findest Du Antworten auf die häufigsten Fragen zu unseren Dienstleistungen und Angeboten.
How can I, as a physician, switch to private health insurance?
As an employed physician, a switch is possible as soon as your gross annual income exceeds the compulsory insurance threshold (2025: €73,800). Self-employed physicians, such as practice owners, can switch to private health insurance at any time, regardless of their income.
How are private health insurance contributions treated for tax purposes?
Private health insurance contributions are deductible as precautionary expenses. This can lead to significant tax relief, especially for practice owners or high-earning doctors.
What happens during parental leave or part-time work?
Many modern private health insurance plans offer flexible adjustment options. During parental leave, contributions can be reduced or suspended entirely for a defined period. Even with reduced working hours, coverage can be adjusted – without sacrificing essential benefits.
Is private health insurance worthwhile for resident physicians?
This depends on individual life and career planning. For many resident physicians, private health insurance is worthwhile early on – thanks to favorable entry rates, premium refunds for claim-free periods, and more stable premiums in old age. Specialized doctor tariffs often offer additional benefits, such as better coverage and flexible customization options.
What happens if I am declined due to health reasons?
Before the official application, we conduct anonymous preliminary inquiries with several providers. This allows us to discreetly determine whether an insurer offers suitable terms – without an official rejection being documented. This way, we protect your options.
