Supplementary insurance for dental services, glasses and alternative health practitioners

When it comes to healthcare, glasses, dental restoration and alternative ways of treatment are important to many people. This private plan combines these features and gives you peace of mind.

Optical products
By optical products we mean glasses or corrective lenses. It's good news to have this covered by a private health plan.
Alternative health practitioners (Heilpraktiker)
We pay alternative health practitioner fees and prescribed medicines according to the fee schedule for alternative health practitioners. Please note: psychotherapy is not covered.

Hospital
In Germany, everyone staying in hospital has to pay a statutory hospital fee of 10 euros per day for a maximum of 28 days. Strictly speaking, hospital expenses are not part of outpatient health plans. In this case, however, we think it is important to include it. And so these expenses are fully covered.

Travel
Healthcare cover for up to six weeks for people travelling abroad. Travel health cover comes with a number of benefits. One key benefit: in a medical emergency Envivas arranges for you to be transported back to Germany if medical repatriation is medically necessary.

Dental restoration - dentures, dental implants, dental crowns and inlays
Both tooth repair and tooth replacement can be very expensive. With our dental plan you can considerably reduce your share of cost. We pay up to 40 per cent of the invoice amount. Together with the Techniker Krankenkasse benefit this means a total reimbursement of up to 80 per cent of the cost of restorative dental work such as dentures, dental crowns, inlays and dental implants.

PraxisTop includes all the benefits provided by PraxisExtra plus extra benefits for dental care and medical check-ups.

Preventive healthcare - Medical check-ups (IGeL)
With this private plan you are covered for medical check-ups and screenings which are part of the so-called IGeL services. IGeL stands for Individuelle Gesundheitsleistungen . These include a number of individual health services that go beyond the benefits that public health funds such as Techniker Krankenkasse are allowed to provide. So if you want to benefit from IGeL services and do not want to pay out of your own pocket, PraxisTop is the right choice for you.

Here are some of the check-up options included:

• improved cancer screenings, for example mammography, sonography and screenings for skin and prostate cancer
• additional check-ups for children and young people
• additional diagnostic tests during pregnancy
• general check-ups, for example stroke risk or special examinations of the brain

Extra dental benefits
With PraxisTop you can drastically reduce the amount you have to pay towards the cost of dental treatment. This plan pays up to 50 per cent of the invoice amount of the cost of dentures, dental crowns, inlays and dental implants. Together with the Techniker Krankenkasse benefit this means a total reimbursement of up to 100 per cent of the cost of dental work.
