Our hospital plans: tailor-made for TK members

In Germany, public health insurance is regulated by the legislator. That means Techniker Krankenkasse as a public health insurer, or health insurance fund, can only cover you for medical procedures and services which are part of the legal framework. When staying in hospital, however, you may wish to receive services that go beyond that standard: perhaps you would like a more comfortable room or wish to be treated by a particular doctor. In that case, you would have to cover the extra cost out of your own pocket, just like a private patient.

Our supplemental hospital plans make sure you do not need to worry about extra expenses any longer. As a private patient you can choose your doctor, consultant or specialist and can stay in a private room.

Good to have on top: KHT-Plus hospital cash benefit to complement our hospital plans

Protection against unexpected expenses

When there is an accident, every second matters. To find out what injuries you have suffered, the doctor may need to cut away your clothes or shoes. Replacing garments or other things that have been damaged can easily cost you a couple of hundred euros – expenses that are not covered by any insurance.

A daily hospital cash benefit can help you cover these unexpected expenses: Our plan pays you a fixed cash benefit for each day you have to stay in hospital. It is up to you to decide what you would like to spend the money on.

Stay flexible: You can determine the amount you would like to receive - up to a maximum of 60 euros per day. You will be paid the amount agreed for the whole time you are in hospital.

KHT-Plus key benefits

  • daily hospital cash benefit
  • not limited to a fixed number of days
  • you can determine the amount you would like to be paid
  • up to 60 euros a day

Good to know: we do not reimburse you for actual expenses, for example the amount you paid for a new pair of shoes. What we pay is a hospital cash benefit which you are free to use any way you like.
