EGK - Basic insurance
Compulsory health care insurance is the basic health insurance whose benefits are regulated by law. With the standard model (choice of doctor), you first consult your family doctor, general practitioner or specialist in the event of illness. In addition, the health insurance companies offer two alternative models with which premiums can be saved.
- The EGK-Care model is the so-called managed care family doctor model. If you are sick, first consult your doctor. Your doctor will decide what to do next.
- In the EGK-TelCare model, you first contact Medgate's telemedical consultation center in the event of illness to receive an individual treatment plan.
Voluntary supplementary insurance
At EGK-SUN rates, health insurers offer comprehensive supplementary insurance for conventional and natural medicine. All four benefit levels apply to both outpatients and inpatients.
Benefit Level 3 hospital insurance covers confinement in general wards. In benefit level 2, you are semi-personally detained, in benefit level 1, you are personally detained. With supplementary hospital insurance benefit level 4, you have the flexibility to choose the comfort level you want before each admission. In all benefit levels, you have free choice of doctor and hospital. In addition, the health insurance covers contributions to preventive health care, spa stays, visual aids and many other benefits.
