ADVANTAGES OF
PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE (PHI)
FIND OUT IF PHI IS RIGHT FOR YOU
Employees
Salaried employees with an income that lies above the €64,350 compulsory insurance limit (Jahresarbeitsentgeltgrenze) for 2022, are free to opt out of the public insurance system and choose private health insurance. The public health insurance premiums for higher income individuals can reach up to €934 per month. Private insurance can provide greater quality of healthcare while saving you a considerable sum on monthly premiums. Making the change makes sense.
Self-employed
Are you self-employed or a freelancer? Then you get to decide for yourself whether you’d prefer public or private insurance. Private health insurance is especially sensible for those who seek higher quality insurance coverage and are self-employed when they are still young. If you’re slated to pay the highest premiums or want to swim free of demographic shifts, you should consider choosing PHI. You won’t just save money, but also accumulate reserves for old age and even earn sick day allowances. Also, you can flexibly adjust your monthly premiums to suit your budget by raising the excess, for example.
(Future) Civil servants
Over 94% of civil servants choose private health insurance. They do so for good reason: it’s state-subsidised by at least 50%. Special PHI tariffs even cover part of their excess, making private health insurance a very affordable option for those planning a career in civil service.
How does this compare with the option of public health insurance? Most states don’t subsidise public health insurance at all and public servants must pay the full premium. Of course, the more you earn, the higher your premiums get.
