Do you have supplementary accident insurance through your employer and are thinking of cancelling your hospita private accident supplement?

It’s often smarter – in addition to the employer’s supplementary accident insurance – to continue with your own private accident supplement. hospita private accident is affordable and at the same time offers many advantages, such as better medical care, more comfort and personal privacy. The accident supplement is thus a sensible investment in your own health which should not be dismissed lightly.

Whether hospita private accident is worthwhile for you depends on the scope of your employer’s supplementary accident insurance, as well as your needs and your budget. We would be happy to advise you personally. Request a consultation >
