Other contract clinics - with supplementary insurance

Sympany is continually extending the range of contract clinics in Germany. In doing so, we pay particular attention to clinics that have a specialism (e.g. lymphology at the Földiklinik in Hinterzarten) or which stand out in their field of activity through excellent performance, such as the cardiac centre in Bad Krozingen.

Whilst the costs of treatment will be taken on by the KVG basic insurance scheme within the framework of the pilot project, for a stay in the other contract clinics, in addition to the basic insurance you will also need the corresponding supplementary insurance from Sympany.

The benefits

  • No franchise charge
  • Single rooms, even for those with general insurance cover
