Why a purely emotional decision is dangerous
Many people switch to private health insurance based on simplified arguments such as:
- "Better doctors"
- "Shorter waiting times"
- "Lower premiums"
While these aspects can play a role, the decision should primarily be based on a structured financial and legal comparison.
What we calculate during the consultation
Maximum statutory insurance cost
We calculate your maximum possible GKV contribution, including:
- Health insurance
- Nursing care insurance
- Future contribution increases
This defines the benchmark for comparison.
Private insurance premium scenarios
Next, we analyze how different private tariffs compare to your statutory contribution.
Typical scenarios include:
Entry-Level Tariff
KomfortKlasse — solid coverage at balanced premiums
Balanced Tariff
MedExtra — best value with extended benefits
Premium Tariff
MedBest — maximum private healthcare coverage
Long-term premium dynamics
Private health insurance contributions change over time.
We therefore examine:
- Aging reserves
- Statutory premium surcharges
- Contribution relief components
This provides a realistic long-term cost perspective.
Tax implications
Private health insurance premiums can be tax deductible as special expenses.
Depending on income level, this can significantly reduce the effective contribution.
The result
At the end of this step, you will see a clear side-by-side comparison between:

Only after this comparison do we move on to selecting a specific tariff.
