Who pays your accident cover?

If you are employed by the same employer for at least eight hours a week, you are automatically insured against both occupational and non-occupational accidents through them. That means you can exclude the accident cover from voluntary supplementary insurance if you have equivalent private accident insurance or are well covered by your employer's accident insurance – for example, for a private or semi-private ward instead of the compulsory general ward in the hospital. This reduces the premium for your supplementary insurance by 10%.

Would you like to agree a hospital deductible?

You can save on semi-private and private hospital insurance by agreeing an annual deductible. This means you assume part of the costs and can reduce your premium.
