DKV hospitalisation insurance
An estimated 2 million people in Belgium have health insurance with DKV. Hospitalisation insurance is the core product of the DKV offer and the majority of the insured have such a cover, through their employer or individually.
Why take out DKV hospitalisation insurance?
Supplemental hospitalisation insurance is useful because mandatory health insurance only covers a portion of the medical bills. With DKV hospitalisation insurance, you have additional protection in the event of a hospital stay. Serious illnesses are also covered by DKV formulas.
Offer for private individuals
Hospitalisation insurance is DKV's main product for individuals. DKV offers various plans within its DKV Hospi range, such as Hospi Essential, Hospi Comfort and Hospi Premium+.
These insurance plans cover medical expenses during hospitalisation, such as supplementary fees, room and medical equipment costs. Costs before and after hospitalisation, such as examinations and aftercare, are also reimbursed. In addition, certain plans cover outpatient costs related to serious illnesses and offer additional support, such as home help after a serious illness.
The insurance often offers very comprehensive coverage, sometimes even without a financial limit, and costs are settled directly with the hospital through Medi-Card. This hospitalisation insurance protects individuals against high medical costs and gives them access to quality care without major financial worries.
Offer for companies
DKV also offers hospitalisation insurance for companies in the form of group insurance. Employers can use this to protect their employees against hospitalisation costs. Offering this insurance is considered an important fringe benefit. Various plans are available, tailored to the size and needs of the company.
Other optional insurances from DKV
In addition to hospitalisation insurance, DKV also offers other supplementary insurance policies:
- Daily outpatient insurance which reimburses medical costs outside the hospital, such as consultations, medicines and glasses.
- Smile Dental insurances, with reimbursements for dental care, prostheses, implants and orthodontics.
- Combinations that cover hospitalisation and outpatient care together.
