The back payment time differs big time. They are falling behind their schedule. I believe they are working with capable but small amount of people which makes prolonged waiting time for service.

I am very unhappy with Ottonova. I have doctors invoices since October 2025, and I still haven’t received the reimbursement of my appointments and exams. The customer services team always reply to wit... See more

This review is only about the customer service over call, not to be confused with the overall product or service. On that note i would like to appreciate how nice all the customer service agents... See more

Impressed with the turn around time

Been a customer since 2022 but only really used them this year (2025). I had to replace a broken crown and the process from uploading the invoice to receive payment has taken roughly one week (altough the AI chat said it would take three to four weeks).

Great expierience and value since 2020

I‘m a Ottonova customer since 2020. The company is setting new standards in customer service with its super friendly, competent and fast interaction via chat and phone. I love that they remind me on my personalized preventive medical check up’s and even book them for me if I want! The app is super easy to use, super fast refunding and like a health companion- always something valuable to read about how to improve your health. In their healthX Programm you not only can shape future offerings of the company but they onboarding continually new partners with apps which add daily health value you can use with bigger discounts and even get an additional bonus from Ottonova. I’m very satisfied with my decision and looking forward for new services and offerings. The older private insurance companies really can learn something from this innovative and super customer oriented young team.

Very fast and efficient execution. Very controversial to how government entities operate in Germany..

Thanks to Ms. Yasemin at Ottonova, who was patient with me and always there when needed.

Overall a good experience

Overall a good experience. However, I'd like to enphasize their poor to no support when it comes to getting the Amazon voucher they claim to give you one month after your contract is valid. When I asked for this, they told me that unless I have the code I joined Ottonova with, the Amazon voucher cannot be given. Poor support also as they don't follow up on this.

Easy to handle with German health…

Easy to handle with German health system
Thanks to Ottonova, I never feel unsafe here in Germany. Whenever I have a question, I always get the answer quickly and clearly. I have never had to struggle to explain my situation in German because everyone in ottonova knows English and everyone of them are really helpful. I love the way that I can easily submit my documents and get my refunds quickly. Therefore, I have never feel short (moneywise) to pay my invoices.

Insurance? Not here

When I joined Ottonova, I really thought they would support me if I needed help. But when I sent a claim for new treatment, with a new plan and a clear start date, they said no — because they think it’s part of some old treatment. Seriously? That’s like saying if you ate soup once, now every meal is soup.
I also had to wait almost three months just to get this answer. Three months with no update, and in the end, they just sent a rejection with confusing reasons that ignore the simple truth: the treatment started after I got the insurance.

Ottonova is quick to take your money, but when it’s time to help you — they will find every excuse not to. If you want an insurance company that’s fair and actually does what it promises, this isn’t the one.

Hello Andrii,

thank you for taking the time to share your experience – we’re genuinely sorry to hear how disappointed you feel. That’s not the kind of support we want for our insured members.

Every case is different and sometimes medical histories are complex. Please know that our claim assessments follow legal and medical guidelines, but we can understand that this situation is frustrating for you.

We’d love the chance to review your case again and make sure everything was handled correctly and transparently. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team directly: support@ottonova.de - so we can take another look.

Kind regards

Best private insurance in Germany

Best private insurance in Germany! They never send you letters, only contacts via the portal/app (the way I like). The concierge service answers quickly to requests. Refunds are also quick and transparent. Everything in English!
