DKV Luxembourg can offer you a comprehensive range of private health insurance plans, from travel health insurance via supplementary insurance and loss of earnings insurance for self-employed persons through to a comprehensive health insurance.

A private comprehensive health insurance will provide you with high-quality insurance coverage. Its all-round protection offers all the advantages enjoyed by private patients at the doctor, dentist or hospital – regardless of the payments from statutory health insurance and throughout Europe.

In Luxembourg, the entire working population is compulsorily insured by statutory health insurance. The statutory insurance payments nearly always require contributions from the patient’s own funds, be it for a visit to the doctor, a dental prosthesis or aids such as glasses, for example. A supplementary insurance from DKV Luxembourg can help you bridge this gap. This applies to all persons who are statutorily insured in Luxembourg as well as officials of the European Union.

If you need to stay in hospital as an inpatient, you should not be required to make any sacrifices. But this is often linked with extra costs. A hospital per diem insurance will help you cover these by providing you with the agreed daily allowance for every day of your inpatient treatment.

Self-employed persons or freelancers can also fall ill all of a sudden and be unable to work. This will normally lead to a loss of income. A loss of earnings insurance from DKV Luxembourg S.A. can help you make up for this.

The risk of illness knows no borders. Travel health insurance provides optimal healthcare coverage when travelling to other countries or to Luxembourg from abroad.

As the largest provider of private health insurance in Luxembourg, we can offer you flexible solutions that are perfectly tailored to the specific needs of the respective company, its employees, and any specific wishes you may have.

The premiums depend on the insurance policy concerned and the age at which it was taken out. We will gladly draw up an offer for you.

If you would like a personal consultation or to be provided with an offer, please call us at: +352/42 64 64-1 or send us your contact form.

With our insurance policies for medical expenses, you will be covered throughout Europe, i.e. also including countries that are not members of the EU (e.g. Switzerland). Insurance cover is also provided for the first month of a temporary stay in non-European countries without the need for specific agreements. If you are planning a longer stay outside the EU, please get in touch – we can also offer you solutions for this.

Waiting periods are designed to prevent that the community of the insured is burdened with expenditures immediately after a policy is taken out. A distinction is made between general and specific waiting periods. The general waiting periods amount to three months from the commencement of the policy, but do not apply for treatments required because of an accident. The specific waiting periods for childbirth, psychotherapy, dental treatment, dentures and orthodontics amount to eight months from the commencement of the policy. The general waiting periods can be waived under certain circumstances (e.g. upon presentation of a doctor’s certificate or based on a previous insurance).

With our comprehensive insurance policies for medical expenses you can select a deductible per calendar year. This means that you need to pay your own bills up to an agreed deductible amount (currently 800 euros for adults), while we will cover any amounts over and beyond this as agreed in the policy. The deductible serves to reduce the premium payable for the selected insurance policy.

Hospital stays are usually disconcerting and can be associated with a great financial burden. To avoid this, you should inform DKV Luxembourg SA as soon as possible in case of an inpatient treatment so that the cost coverage can be sorted out. If you are planning a hospital stay, we would recommend that you always contact us before the start of the treatment. Many hospitals in the greater region settle their accommodation costs directly with us, so that no advance outlays will be required from you.

Send your documents to:

DKV Luxembourg S.A.
B.P. 845
L–2018 Luxembourg

or simply by way of the yourDKV customer portal. Please always indicate your insurance number in a clearly visible manner. To help us process your documents, please do not staple them or use paper clips. Please note the following that we can process your claim immediately: In the case of full insurance, we require the originals of the invoices. In case of supplementary insurance, proof of reimbursement is sufficient for us if advance payment has been made my the CNS. EXCEPTION: For all dental treatment and treatment received abroad, we require a copy of the invoice in addition to the CNS proof of reimbursement. In the case of advance payment by all other statutory health insurance schemes (also from abroad), we require a copy of the invoice and proof of reimbursement from the statutory health insurance scheme. Please submit the originals of invoices that are not reimbursed by the statutory health insurance.

Dental treatments are general dental, prophylactic, conservative and surgical treatments provided by a dentist, but also include treatments for disorders of the oral mucosa and parodontium (periodontal apparatus). Another example for dental treatments are plastic fillings, e.g. acrylic fillings. Dental prostheses include crowns, bridges, dentures and implants.

Before the start of the treatment, ask your dentist to provide you with an itemized cost estimate (treatment and cost schedule). This gives you an overview of the expected costs of the treatment. This cost estimate first needs to be sent to the statutory health insurance. We also recommend this if you hold a comprehensive insurance policy for medical expenses because it might reduce your deductible. You will next need to send us the cost estimate as approved by the statutory health insurer, whereupon we will promptly notify you about the cost coverage by DKV.

Your inability to work needs to be reported to DKV immediately, but no later than three days after the agreed commencement of payments. In this case DKV will send you the required documents. Payment of the daily sickness allowance can commence as soon as we have been provided with all the documents.

The claim to insurance payments lapses 3 years from the first day of treatment specified in the invoice concerned.

Coverage begins with the date specified in the policy (insurance commencement), but not before the conclusion of the insurance contract – i.e. not before the insurance policy has been signed by both contracting parties – and not before the expiry of waiting periods. Insured events occurring before the commencement of the insurance cover will not be covered. Insured events occurring after the insurance contract has been entered into are only excluded from the obligatory cover to the extent in which they occur in the period before the insurance commences or in waiting periods.

An insurance for medical expenses is initially taken out for a period of two years. The first insurance year commences on the date specified in the insurance policy and ends on December 31 of that year. The following insurance years coincide with the calendar years. Insurance contracts can be terminated from the end of the insurance year (i.e. on December 31 of any year, but not before the end of the second year of insurance) with a notice period of 30 days. The notice has to be received by DKV Luxembourg by December 1 of the respective year at the latest.
