Ottonova
Germany's newest and purely digital health insurance
About Ottonova
Ottonova is a digital health insurance startup based in Germany. It offers a unique approach to health insurance, focusing on affordability and transparency. The company serves a broad range of clients, including employees, self-employed individuals, and those eligible for government assistance. It also provides supplementary insurance for those who want or need to remain publicly insured.
Ottonova operates in the health insurance market, which is traditionally dominated by larger, established companies. However, it differentiates itself through its use of modern technology and improved processes, which reduce administrative costs and allow for continuous development and innovation.
The company's business model revolves around offering health insurance policies that are designed for maximum premium stability. This means that the premiums (the amount you pay for your insurance) are designed to remain affordable even as you age. On average, 50% of your premiums are set aside for your old age, which is more than any other health insurance company.
Ottonova makes money by collecting these premiums from its customers. It also offers an additional module for premium relief, which allows customers to lower their premiums in old age by paying a little more now. This is a unique feature in the market.
In comparison to statutory health insurance, Ottonova offers a more personalized, transparent, and objective service. It supports its customers in making informed decisions by providing them with all the necessary information.
