Comparing benefits
All three packages include compulsory basic insurance. They only differ in terms of the scope of the supplementary insurance benefits they offer. Packages 2 and 2+ give you the option to upgrade from a general ward to a semi-private or private ward – with a corresponding contribution towards the costs – if you are admitted to hospital. Package 2+ also offers you supplementary insurance benefits for outpatient treatment.
