How to submit your private health insurance claims

A step-by-step guide to submitting your claims and how Feather supports you throughout.

Written by Cristina Garcia

From August 26, 2026, claims will be submitted directly through the Hallesche app. This means your claim will go straight to Hallesche, giving you faster access to updates and responses.


How Feather supports you

We're right here for:

  • Questions or clarifications about your claims or reimbursements

  • Policy changes: upgrades, downgrades, switching providers

  • Life changes: new job, family changes, leaving Germany

  • Anything you're unsure about


Getting set up on the Hallesche4u app

Download the app:

Register:

Open the app and tap Register. You will need:

  • Your insurance/contract number

  • Full name and date of birth

  • Email address and mobile number

To verify your identity, you have two options:

  • Online via the Nect Wallet app: instant

  • By mail: your access credentials will arrive within a few days

Log in:

Once registered, log in using your EK ID and the activation code or password you received.


Submitting a claim

Once you're in the app:

  1. Go to the claims section

  2. Upload your invoice

  3. Add any relevant details and submit

Your claim will be processed from there. Most claims are processed within 4 weeks. Your bill statement will be sent to your home address by post, or digitally through the app if you've switched to online post.

Quick tip: Once you're set up in the app, switch to online post to receive your letters digitally and keep everything in one place. Correspondence from Hallesche is set to paper mail by default.
