Reimbursement for Dental Treatment in the EU

Do you live or work in Germany and would like to receive dental treatment in your home country? With HKP Online, you can automatically generate the Heil- und Kostenplan (HKP) required by your Krankenkasse (German statutory health insurance fund), regardless of which EU Member State your treatment is carried out in.

We do not provide dental treatment ourselves. Instead, we help patients insured with German Krankenkasse obtain reimbursement for dental treatment received anywhere within the European Union.

As a person insured with a German Krankenkasse, you are generally entitled to receive outpatient treatment in another EU Member State.
However, dental prosthetic treatment is subject to special rules. Prior approval from your German health insurance fund is always required before treatment begins.

Many dentists outside Germany are highly qualified but are unfamiliar with the German requirements for preparing a Heil- und Kostenplan (HKP). This is exactly where HKP Online helps. Our system automatically generates an HKP that complies with the requirements of German Krankenkasse. The process is straightforward:

1. The patient visits the dentist of their choice in another EU Member State. The dentist examines the patient, recommends the appropriate prosthetic treatment and prepares a cost estimate.
2. Before treatment begins, a Heil- und Kostenplan (HKP) complying with Krankenkasse requirements must be prepared. Our AI-powered HKP Online Generator can do this automatically.
3. The patient submits the HKP to their German Krankenkasse fund for approval.
4. After receiving written approval, the patient undergoes treatment at the selected dental practice and pays the treatment costs directly.
5. Once the treatment has been completed, the patient submits the dentist’s invoice to the German Krankenkasse and receives the approved reimbursement.
