Overview

Hallesche is part of the ALH Group (together with Alte Leipziger) and is based in Stuttgart. While not the largest insurer, Hallesche has carved out a strong niche especially among freelancers and self-employed professionals. Their tariffs are designed with the self-employed in mind, offering flexibility and competitive pricing for those who don't have an employer contributing to their premiums. Hallesche is also known for competitive family rates, making it popular with self-employed parents.

Tariffs & Pricing

Hallesche's NK tariff line is specifically designed for self-employed customers who pay the full premium without employer contribution. Deductible options range from €0 to €1,200+, allowing freelancers to balance monthly outflow against out-of-pocket risk. For families, Hallesche's children's tariffs are competitively priced. Employees can also benefit from Hallesche's standard tariffs, though the insurer's main competitive edge is in the self-employed segment.

Starting premium: ~€280/month (estimated for a healthy 30-year-old professional, 2026 rates)

Claims Process

Claims processing is reliable, with most outpatient claims handled within 7-10 business days. Hallesche offers an app for digital claims submission, though it's less polished than those of larger competitors. Direct hospital billing is available with partner clinics.

For Expats

Hallesche has limited international visibility and English-language services. However, many freelancer-focused insurance brokers in Germany work with Hallesche and can guide expat freelancers through the process in English. If you're a self-employed expat, Hallesche should be on your shortlist for comparison.

Hallesche is best suited for freelancers and self-employed professionals. With premiums starting from ~€280/month and a rating of 4.3/5, it holds position #8 in our 2026 rankings. As with any private health insurance decision, the right choice depends on your individual health profile, age, income, and coverage priorities.
