BeihilfeBuddy - Beihilfe & PKV

BeihilfeBuddy – your friendly assistant for civil service health benefits and private health insurance (PKV).

Has your civil service health benefits reimbursement arrived yet? Has your PKV already paid? Which bills are still outstanding? What's the benefit rate for each family member? BeihilfeBuddy answers these questions in seconds – no Excel spreadsheets, no filing cabinets, no third-party cloud services.

Developed specifically for civil servants and their families: Record medical bills, submit them to your civil service health benefits and PKV in a structured way, and track every cent until you receive your actual reimbursement. Everything stays locally on your device – encrypted, no account required, no tracking.

WHY BEHILFEBUDDY?

• Scan receipts in seconds

Photograph your bill or import a PDF. The integrated document scanner automatically crops and saves it cleanly.

• For you and your family

Create profiles with individual benefit rates (e.g., 50%, 70%, 80%). Two profiles are included free of charge; with Premium, you can manage any number of family members.


``` • Track your public service health benefits and private health insurance separately

See at a glance: What has been submitted, what has been reimbursed, and what is still outstanding?

• Capture reimbursement notices
Scan notices from your public service health benefits office and private health insurance provider, match items to invoices, and identify discrepancies.

• Reminders & Overview
Get reminders for pending applications. Filter by person, status, and time period. Keep track of premium refunds.

• Better assess premium refunds

If your private health insurance provider is paying a premium refund, BeihilfeBuddy shows the current status. With Premium, you get a clear recommendation: submit now or wait?

• Premium: Tax & PDF Export
Export your out-of-pocket expenses for the tax year and all invoices & notices for easy download as PDFs.

• Premium: Cloud Sync
Use your data on multiple devices when you activate Sync. Synchronization is end-to-end encrypted via your private cloud storage – without a separate BeihilfeBuddy account.
