About this app

The "VGH Health" app offers our customers many options. You can submit invoices and certain contract documents, receive benefit statements and always have your documents with you. In addition, those who are fully insured for medical expenses and benefits can use the app to access our health partner TeleClinic (online visit to the doctor*).

What can the "VGH Health" app do?

Submissions
- Very simply invoices, prescriptions or contract documents such as e.g. B. Submit notifications about changes to the contract (we generally require the originals of foreign invoices to be sent by post).
- This is how it works: Photograph the receipt or insert a PDF and send it off

health record
- Access to your health data and that of your family at any time
- Vaccination cards, medicines, medication plans, doctor's letters and X-rays - everything immediately to hand
- Reminder function for medication intake and vaccination appointments

Doctor visit online*
- Carry out a simple doctor's visit online 7 days a week, 365 days a year, which, according to generally recognized professional standards, does not require personal medical contact
- You can speak with a doctor via video call directly or at the time you want
- Receive prescriptions via the app and redeem them directly at a partner pharmacy or have them delivered

*A service of the TeleClinic. The doctor treating you via TeleClinic decides whether - depending on the illness - a digital visit to the doctor is medically justifiable or a personal medical contact and, if necessary, a further on-site diagnosis is necessary. The VGH Provincial Health Insurance Hannover AG reimburses the costs for the online doctor's visit to the tariff extent for all those who are insured for medical expenses and benefits.
