What HALLESCHE does

HALLESCHE (legal name: Hallesche Krankenversicherung auf Gegenseitigkeit) is a German mutual private health insurer (PKV) founded in 1934 and headquartered in Stuttgart, operating as a member of the ALH Gruppe financial services conglomerate. The company underwrites full private health insurance for individuals (employees, self-employed, civil servants, medical professionals, students, and international clients) and a growing book of corporate health insurance (Betriebliche Krankenversicherung) under the FEELfree family of products. Its portfolio also includes supplementary lines — dental (Zahnzusatz, including the Stiftung Warentest 'Sehr gut' rated GIGA.Dent), hospital (Krankenhauszusatz), nursing care (Pflegezusatz, including OLGAflex and FÖRDERbar), daily sickness allowance (Krankentagegeld), and foreign travel health insurance (Auslandsreisekrankenversicherung). A specialized 'Medizinerkonzept' serves doctors and dentists.

The company operates a digital platform spanning the fin4u customer portal, the Hallesche4u mobile app, online product calculators, and integrations with German digital health infrastructure including electronic prescriptions (E-Rezept), electronic patient records (ePA), digital therapeutics (DiGA), and physician video consultations (Videosprechstunde). Technology governance is handled via Usercentrics consent management, Tealium IQ tag management, and on-premise German-hosted analytics.

As a Versicherungsverein auf Gegenseitigkeit, Hallesche is owned by its policyholders rather than external shareholders, with surpluses retained for member benefit. Revenue is generated through recurring monthly and annual insurance premiums, priced individually based on age, health status, and chosen tariff. Distribution combines direct website sales, an in-house call center (0711 6603-6603), the ALH Gruppe advisory network, a dedicated business customer sales division, and a multi-channel paid acquisition stack across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Outbrain, Seedtag, and FinanceAds affiliates.
