Where do I make the application?
The application must be submitted to the responsible nursing insurance fund. Although the nursing insurance fund is an independent authority, it is affiliated to the statutory health insurance fund. This means that every statutory health insurance company also has a nursing care insurance company and every member of the statutory health insurance company is automatically a member of the corresponding nursing care insurance company.
The same principle usually applies to private health insurance companies. The application can be made by telephone, informally by letter or by visiting a care center. If a supplementary nursing care insurance has been taken out, this must also be informed.
