We take a look at the practical handling of the GKV application.
20 years , I submitted applications for the issue of a medical aid number on paper and had a lively postal exchange with the GKV. That is now over.
Guido Grimm, the undisputed expert in HMV applications, looks back with a smile and a nostalgic tear in his eye to the time when incoming and outgoing mail at BEO BERLIN was filled with correspondence with the GKV Spitzenverband .
Now this application process has finally been digitised. This has eliminated vast amounts of printed paper and postage. Mr Grimm and his colleagues have had the documents in the form of pdf files for a long time. Only for the HMV application process were printers still used in the otherwise paperless working day at BEO BERLIN.
But what else has changed with the digitalisation of the process? Has it become easier or more difficult for applicants?
Login and user administration have been made uncomplicated and should not cause any problems for applicants. Unfortunately, personalised access is provided, which makes working in teams somewhat more complicated. If a registered person is absent, messages or applications may not be received. BEO BERLIN recommends setting up personalised access for everyday use.
Im Übrigen ist das Portal sehr gelungen. Anträge können begonnen, sukzessive bis zur Einreichung bearbeitet und zwischendurch als Entwurf gespeichert werden. Ohne Belege geht es aber nach wie vor nicht. Hier ändert sich nichts, ohne Fachexpertise gibt es die klassischen Stolperstellen. Prüfberichte, Gutachten, Gebrauchsanweisungen etc. gilt es sorgfältig zu erstellen bzw. erstellen zu lassen, sonst wird es auch im digitalen Zeitalter nichts mit der Hilfsmittelnummer.
Mr Grimm sums up:
At BEO BERLIN, we were very pleased with the digitisation step. We work in an even more environmentally friendly way, save a lot of paper, toner and postage and our experience in regulatory requirements is still needed!
