Submission of invoices

Submission via the barcode function with the button "Scan barcode":
Simply scan the two barcodes "eA-Code" and "eP-Code" that you find on your invoice.

Usually the two barcodes are in the footer of the invoice. It might be that there is only one barcode in the footer and the other barcode to the right of the invoice recipient's address. These are generally the two largest barcodes on the invoice. Often there are two additional (smaller) codes included, which are used for postal road control or franking.

If you have scanned the first barcode, the app automatically recognizes which of the two codes (eA or eP) it is and asks you to also scan the second barcode of the invoice. It is important that you always scan both barcodes of the same invoice and do not mix the "eA-Code" of invoice 1 and the "eP-Code" of invoice 2 by mistake. You can scan up to 50 receipts before sending them to us together. Invoices that are sent together are also answered in one benefit accounting. If we have successfully received the invoice data, you will receive a corresponding feedback within the app.

Submission via the photo function with the button "Photo":
The simple photo function allows you to transfer all invoices (also without barcode) as well as prescriptions, referrals and medical prescriptions securely to the HALLESCHE.

When photographing, place the documents on as dark as possible background and use the "Photo" button. To ensure that everything is legible, you can adjust the image section by dragging the corners.

If you have multi-page documents, please photograph the front side first and then the back side or the next page of the document. Once you have photographed all pages of a document, select the "Finish" option. If you have further documents, you can now photograph the next document by clicking "New Document". Please take photos of smaller documents one by one and use the possibility to send us several documents with one submission. First take pictures of all the documents and only at the end click on the "paper plane" symbol in the upper right corner to submit the invoices.

When you are finished with all documents, you can transfer them encrypted and securely to the HALLESCHE with one click. Again, you will receive a corresponding feedback within the app when we have received the documents.

You can submit all receipts for reimbursement of medical expenses. For example, invoices, prescriptions and cost estimates.

With the barcode function of hallesche4u you can submit all doctor's invoices on which the two barcodes "eA" and "eP" are printed. This is the case, for example, with many invoices of the Private Medical Clearing House (PVS).

With the photo function, you also have the option of submitting all receipts - even without barcodes - directly to the HALLESCHE via the app.

The "eA-Code" contains the personal data contained on the invoice in encrypted form: Invoice recipient, address, treated patient with date of birth, if applicable, relationship information such as "your son".

The "eP Code" contains the key with which the personal data contained in the "eA Code" is encrypted as well as non-personal invoice data. It also contains an invoice ID which is used to retrieve the data.

You can submit up to 50 receipts with up to 50 pages per receipt collectively. Just click on "New receipt" before you send your invoice with the "arrow" symbol in the upper right corner. This allows you to add more receipts. If you want to add documents with more than one page, you will be given an appropriate hint during the photographing process.

If there are any problems with the transmission or the subsequent retrieval of the invoice data, the app will inform you accordingly. You can then either resubmit the documents using the barcode or photo function. Or you can send the documents by mail to the HALLESCHE. In any case, please contact our customer support so that we can correct the error as soon as possible.

Don't worry, your collected receipts will not be lost. Receipts that you have not yet submitted are highlighted in light blue in "My invoices" and marked with the date of creation. These can be changed or sent by clicking on "Edit now".

The invoices are checked and then receive a "double submission note". In order to keep the administrative effort low, we ask you to personally mark the invoices submitted with the app for you and not to submit them additionally by mail.

However, we recommend that you file the original invoice at home.

Yes, you can also submit receipts for persons who are co-insured in your contract about your access to hallesche4u.

You will receive a notification when your receipts have been successfully submitted. Further information is currently not available. However, we are working on integrating this function into hallesche4u as soon as possible.

Your invoice will be processed as usual in our services department and you will receive a payment notification afterwards. However, a function to send the payment notification electronically via hallesche4u is already being considered.

You can use the "Contact" function to send us inquiries about contracts, benefits and app functions directly in hallesche4u. Furthermore, we are already in the process of implementing a function that allows you to retrieve relevant documents/correspondence via the app.

No. When submitting via hallesche4u this procedure is not necessary.

No, an export function is not provided in the current version of hallesche4u.

You can load invoices with up to 50 pages into the app.

Since hallesche4u uses a different form of data management than the HALLESCHE invoice app, unfortunately the receipts can not be transferred.

Currently we can only offer you the possibility to change your address data via the app. However, we are in the process of integrating additional self-services such as changing or entering account data.

In the meantime, you can simply send us your account data together with the invoice to be reimbursed using the photo function. If you have already sent your invoice, you can also send us the account data via the contact form by selecting the category "Questions about the contract".

Currently there are unfortunately problems with the camera control of various Android devices (especially Huawei). We are currently in the process of fixing the bug and providing you with the solution in one of the next updates.

For a prompt reimbursement, you are welcome to send the documents by mail to the HALLESCHE or by e-mail to service@hallesche.de

Symptom checkers are approved medical products which are essentially designed to assist you in the initial medical assessment of your personal situation. Following the structured symptom query, you will not only receive an analysis of your personal symptom, but also information about the potential findings and suggestions for further action, e.g. through the integrated doctor search of the Health Foundation. Symptom checkers should never replace medical advice or a professional diagnosis.

HALLESCHE provides the symptom checker in cooperation with DOCYET GmbH. DOCYET has established its own editorial team of medical professionals, e.g. nurses and doctors, who generate and continuously update the content of the information on symptoms and illnesses. The symptom check is based on the functionality of Infermedica, which is certified in accordance with the highest industrial standards.

No data is transferred to HALLESCHE. As part of the symptom check, DOCYET works with Infermedica, the Health Foundation and Deutsche Telekom AG. No data is transferred to analytics services, e.g. Google Analytics or social platforms, e.g. Facebook. You can view the full privacy policy of our partner DOCYET here.

Our partner DOCYET works together with the Robert Koch Institute and the BZgA here and updates the information in the application daily.

The software is an approved medical device, but cannot replace medical advice or diagnosis. The offer is primarily intended to support you in the initial assessment of your personal situation.

Current health topics, valuable tips and information, health lexicon, health tests, comprehensive service offers and much more can be found in the health portal of the HALLESCHE.
