Techniker Krankenkasse: Insurance card lost - what to do?

You can report the loss of your insurance card to TK either online or by phone. You will then be sent a new card within a few days and the old card will be blocked. To do this, proceed as follows:

• Online: In order to have your card blocked online and to apply for a new card, you must be registered for the online service "Meine TK". You can then apply for a new card here.
• By phone: The TK service is available around the clock and in Germany free of charge on 0800 285 85 85. Have your insurance number ready. If you cannot find the number, you can also identify yourself with your name and date of birth.
