About ARNI
An information desk for Heil- und Hilfsmittel billing.
ARNI stands for Abrechnungsstelle Niedersachsen für Heil- und Hilfsmittel GmbH — a billing office focused on medical aids and therapeutic remedies in Lower Saxony. This page explains who we are and what this website is for.
Our focus
Billing and factoring, explained plainly.
Heil- und Hilfsmittel providers — physiotherapy practices, orthopaedic technicians, medical supply stores, and similar businesses — deal with a specific and often confusing corner of German healthcare billing. ARNI was formed to give these providers a clear, regional point of reference for how billing and factoring arrangements with statutory and private insurers typically work.
We are based in Hannover, Lower Saxony, and our content is oriented toward the regional and federal rules that apply to this sector.
