'Der Versicherte' (the insured person) is a nominalized participle of the verb 'versichern' (to insure). The form therefore refers to a person who is insured; that is why the word is capitalized as a noun.
Der Versicherte hat den Vertrag sorgfältig gelesen.
The insured person has read the contract carefully.
Common collocations are 'gesetzlich Versicherte' (people with statutory health insurance), 'privat Versicherte' (people with private health insurance), and 'freiwillig Versicherte' (people with voluntary insurance). The adverb or adjective before it indicates the type of insurance.
Als gesetzlich Versicherter zahlt er jeden Monat Beiträge an die Krankenkasse.
As someone with statutory health insurance, he pays contributions to the health insurance fund every month.
'Der Versicherte' (the insured person) is particularly typical in letters, forms, and conversations involving insurance companies, health insurance funds, and government authorities. In such texts, the word refers to the insured person as a party to an insurance contract.
Der Versicherte muss das Formular innerhalb von zwei Wochen zurücksenden.
The insured person must return the form within two weeks.
