BKK EWE customer testimonials
"If things ever go wrong, my health insurance is there for me too!"
The increasing financial difficulties of the statutory health insurance funds have been known to politicians for years. Despite this, the federal government has failed to implement the financial stabilization of the health insurance funds promised in the coalition agreement. On the contrary, the laws passed in recent months have led to a further significant increase in expenditure by the statutory health insurance funds.
BKK EWE has succeeded in keeping the contribution rate constant at a very low and below-average level of 0.9 percent for nine years. That is an exceptionally long time. We therefore regret all the more that the above-mentioned developments have unfortunately left us with no other choice.
At its meeting on December 4, 2024, the Board of Directors of BKK EWE decided to increase the supplementary contribution to 1.98 percent as of January 1, 2025. This step is necessary to ensure that we can continue to guarantee you first-class healthcare services.
Almost all statutory health insurance funds increased their contributions at the turn of the year. For 82 of the 94 health insurance funds, the additional contribution rose by an average of just over one percentage point to an average of 2.91% of contributory income. This figure is therefore significantly higher than the previously calculated figure of 2.5 percent. Experts from the so-called estimation circle had determined this mathematically necessary contribution rate with which the health insurance funds can cover their expenses. However, each health insurance fund can decide for itself whether and how much to raise the additional contribution. The range of increases currently extends from 0.4 to 2.4 percentage points.
Despite the adjustment, we can therefore continue to offer you a below-average additional contribution and remain one of the cheapest health insurance companies in Germany.
You also benefit from our many additional services that go far beyond the statutory standard. For example, from the subsidies for professional dental cleaning and osteopathic treatment.
You can find out more about our additional services in our digital information folder.
It is therefore still worth switching to BKK EWE. Low contribution rate and attractive additional offers. Feel free to recommend us within the EWE Group or take advantage of the spouse's right to choose.
