BKK EWE customer testimonials
"I can rely on my health insurance, even if the road gets bumpy."
As a rule, insured persons over the age of 18 pay a co-payment of 10% of the costs, minimum €5.00, maximum €10.00. Children and adolescents (up to the age of 18) are exempt from co-payments.
To ensure that you are not excessively burdened, the co-payments are limited to a reasonable personal contribution. The individual burden limit is generally 2% of the annual gross income of all dependents living in the household for living expenses in a calendar year. For chronically ill persons who are undergoing permanent treatment for the same serious illness, the burden limit is 1% of the annual gross income for living expenses. If you exceed this burden limit, you are welcome to submit an application to us for partial reimbursement of the co-payments.
