DAK No additional contributions for willing to change?

Did the DAK try to keep members? Changeable should allegedly the additional contributions are issued.

According to media reports, the DAK allegedly wanted to keep members who wanted to turn their backs on the health insurance company. According to reports, the willingness to change the additional contribution of eight euros a month should be issued. However, this claim is not correct.

What is correct is rather: There was only in the first days of February an unregulated, regionally limited process in which a DAK employee had violated the instructions of the DAK. He had offered 35 customers an "immediate bonus" in the event of withdrawal of the termination. The DAK stopped this unlawful behavior immediately. All tariffs and bonus programs of the DAK are all approved by the BVA.

The DAK admits that they are currently affected by dismissals of their members, but does not give exact numbers. On the basis of this attempt by an employee, however, it becomes clear how things currently stand with the DAK. Only the complete abolition of the lump-sum additional contributions could probably stop people willing to change. (sb, 05.04.2010)
