Since the health insurance companies no longer demand additional contributions due to the billions in surplus, the competitive situation on the cash register market has worsened considerably. With special offers, the public health insurance companies recruit new customers. As the direct health insurance BIG reported directly healthy, from the coming year to all members a premium of 100 € will be paid. „This is the highest premium on the cash market“, said in a recent statement of the cash register. In fact, although other health insurance premiums pay out. These are between 30 and 70 euros.

It does not matter how much the individual customer earns, as the Payment is income independent. Already in September, the Dortmund health insurance company had decided the premium payment. „We have made the premium payment as easy and direct as possible“, emphasizes Peter Kaetsch, CEO of BIG. Above all, those who have long been a member of the BIG should also benefit. „That's why we opted for the early payout date in the middle of the year“.

Thus homeopathy and osteopathy treatments are taken over with up to 400 euros per member of the fund and per year. In addition, professional teeth cleaning at participating dentists, prevention, sports and preventive measures can be submitted to the cashier.
