For legal reasons, it is currently not possible to switch to European health insurance for customers of private or statutory health insurance. According to German law, the EU-KV has no longer been recognized as legitimate health insurance insurance since 2016, but this is necessary to terminate the existing contract. According to §193 VVG, the EUKV meet the EEA insurers, including Morgan Price and ALC only partially the compulsory insurance in Germany. Risk reserves in old age and the prescribed contributions to long -term care insurance are not included, here separate contracts must be concluded and reserves must be formed. Due to this currently applicable regulation, it is not recognized as subsequent insurance.
Therefore, we can currently only convey uninsured customers to the EU KV who, due to non-collected criminal contributions, as well as negative Schufa information is a very good alternative to statutory or private health insurance. In the event of illness, European health insurance ensures it against financial risks. For decades, the EEA service providers have been offering millions of customers worldwide at a similar level as German PKV’s.
As customers of a private health insurance or GKV, do you still want to optimize your tariff and find the tariff that suits your situation? Are you thinking about returning to the GKV or would you like to switch to PKV? We are happy to provide you with all questions, advise you and show you the possible potential of a comparison or a change. As soon as German legislation changes its view to the EuKV, we as an insured person will be happy to inform you again about the possibility of switching to the EUKV and support you in doing so.
