German health insurer TK to significantly hike contribution rate

Now the premium increases are getting serious: Techniker Krankenkasse is doubling its additional premium. What that means in euros and cents and which other health insurance companies are attracting with the premiums.

German health insurer TK to significantly hike contribution rate

Statutory health insurance is forecast to rise across the board next year. Now Germany's largest insurer, Techniker Krankenkasse, has announced how much it plans to raise the additional contributions for its more than 11 million members.

Those with statutory health insurance must expect higher contributions next year. Many health insurance companies are still unclear as to how much they will rise. The TK has now been specific: it wants to increase the additional contribution to 2.45 percent.

The Techniker Krankenkasse is the first to increase its additional contributions for 2025. Other health insurance companies are expected to follow suit. In this case, members have a special right of termination.

Now it is becoming clear how much the health insurance companies will increase their contributions in 2025. The largest health insurance company, Techniker Krankenkasse (TK), is increasing the additional contribution from 1.2 to 2.45 percent.

It was foreseeable that health insurance contributions would rise next year. Now TK has announced how much its additional contribution will actually rise.
