Statutory health insurance providers in Germany are facing serious financial challenges, leading to significant hikes in contribution rates, with TK raising rates from 1.2% to 2.45%.
The German Health Ministry suggests an average additional contribution rate of 2.5%, marking an increase of 0.8 percentage points, which many insurers have exceeded.
82 out of 93 statutory health insurance organisations are raising contributions due to escalating costs in the healthcare, hospital, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Typically, public health insurance in Germany costs about 14.6% of gross salaries, with additional rates contributing to higher overall expenses for insured individuals.
