There are two Health insurance types in Germany: Statutory health insurance (GKV)<\/a>\u00a0and private health insurance (PKV).\u00a0Statutory (or public) health insurance (Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung)\u00a0is accessible to everyone. However, certain conditions apply to private health insurance<\/a> (Private Krankenversicherung). Up to 90 percent of people living in Germany are covered by\u00a0statutory health insurance (GKV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the German healthcare system<\/a>, GKV in Germany is also referred to as public health insurance, statutory health insurance, general health insurance, state-owned health insurance or compulsory health insurance. You might also hear the word in German Krankenkasse<\/em>, which are public health insurance providers such as Barmer, TK or AOK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to ensure that information is standardized and accurate in all areas, Vasistdas uses the term public health insurance for GKV in all its sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
