Important questions about insurance cover for families
Children are generally insured free of charge: this is true for statutory family insurance in many cases. Basically parents can decide for themselves whether their offspring are covered by family insurance under the father or the mother. It therefore does not matter whether the parents are married. There are exceptions whereby children cannot be insured free of charge. We’ll be happy to advise you on this matter.
Medical examinations after the birth of the baby are generally covered by the mother’s health insurance. We are very pleased that your family has grown and wish to welcome your little one to our large SBK family. Inclusion in family insurance is very easy: once you have received the birth certificate, simply contact your personal consultant and we will take care of the rest for you and your baby.
Yes, you can switch even when you are pregnant – it’s very easy once the usual 18-month period of commitment for your old health insurer has elapsed. And the notice period is also just a short wait. It is just two months starting at the end of the month.
Switching to SBK is super easy – it just takes three simple steps: complete a declaration of accession; terminate your old health insurance; send us your old health insurer’s confirmation of your termination – and then you’re a member of SBK. And if you want it to be even easier, just let our team of consultants take care of your switch. We’ll be happy to do it for you. Just call us on 0800 072 572 587 00 (free of charge within Germany). We look forward to welcoming you as a member!
