    Preventative care pays off with SBK. And we think your commitment to your health is worth rewarding each year with an attractive bonus in the SBK Bonus Scheme. Adults receive up to €250 and more for the actions they take to promote their health, and children up to the age of 17 receive up to €175 and more per year.

  • Vaccinations – protection with peace of mind

    Vaccinations provide protection and it’s important to check your vaccination record regularly to ensure it is up to date. We’ll be happy to advise you on this matter. We will also cover the full cost of the vaccinations recommended by the Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) for you and your family.

  • Home help on prescription

    There are situations in life where a little support is a great gift. This is also the case, for example, when you wish to relax and get healthy again and leave the household to an experienced professional or trusted person. After all, if you know your children are in good hands, you can relax and enjoy some peace of mind.

    With Meine SBK (the online self-service branch), you can sort out lots of things concerning your health insurance online – it’s very convenient. For example, you can complete the annual family insurance form easily online and send it to us directly. Save valuable time and have the peace of mind of knowing that your family will continue to be fully covered.

  • 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!

    From your personal consultant. They can provide competent and personal advice on all of these important matters. We are also happy to help you directly with any other questions related to your family. With SBK you get individual answers to your questions for you and your family.

    There are clear advantages to covering your entire family with one health insurer. For example, the entire family has one shared personal consultant who takes care of everything for everyone. They know you and your family and what’s important and relevant to you. This saves you valuable time, which you can use for yourself and your family.
