Medinavi AG: German health insurance policy holders give away 5 billion euro per year
Medinavi AG / Key word(s): Market Report/Statement German health insurance policy holders give away 5 billion euro per year ! Munich – 13.1.2014 The proven total savings made possible and resulting from the price comparisons carried out by MediKompass, amounted to approximately 13 million euro in 2013. In light of the around 7.5 million offers (treatment and cost plans) which are created in German dental practices every year, it would be possible to save patients around 5 billion euro per year in the dental sector alone. The AOK Baden-Württemberg and several dozen smaller company health insurance funds with up to around 100,000 members/policy holders each already mention MediKompass’ price comparison websites in their information brochures and on their websites. Several large public and private health insurance funds are also expressing an interest in actively recommending MediKompass’ services to their patients in the future. This should help make it possible for policy holders to make considerable savings. ‘We would like to contribute to ensuring that coincidentally belonging to a certain health insurance fund does not mean that a patient has to make completely excessive payments or additional payments for medical services,’ says Sascha Sterlemann, Managing Director of MediKompass GmbH.
