Public health insurance providers or "Krankenkassen" in Germany 1970-2024

Published by Jennifer Rudden, Nov 1, 2024

The number of "Krankenkasse", or public health insurance providers, in Germany fell below 100 for the first time in 2022. Between 1970 and 2024, the figure dropped from 1,815 to only 95. This development can be attributed to the high number of M&A deals in the sector, such as the January 2022 merger between BKK Melitta Plus and BKK HMR. This financial and organizational independence is a major trait of health insurance in Germany.
