Supplementary Insurance
AXA Supplementary Insurance
In the case of illness, everyone wants to be well cared for. With Merck BKK you have good protection, but many people take out private supplementary insurance in addition to the statutory health insurance. These are intended to supplement the benefits of the statutory health insurance in the case of an emergency. All statutory health insurance benefits are regulated in the German Social Code. If you want to be insured beyond these benefits, you should take out supplementary insurance.
The choice of a supplementary insurance is not only about the right tariff. Before that, you have to ask whether the protection is necessary. Merck BKK offers you the MED tariff as a supplementary insurance via AXA Supplementary Insurance. The contract is concluded via Albatros Insurance Mediation. This tariff is subsidized by Merck KGaA with 75% for all Merck employees.
