For many, the decisive argument for voluntary health insurance with the AOK is: If the partner or children have no income of their own or a low income, they are generally insured free of charge and can enjoy AOK benefits. Further advantages:
Secure contributions: The contribution is calculated fairly according to income – age and individual health risks do not play a role for us. No health check: There are no risk surcharges or exclusion of certain illnesses with the AOK. Periods free of contributions: As a rule, you do not pay health insurance contributions while you are receiving sick pay, transitional pay or maternity pay. Within the framework of family insurance, this also applies during parental leave if your spouse is insured in a statutory health insurance fund. With private insurers, premiums usually continue to be paid in full. Unbureaucratic billing: With us, you do not have to submit any invoices. As a rule, it is sufficient to show the electronic health card to the doctor or hospital. No advance payments: Privately insured must pay in advance even for high bills. AOK-insured pay only the statutory co-payments. Strong benefits: In addition to comprehensive medical care in the event of illness, the AOK offers numerous extra benefits. If you wish, you can supplement your cover to suit your individual needs.

The income threshold is the upper income limit. You do not pay contributions for income in excess of this. The income limit for assessing contributions is 58.050 Euro per year or 4.837.50 euros per month (2022). The minimum assessment limit (Mindestbemessungsgrenze) is the lower income limit.

The general health insurance contribution rate is 14.6 percent of monthly income. The reduced contribution rate is 14.0 percent. In addition, in both cases, the individual additional contribution of your AOK is added,, For long-term care insurance, all legally insured persons with children pay 3.05 percent, childless insured persons from 23 years pay 3.3 percent.

For employees, the general contribution rate of 14.6 percent applies with entitlement to sick pay plus additional contribution from your AOK.

Upon application, your pension insurance provider will grant you a contribution subsidy for health insurance, which covers the other half. You also receive the allowance for widow's pensions. You bear the contributions for nursing care insurance and other types of income alone:
14.6 percent plus additional contribution on income from self-employment, if the insurance includes a sick pay entitlement, and on pensions such as company pensions 14.0 percent plus additional contribution on income from self-employment without a sick pay entitlement, from renting and leasing, investment income and private life and pension insurance 7.3 percent plus half of the additional contribution on foreign pensions
