German health insurance sector analysis

Overview

Recent reports have analyzed different facets of the German health insurance sector, focusing on financial stability and consumer satisfaction.

An analysis by Ascore regarding the private health insurance (PKV) sector identified Signal Iduna, R+V, Universa, and Württembergische as top-rated providers. However, the report highlighted a significant decline in financial security metrics, noting that valuation reserves for PKV providers dropped from minus 8.6 billion euros in 2024 to minus 15.5 billion euros in 2025.

Separately, a study by Servicevalue for the SZ Institut ranked providers based on customer satisfaction across various sectors. Top performers included Hanse-Merkur for outpatient supplementary insurance, Allianz for several occupational and long-term care categories, and Huk-Coburg for hospital daily allowance insurance. The study also found that cost remains the primary driver for consumer inquiries.
