AOK Rheinland-Pfalz/Saarland has not yet set its additional contribution for 2027. Most insurers decide in November and December; the Federal Ministry of Health announces the official average for 2027 by 1 November 2026. As soon as the new rate is set, you will find it here.
If AOK Rheinland-Pfalz/Saarland raises its rate on 1 January 2027, you can give notice until 31 January 2027 – without the 12-month minimum membership. Because insurers no longer have to write to you, the contribution alert lets you know.
Your insurer no longer has to tell you when it gets more expensive. VGK24’s contribution alert will.
Since 30 July 2026, statutory health insurers no longer have to inform their members when they raise the additional contribution – but the deadline for the special right of termination still runs. With the contribution alert (“Kassenwecker”), you get an email as soon as your insurer’s additional contribution or benefits change.

Why is the comparison free?
The comparison and any advice are completely free of charge for you. We only receive remuneration if a switch of health insurer takes place – and it comes from the receiving health insurer, not from you. You incur no costs and no obligations whatsoever.
you, always
You don't have to cancel your old health insurance yourself. Your new insurer handles the entire cancellation. You just briefly tell your employer which insurer you're switching to – the new insurer then sends them the membership certificate (Mitgliedsbescheinigung) electronically.
The entire switch happens online. No public office, no fax, no waiting room. Your membership application takes just a few minutes to submit online.
All statutory health insurers open nationwide are obliged to accept members – with no health check and no waiting period. Company health insurers (Betriebskrankenkassen) may be restricted to certain groups of people.
