The implementation of oscare® in-kind benefits proceeded as planned at the AOKs Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

On June 28, 2010, the oscare® benefits management system (benefits in kind) was successfully implemented at the AOKs in Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With the go-live at both health insurance funds, AOK Systems has replaced the previously used legacy system IDVS II for benefits in kind at all AOKs nationwide.

Following the successful launch of the oscare® in-kind benefits implementation project in September of last year, the software was smoothly put into operation within 11 months. Around 10 project employees from the systems and software company AOK Systems, together with the project employees of the operator's data center and the customers, ensured the project was completed on schedule.

Since the beginning of last week, approximately 1,228 employees of AOK Schleswig-Holstein and around 1,350 employees of AOK Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have been processing their benefit management business processes using oscare®. This includes in-kind benefit processes for assistive devices, travel expenses, home nursing care, and therapeutic treatments such as massage, exercise therapy, and physiotherapy. AOK Schleswig-Holstein serves around 670,000 insured members with approximately 1,970 employees. AOK Mecklenburg-Vorpommern serves around 472,000 insured members with approximately 1,570 employees.
