Merger on July 1, 2010: Even better together

The pronova BKK and the BKK DER PARTNER are pooling their competencies and will merge on July 1, 2010. This was decided by the administrative boards of the two health insurance companies. Safety, quality and the best care combined with a good price-performance ratio for their customers. With these goals, pronova BKK and BKK DER PARTNER want to start a shared future. The new health insurance company will be called pronova BKK and will be based in Ludwigshafen. Contrary to the general trend in the health insurance landscape, those insured by pronova BKK continue to pay no additional contribution.

“The merger is another strategically important step in order to consolidate healthcare provision for our customers at a high level in the future,” emphasize Hans-Joachim Röminger, CEO of pronova BKK and Dirk Lauenstein, CEO of BKK DER PARTNER. “Extensive services and benefits, innovative health concepts and personal support are also the focus of the new fund,” the management of the two funds agrees.

As a result of the merger, pronova BKK remains a long-term competitive and future-proof health insurance company. Both company health insurance companies are debt-free companies and have a solid financial position. From July 1, 2010, the new pronova BKK will be represented nationwide with a dense branch network of more than 90 customer service and advice centers. Around 1,100 employees look after over 660,000 customers. The new pronova BKK is one of the five largest company health insurance companies and one of the 25 largest health insurance companies in Germany. The merger decision has been submitted to the responsible Federal Insurance Office for approval.
