Die freiwillige Krankenversicherung im GSVG.

The article "Voluntary Health Insurance in the GSVG" provides an overview of the various options for voluntary health insurance within the framework of the GSVG. The GSVG provides, among other things, for continued insurance coverage upon leaving mandatory insurance and the possibility of establishing health insurance coverage for certain family members. In addition, § 9 GSVG allows for the receipt of sickness benefits in the event of incapacity for work due to illness through the conclusion of supplementary insurance. Continued insurance coverage immediately follows the end of the previous health insurance to ensure uninterrupted insurance coverage. Continued insurance in the statutory health insurance is an important instrument to enable uninsured individuals to be included in the solidarity community and protect them from the risks and premiums of private health insurance.
