GKV Reform 2026

Germany is planning to cut public health insurance — significantly.

The government plans to save €20 billion from the public health system. For well-earning expats, this means paying more and getting less.

🏥
Sick pay
70% → 65%
Sick pay could drop from 70% to 65% of your gross salary. On €5,000/month that's €250 less — every month you're ill.
💊
Co-payments
+50%
All co-payments — medications, hospital stays, therapy — planned to rise 50% and increase every year after.
👫
Partner co-insurance
+€193/mo
Free partner co-insurance is planned to end. Couples without young children could face up to €193 more per month.

FAQ

Common questions

PKV is Germany's private health system. Unlike public insurance (GKV), premiums are based on your age and health — not your salary. For high earners, this usually means significantly lower monthly costs with equal or better coverage.
If you're employed and earn above the annual threshold (€77,400 in 2025), or if you're self-employed, you can generally choose PKV. The 15-min call will confirm your specific situation.
Genuinely free. Dominic is compensated by the insurance company only if you decide to switch — and only if it makes sense for you. No cost, no obligation for the call itself.
Then he'll tell you exactly that. Dominic regularly advises people to stay on GKV. An honest "no" is the whole point of the call — it's what builds trust.
If PKV makes sense, Dominic will walk you through options and next steps — at your pace. If not, that's it. No follow-up pressure, no repeated calls.
Yes — 100% in English. Dominic advises expats every day and conducts all calls in English. No German required, no forms to fill out beforehand. Just show up.
