Avoid unnecessary accident insurance
If you work at least 8 hours per week for the same employer, then you already have accident insurance through this employer. This means you can exclude accident insurance from your basic health insurance, reducing your premiums by 7%.
Pay your premiums in advance
Save 1% by paying your premiums annually in advance. Save 0.5% by paying six-monthly in advance. You can easily amend your payment schedule under Payment options.
