Pregnancy, Birth, Children, and Fertility
Many health insurers offer more than is required by law
A comprehensive range of benefits relating to pregnancy, childbirth, and children, as well as artificial insemination, is an important consideration for many when choosing the right health insurance company. Many health insurance providers significantly supplement the statutory benefits in this area.
This applies to extended options for preventive care during pregnancy, additional benefits such as midwife on-call service during childbirth, and additional preventive examinations for children. There are also significant differences between the individual statutory health insurance funds when it comes to contributing to the costs of artificial insemination. For couples wishing to have children, families, or single people with children, carefully selecting the appropriate health insurance can bring considerable advantages.
The following table shows the statutory health insurance funds with the most extensive benefits in pregnancy, birth, children, and desire for children. Further down this page, you will find a list of the evaluated benefits.
