The meaning of supplementary medical services for insurers, practices and patientsResearch Results live: Would you like a little more?

6 November 2025, 5:00 pm

In Germany, supplementary services are offered by both health insurance companies and service providers. In two current research projects, HCHE researchers investigated the responses these offers trigger in terms of demand and behavior. They explored how supplementary services influence the willingness to switch to another health insurance company. They also conducted an experiment to examine whether the acceptance or rejection of paid supplementary services influences the relationship between doctors and patients. We will present the results on November 6, 2025, in this year's edition of the HCHE Research Results live event series.

Prof. Dr. Petra Steinorth and Prof. Dr. Johanna Kokot will discuss with Dr. Klaus Reinhardt, President of the German Medical Association, and Andreas Storm, CEO of DAK-Gesundheit. The event will be moderated by Prof. Dr. Jonas Schreyögg.

The event is free of charge; registration is required and available here.
