Wettbewerb in kapitalgedeckten Krankenversicherungssystemen: Ein risikogerechter Ansatz zur Übertragung von Alterungsrückstellungen in der Privaten Krankenversicherung

Abstract: The capital-funded health insurance system in Germany (the PKV) is afflicted with a lack of competition because insurants lose their ageing provisions if they switch their insurer. Therefore the transfer of „individual ageing provisions″ has been discussed for many years, but it is mostly regarded as impracticable due to information and incentive problems.

To strengthen consumer power and reduce this lock-in, the German legislature made a standardized portion of these old-age provisions portable across carriers for contracts signed after Jan 1, 2009; see Atal et al (2019) for an evaluation of this reform.…”

“…Ein weiteres Problem, das in einer Welt, in der sich die Rechnungsgrundlagen ändern können, auftritt, wurde bereits in [12,13] aufgezeigt. Bei der Bemessung eines risikogerechten Transferwertes müsste wohl neben der individuellen Risikolage eines VN auch die Risikolage des Kollektivs berücksichtigt werden, da diese eine Auswirkung auf zukünftige Prämienanpassungen hat.…”
