Telephone consultation:

Do you assume that you are subject to compulsory insurance? Then you can fill in and sign the questionnaire and send it to the insurance companies before they contact you.

Note: The required information can also be provided by a person you trust. To do this, submit a corresponding power of attorney to your agricultural health insurance fund or old-age insurance fund. As long as the power of attorney is valid, your Landwirtschaftliche Krankenkasse or Alterskasse will only contact your authorized person.
