Statutory Health Insurers Report Surplus for 2025 Despite Rising CostsThe financial outlook for Germany's statutory health insurance providers has shown a temporary improvement, as recent figures indicate a surplus for 2025. This positive balance comes after a period marked by increased contribution rates for policyholders. The surplus has been primarily allocated to replenish the insurers' financial reserves, which at the close of 2025 stood at around 5.1 billion euros. In 2025, statutory health insurers recorded revenues of 355.9 billion euros, while expenditures reached 352.4 billion euros. Despite the recent surplus, the financial situation of statutory health insurers remains under strain.
