Health Insurance
TECHNIKER KRANKENKASSE
TK has been our gesundheitspartner since 2017. Techniker Krankenkasse is not only Germany’s largest statutory health insurance fund, but also the best one – that’s the result of a test conducted by Focus Money business magazine (issue 7/2019). Whether online, by e-mail or telephone or in a face-to-face conversation – TK is at your service around the clock (source).
And the best part is that it's way simpler for students of Universität Paderborn since we have our very own TK office in our campus.
