The fixed amount for health insurance with copayment is usually lower, so copayment insurance is an interesting option for those who do not use health insurance much.

 

At DKV, the copayment varies according to the insurance modality you choose. Below, we will give you details of our health insurance policies with copayment and no copayment, so that you can choose the option you prefer:

Choose health insurance without copayments if you are going to use it frequently. As a result, you will not have to pay any additional charge when you use your insurance.
