The Techniker Krankenkasse, with which I have been insured for over 35 years, is very good with the benefits! The TKK's contribution department is dishonorable. It promises unbureaucratic help, but it's the least bureaucratic bunch I've ever seen. They either lack the necessary mathematical knowledge or cannot read a tax assessment there. From a pension of 160 euros and about 400 euros rental income = 560 euros including wife, they also want to collect 260.00 euros contribution, although my pension insurance makes the contribution.

Again: The TKK is very good - but the fee calculator is absolute rivets trying to rip the members off. Maybe because they are not familiar with mathematics.
They assume that I would have earned income from a business if I have at least 60% degree of disability, shortness of breath and severe walking difficulties.
Except for the above I have rental income after deducting the necessary costs. I have income from the business! If the "clerk" insists, may I and my wife make a living.

The TKKbbin is generally very good
