Suspension of health and long-term care insurance benefits in the event of non-payment of contributions to the artists' social insurance fund

The KSK checks daily whether you pay your contributions to the statutory health and long-term care insurance regularly and on time.

• If you do not pay your contributions in full and on time, the KSK will send you a written reminder.
• If you still do not pay your contributions in full, the KSK will check the amount of the arrears in statutory health insurance and social long-term care insurance contributions separately.
• If contributions are still outstanding after a further reminder, the so-called suspension reminder, you will receive a notice in which the suspension of benefits is determined.
• The KSK will continue to check your contribution payments.
• The health and long-term care insurance companies will pay for your medical treatment again as soon as you
  • the arrears in contributions and
  • any reminder fees and surcharges for late payment.

The benefits of the statutory health and long-term care insurance are suspended if

• you are currently insured for statutory health or nursing care insurance via the KSK,
• you have not paid your contributions to statutory health and nursing care insurance for 2 months, and
• you still have at least one month's contributions in arrears 2 weeks after the suspension was announced by reminder.

No additional documentation is required.

There are no costs for you.

You must always pay the contributions under the Artists' Social Insurance Act by the 5th day of the following month.

Incoming payments are checked daily.
