The company health insurance fund Post (BKK Post), formerly the Bundespost-Betriebskrankenkasse (BPBetrKK), was a German health insurance company from the group of company health insurance funds based in Stuttgart . The public corporation was responsible for the statutory health insurance and company health insurance fund of the former Deutsche Bundespost and its privatized successor companies.
It is not to be confused with the Post Office Health Insurance Fund (PBeaKK).
history
The forerunner of the BKK Post was founded in 1885 as the Postkrankenkasse . It was initially only open to workers , later also to employees in the German health insurance system. The Post company health insurance fund was opened in 1998 for all those with statutory health insurance.
After the privatization of the Federal Post Office in 1994, BKK Post was initially continued by the Federal Post and Telecommunications Agency Deutsche Bundespost (BAnst PT) in accordance with Section 7 of the Post Social Insurance Organization Act. It was spun off from BAnst PT in 1999 as part of a transfer of operations.
Under the sponsoring companies Deutsche Post AG and Deutsche Telekom AG , which followed the Bundespost as a result of the privatization , it merged with Volkswagen BKK on January 1, 2003, following a resolution by the two boards of directors of the two health insurance funds on September 25, 2002. The new name was Deutsche Betriebsskrankenkasse . The Deutsche BKK for its part merged on January 1, 2017 to form the Barmer Ersatzkasse .
Most recently, around 700,000 people were insured with the Post company health insurance fund. The contribution rate to health insurance in 2002 was 13.8 percent.
