The first pilot insurers started using the new software in 2006, with the IKK classic the last health insurer was converted to the new software solution in December 2015. In 2016 it was decided to merge the software iskv_21c together with the originally optionally available integration platform 21c | ng to form the new GKV product standard "BITMARCK_21c | ng". This is to be implemented across the board from January 1, 2017.
