history

With the new name Vereinigte BKK , it was created through the merger of Neckermann- Betriebskrankenkasse , founded on July 1, 1965, and BANK BKK on July 1, 2010. On January 1, 2011, another merger with BKK ENKA followed . The Neckermann-BKK opened in 1999, which meant that anyone who met the requirements for membership could become an insured person. In 1996 BANK BKK emerged from a company health insurance fund founded in 1871. As an open BKK, its area of ​​responsibility extended to the state of Hesse. The United Glanzstoff-Fabriken AG founded its company health insurance fund in 1904, and the later Enka GmbH , which opened for Hesse, gave its name to the BKK ENKA .

On January 1, 2017, it was merged with BKK Verkehrsbau Union , or BKK VBU for short.
