Analysis by financial experts: Lauterbach plans to eliminate homeopathic treatments as a health insurance benefit

According to a report by www.ruhr24.de,
What statutory health insurance companies pay and what they don't is a frequently asked question. Lauterbach now wants to cancel treatment entirely. Lauterbach is planning drastic changes in the financing of homeopathic treatments by statutory health insurance companies. He argues that homeopathy as a health insurance benefit makes no sense and argues that the basis of health policy should be based on scientific evidence.

This move would potentially impact the insurance market and the financial industry. Since homeopathic treatments are to be eliminated as health insurance benefits, statutory health insurance companies could expect savings of up to ten million euros. This could lead to a reduction in insurance premiums for those insured, or to the introduction of new benefits to compensate for the loss of homeopathic treatments. In addition, private supplementary insurance could increasingly cover homeopathic services in order to gain a competitive advantage.

Overall, Karl Lauterbach's move to remove homeopathic treatments from health insurance benefits could cause a shift in the insurance market and possibly also in the financial sector. It remains to be seen how German health insurance companies and insurance companies will react to this planned change.
