Step by step
The insurer context still matters

The insurer context still matters
EGK is often associated with complementary-health topics. PrimAI therefore explicitly separates basic insurance from supplementary cover and benefits. Useful to avoid a basic-premium switch accidentally touching separate benefit topics.

- deadline
The real risk in this task
The risk when looking at EGK as a new insurer is confusing low premium with good decision. The monthly amount is not enough: residence, premium region, deductible, model, accident cover, start date and exit from the old policy all matter.
What to check before preparing the document
PrimAI places EGK as a possible option, not as a commercial recommendation. The app compares the new situation with the current policy: what changes, what stays the same, which deductible is realistic and which model works in daily life. This avoids choosing before understanding consequences.
What PrimAI keeps separate for this insurer
The app prepares EGK documents only after identifying whether the task concerns basic insurance, supplementary cover or a policy request.
- basic insurance
- supplementary cover
- benefits
- complementary medicine
- deadline
Connection to comparison, deductible and model
Comparing basic insurance with official premiums is one thing; changing supplementary cover is another. Deadlines and consequences can differ.
