Why the insurer context matters

Why the insurer context 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.

Basic or supplementary insurance: do not mix them
For EGK, the first question is not which wording to send, but which insurance is actually affected. Mandatory basic insurance follows a different logic from supplementary insurance: deadlines, consequences and wording may differ. PrimAI therefore asks you to confirm whether the cancellation concerns basic insurance, supplementary cover or a different administrative task. This separation avoids a broad document touching cover you wanted to keep.
What PrimAI keeps tidy for this insurer
The app prepares EGK documents only after identifying whether the task concerns basic insurance, supplementary cover or a policy request.

- supplementary cover
- benefits
- complementary medicine

Compare or optimize before sending
Cancelling EGK is not always the right first move. If the issue is mainly deductible, model, moving home or a higher premium, optimization may be enough. PrimAI therefore places cancellation next to other options: compare official premiums, test a realistic deductible, understand the model or prepare a switch only when the new situation is ready. Comparing basic insurance with official premiums is one thing; changing supplementary cover is another. Deadlines and consequences can differ.
