Ergo Versicherungsgruppe AG : HDI and DKV extend collaboration

Press release 19 December 2013

HDI Versicherungen and DKV Deutsche Krankenversicherung have extended their partnership. The new agreement, which will enable HDI Versicherungen to continue selling DKV's health insurance products in Germany and integrate them into their own product portfolio, will take effect from 1 January 2014. Neither HDI nor their parent company Talanx has its own health insurer. The partnership, which has already existed for ten years, will therefore continue without interruption. The agreement has been signed for an indefinite period, but for a minimum of five years.

"We are very pleased to be able to continue our long-term partnership with DKV in the future", said Markus Drews, Chairman of the Board of Management at sales company HDI Vertriebs AG. He added: "In so doing, we have the opportunity to offer our customers excellent health insurance cover alongside our own products and thereby round off our portfolio."

The co-operation with HDI Versicherungen has proved to be successful for DKV. "We insure private health benefits to suit a variety of individual customer wishes - from supplementary dental insurance through insurance for hospital stays to private comprehensive health insurance", said Clemens Muth, Chairman of the Board of Management at DKV. "We are glad to be able to continue providing these products in collaboration with HDI Versicherungen."
