Barmer is a leading statutory health insurance fund (Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) in Germany. With a history dating back to 1912, the company has grown through various mergers, most notably the 2017 merger with Deutsche BKK, to become one of the country's two largest public health insurers. Barmer's mission is to provide high-quality healthcare, innovative digital services (such as its e-care file and apps), and extensive preventative care programs to its approximately 9 million insured members. It operates as a public corporation under the supervision of the German Federal Office for Social Security (Bundesamt für Soziale Sicherung).
