GKV Stabilization Act approved

The German Bundestag and Bundesrat approved the Act to Stabilize Contributions Rates in the Statutory Health Insurance System (GKV-Beitragssatzstabilisierungsgesetz) on July 10, 2026. This completes the parliamentary process.

Fresenius’ perspective in brief: 

• Fresenius’ Full Year 2026 guidance is unchanged.
• The approved Act preserves annual hospital reimbursement growth, and on balance, is more favourable than the Cabinet Draft, confirming the direction the Company flagged in April 2026.
• Fresenius Helios’ revenue growth and 10-12% EBIT margin ambition as part of the Fresenius Financial Framework remains unchanged.
