It is always possible to take out supplementary insurance from the 1st day of the following month. Supplementary insurance may be cancelled subject to a three-month notice period to the end of the year or to the end of the contract period in the case of multi-year contracts, which means no later than the last working day in September.

This means that, in the presence of a high health risk, supplementary insurance may not be granted to a person insured under basic insurance.
