Summary
Machine-generated summaryTechniker Krankenkasse (TK) issues an electronic health card (eGK) to every insured person under section 291 of the German Social Code, Book V. The card, required for insured persons aged 15 and over, must carry a photo of the cardholder, which TK requests from its customers by post or online upload. Paper photos submitted by post are digitised by TK, which then outsources the assessment and editing of all submitted photos to the contractor, who checks, evaluates and processes them into photos conforming to eGK specifications for card production. The contractor currently handles roughly 5,000 to 12,000 images per working day, with an estimated total of about 7.08 million image inputs over a maximum contract period of 4 years. No minimum call-off volume is guaranteed.
