The following extract was written in German and translated into English using Google Translate from Wikipedia.<\/em><\/p>\n The\u00a0Risk Structure Compensation\u00a0(RSA) is a financial compensation mechanism in\u00a0social<\/a>\u00a0health insurance systems<\/a>\u00a0with freedom of choice between health insurance companies. In order to reduce the problem of\u00a0risk selection<\/a>, either health insurers with a “good” risk structure of their policyholders pay compensation payments to insurers with a “bad” risk structure, or those with the “good” risk structure receive lower allocations from a central body than those with a “bad” risk structure. In the German statutory health insurance (GKV), a risk structure compensation has been introduced since 1994.<\/p>\n
