Beitrag f. Basistarif

German to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs Bank statement
Context:

Payslip from a German company.

In the box with personal information about the employee, and after the personal reference number and other details,
it says: "Beitrag f. Basistarif".

Could the f. stand for "freiwillig" and be to do with voluntary insurance contributions?

If so, any ideas about how to phrase this please?

"Contribution voluntary base rate" sounds a bit odd, but the best I can do at the moment.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Basistarif

Der Basistarif ist ein branchenweit einheitlicher Tarif in der Privaten Krankenversicherung, der zum 1. Januar 2009 mit dem GKV-Wettbewerbsstärkungsgesetz eingeführt wurde. Er stellt eine neuartige Mischform aus Elementen der privaten und der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung dar und steht allen Personen offen, die bei seiner Einführung nicht bereits anderweitig krankenversichert waren und für die mit der Gesundheitsreform 2007 eine Versicherungspflicht in der privaten Krankenversicherung begründet wurde.

The requirement for insurance cover can be met with basic coverage (‘Basistarif’). Private health insurance carriers have been required to offer this type of coverage alongside existing policy options since 1 January 2009.

Private health insurance companies must also offer so-called "basic" (Basistarif) coverage, which offers the same scope of service as the public health insurance system, but with a capped cost and is available to persons who are otherwise uninsurable.

The Insurance Contracts Act (Versicherungsvertragsgesetz) requires all private insurers to offer a basic coverage (Basistarif) comparable to that of the statutory system. This coverage must be made available to anyone eligible to be privately insured and at the same cost as the premiums charged by the statutory funds.
