Care Student is private, comprehensive health insurance.

Students in Germany: Care Student health insurance!

If you would like to enroll as a student at a German university or college, you have to provide proof that you have adequate health insurance coverage. Care Student health insurance was developed precisely for this purpose: It offers all the advantages of private health insurance for students at German universities/colleges – and all this at a lower premium than one would pay for public student health insurance.

The best thing about Care Student: For univeristy students, school students or interns, our health insurance even offers coverage when visiting your home country or when traveling – unlimited coverage in other European countries.

1. Who can insure themselves with Care Student?
   This plan was developed for students at state, state-recognized or private universities. Foreigner nationals can insure themselves through Care Student to carry out training or further education courses at approved universities and institutions. Prospective students who take part in pre-university language courses, etc. as well as doctoral students and boarding school students are also eligible for this coverage. The insured person must be at least 12 years old and not older than 34 at the start of coverage. The policyholder, i.e. the contract holder, must be at least 18 years old. For example, for students or pupils under 18 years of age, only one parent can take out the coverage.
   
2. Scope of insurance coverage
   The insurance is valid during your stay in Germany. The same applies to student insurance in other European countries. Insured stays in the home country and in third countries (non-European) are each possible in the first 4 weeks of a trip.
3. How is the coverage taken out?
   The online application process is completed in three simple steps:
   1. Step: Form requesting a few personal details
   2. Step: Online health questionnaire
   3. Step: Submission of additional information – contact and insurance details
   Once you have completed all three steps of the online application process, you will receive an e-mail within a short period of time containing the result of your application assessment.
   We offer a special service with this plan for new students and other persons who are required to make social security contributions: We will also take care of your exemption from mandatory insurance coverage and send you the confirmation of exemption you require for enrollment as quickly as possible.
   Should a positive plausibility check not be possible, we will contact you within two working days.
4. Duration of insurance coverage
   The insurance policy is valid for the entire duration of the stay. It begins on the dates specified in the confirmation of coverage. Care Student coverage ends after 60 months. The plan is then subsequently adjusted to a KVS1 plan of HanseMerkur Krankenversicherung AG.
5. Cancellation
   Termination of the contract is possible, for example
   • in the event of an early return to the home country (within Europe);
   • at the time of the adjustment into a KVS1 plan
   • at the end of two years, with a period of cancellation notice of three months to the end of the policy year (prerequisite: you must provide proof of equivalent insurance coverage!)
   
   Note: An early return to a home country outside Europe leads to an automatic termination of the contract; You must inform us of any changes to your stay. The insurance can be terminated at the earliest at the time at which Care Concept® AG receives the corresponding notification in text form.
