Student insurance - Public health insurance for students (DAK-Gesundheit)

If you would like to study in Germany, you must as a rule be insured via a statutory health insurance provider (please refer to: Extracts from the German Social Security Code (Sozialgesetzbuch)). We offer you the opportunity to insure yourself with a statutory health insurance provider.
To make it easy for you, we can provide you with a special service: In order to enroll in a college or university, you need written confirmation of coverage from a public health insurance provider. We will organize that for you:

• one-stop optimal insurance coverage from the very first day
• foreign language support
• an affordable contribution rate with outstanding service

With us you can enjoy complete insurance coverage starting from the very first day of the semester with all the added bonus points in benefits and services. Simply present your confirmation of coverage while enrolling, and the college/university will then report to the health insurance provider that you have started your studies.

Without this confirmation you cannot start your course of study!
