Duration of coverage

The insurance begins or ends, for example, with employment. If the insurance relationship remains unchanged, you can cancel after 12 months at the earliest.

In Germany, the contribution to the statutory health insurance is automatically deducted from your gross salary.
With DAK-Gesundheit coverage, it amounts to 16.3%. Half is paid by you and half by your employer.
In addition, there is the statutory long-term care insurance with a contribution of 3.40% if you have a child and 4.00% if you do not have children.
If you are the main wage earner and you meet the conditions, you can also insure your family free of charge via family insurance.
