Study carefree while enjoying excellent insurance coverage!

If you would like to study in Germany later, you must as a rule be insured via a public health insurance provider (please see excerpts from the German Social Security Code). We give you the opportunity to then move seamlessly into a statutory health insurance coverage.

To make it easy for you, we offer you a special service: For enrollment in a college or university you need a certificate from a statutory health insurance provider. We arrange this for you.

• optimum insurance coverage from the very first day from a single source
• foreign language support
• affordable premium with outstanding service

Premium payments

The premium for student health insurance and long-term care insurance is established uniformly and at the same level for all public health insurance carriers. There is also an additional contribution from each individual fund. The total amount as an example, for the summer semester 2020 these are

• for health insurance EUR 88,13 per month
  
• for nursing insurance EUR 22,94 per month or EUR 24,82 (for persons without children from 23 years of age).
  

It’s as easy as this

With us you enjoy complete insurance coverage from the first day of the semester on with all the added advantages in benefits and services. When enrolling in a college or university, you just need to present your confirmation of insurance coverage. The college will then report to the health insurance provider that you have started your studies.
