1. Who can take out Care College Basic/Comfort/Premium insurance?
   
   For the purposes of training or further education
   
   • foreign nationals travelling temporarily to Germany or EU / Schengen states (except Austria);
   • foreign nationals living in Germany or Austria and intending to travel abroad temporarily except to the USA, Canada and Mexico (NAFTA);
   • German or Austrian nationals travelling abroad temporarily - except to the USA, Canada and Mexico (NAFTA);
   • German or Austrian nationals living abroad for at least two years and travelling temporarily to Germany or EU / Schengen states
   can insure themselves via Care College Basic/Comfort/Premium. The insured person must be at least 12 and no more than 35 years of age when cover begins or on renewal of cover. The policyholder must be at least 18 years of age.
   Note: The main reason for the stay abroad must be training and/or further education.
   
2. Applicability
   The insurance applies only during the stay in Germany, EU / Schengen states (except Austria) or abroad, as applicable (the countries of the North American Free Trade Area NAFTA: USA, Canada, Mexico are excepted). The insurance cover also applies if the stay abroad includes stays in more than one host country and a move to different countries is necessary as part of the language learning process or study/training. Brief stays in the home country and in third countries of up to 6 weeks per insurance year (insurance year: 12 months from commencement of cover) are possible.
   
3. How is the insurance cover taken out?
   All you need to do is complete the direct debit order and forward it to us. Once we receive your application, you will then also receive the insurance certificate by e-mail together with treatment vouchers to be given to a doctor. You will always receive your insurance card by post.
   We will then debit the premium(s) from your account in accordance with your chosen payment interval giving your policy number(s).
   You must apply for any renewal in written form before coverage expires.

4. Duration of insurance and waiting periods
   The insurance policy must be taken out for the full duration of the stay. It begins and ends
   on the dates stated in the insurance certificate; it should be taken out within 31 days of entry
   into the Federal Republic of Germany or EU/Schengen states or rather before the start of the journey abroad; it ends with regard to the health insurance after 5 years at the latest.

   If you have already left the country, or entered the country more than 31 days ago, you can nonetheless take out insurance. In this case a general qualifying period of 31 days applies merely to the health insurance. There is no qualifying period for accidents, or if you can demonstrate prior cover immediately preceding the new policy.
   

5. Renewal (follow-on policy)
   Should your stay last longer than planned you can simply take out a follow-on policy. But the application must be send to Care Concept AG online-form with the following link: renewals online before expiry of the original policy and the insurer must explicitly approve it. Any follow-on policy must start immediately at the end of the previous policy. If you apply for renewal later, a new waiting period of 31 days from commencement of the renewal applies, so it makes sense to conclude longer terms from the outset. In total, you can insure yourself for a maximum of five years – including all renewals – in the health insurance.
6. Termination - Cancellation
   Premature termination is possible if the insured person
   
   • leaves Germany or EU/Schengen states, or returns from the foreign trip, prematurely, or
   • becomes subject to social security insurance in the host country, or
   • no longer meets a condition for continuation of the policy, e.g. regarding the health insurance on ending of the further education course.
   The policy can be terminated at the earliest on the date on which Care Concept AG in text form receives the corresponding notification. An administration fee of EUR 5.00 will be charged on every refund of premium paid in excess.

Note: For treatment abroad, please send the originals of any bills you have paid to Care Concept AG in Bonn. Please ensure that the doctor makes a note of the diagnosis on the documents. Any reimbursement will then be made to the policyholder’s account number in our possession.

Study carefree and enjoy excellent insurance all round!

If you want to study in Germany later, you must as a rule be insured via a statutory health insurance fund (also see page 48: Extracts from the German Social Security Code). We give you the opportunity to then move seamlessly into a statutory health insurance fund.

To make it easy for you, we offer you a special service: For enrolment at a college or university you need a certificate from a statutory health insurance fund. We organize that for you.

Your benefits

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

Premiums

The German Ministry of Health establishes the premium for student health insurance and nursing insurance uniformly and at the same level for all statutory health insurance funds. As an example, for the summer semester 2017 these are

• for health insurance EUR 76,07 per month
  
• for nursing insurance EUR 16,55 per month or EUR 18,17 (for persons without children from 23 years of age).
  

It’s this simple

With us you enjoy complete insurance cover from the first day of the semester with all the added features in benefits and services. The college then reports to the health insurance fund that you have started your studies.

Without this confirmation you cannot start studying!
