Health insurance - what do I have to do?

Proof of health insurance for international students

If you want to study in Germany, you need health insurance. You cannot be enrolled without health insurance. There is statutory health insurance (GKV) and private health insurance.

Which insurance can and may betaken out depends on various factors. But please note: The decision for a private or statutory health insurance applies to the entire period of study in Germany. We therefore recommend that you take out statutory health insurance if possible, because it is not possible to switch to statutory health insurance later on. Private health insurance can be much more expensive later than statutory insurance. The statutory health insurance settles with doctors directly. With private health insurance you have to pay for treatments/doctors' bills yourself before they are refunded by the health insurance.
