When enrolling, students are required to present proof of coverage by a German health insurance carrier. Insurance coverage from outside Germany may fulfill requirements; a decision about this is under responsibility of a German public insurance company.
At present the monthly insurance contribution amounts 64,77 EUR. An additional 13,13 EUR is due for the statutory nursing care insurance.
You may contact a statutory health insurance company of your own choice, one suggestion (AOK, located next door to HHL), is given here for >> DOWNLOAD.
Applicants not being covered by a German insurance policy must present proof of coverage by their foreign insurance carrier at a local statutory health insurance company, which will verify the validity of the foreign policy.
If your foreign insurance plan does not meet German requirements, enrollment in a German health insurance plan will become necessary. Please contact any statutory health insurance company for information on student health insurance. HHL does not accept declarations coming from private insurance companies.
Students who are from countries with which the Federal Republic of Germany has a social insurance agreement (the EU member states, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Montenegro, Norway, Switzerland, Tunisia and Turkey), and who are insured in their home country, should submit their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
This card must be obtained in the home country of the student. In this case, the student is entitled to health care in Germany. A further insurance policy from a health care company in Germany is not necessary. In case this student is not an EHIC cardholder, the mandatory system mentioned above will apply.
