You will need to take out health insurance for your enrolment and studies. We strongly recommend that you choose a German statutory health insurance (GKV).
Even if you can or want to be exempted from compulsory insurance, you must contact a GKV. They will check your insurance cover and can exempt you from compulsory insurance if necessary.
With a GKV, you have very good insurance cover. The health insurance companies pay for
-
General practitioner visits
-
Dental care
-
Preventive medical check-ups
-
Hospitalisation
-
Care during and after pregnancy
-
Treatment for serious illnesses.
