If you come to Germany as a foreign student, you will need health insurance to enroll at the university. You can choose between public and private health insurance.
The private student insurance Care Student is more affordable than most statutory health insurance in Germany. With Care Student you not only save more than 20 euro per month, but you also enjoy the privilege of being a private patient at the doctor’s.
For example, you may get a doctor's appointment more quickly or not have to wait so long while at the appointment.
As a student over 30, you save even more because you can no longer insure yourself with public health insurance companies at the lower student rate. You save up to 90 euros per month.
Care Student private health insurance for foreign students covers costs for medication as well as treatment costs at the doctor's and in the hospital. Please note that the plan includes a deductible of 300 euro per calendar year. There may also be waiting periods. Below you’ll find some of the Care Student benefits at a glance:
