Health insurance contribution Survey for students

If you are studying, you must take out health insurance - through family insurance or independently.

Students must prove that they have health insurance when enrolling for studies. Even if they do not live in Germany.

Health insurance is also mandatory for practical periods of work that are completed during the course of study.

As a rule, students can be covered by family insurance free of charge through their parents in a statutory health insurance fund, provided that one parent is a member of a statutory health insurance fund. However, family insurance is only possible up to the age of 25.

For students who are married or live in a registered civil partnership, family insurance through the spouse or civil partner is possible if they are insured in the statutory health insurance.

If health insurance through the parents or partner is not possible, statutory health insurance companies or private health insurance companies offer reduced contributions.

Please contact the health insurance company of your parents or spouse or, if family insurance is not possible, a health insurance company of your choice.

• Age limit for family insurance: 25 years
• After expiry of the family insurance, insurance in the health insurance of the students may be possible.
