Health insurance for students
Students can not only save money by switching to another statutory health insurance, but also benefit from many additional services.
Student contributions up to the age of 30 differ only slightly for the different health insurance companies, so that the contribution is not decisive here, but the additional services and options.
What are the notice periods?
Statutory health insurance companies usually have an 18-month binding period unless another contract has been concluded with the insurance company.
The notice period is always 2 months to the end of the month and must be in writing. E.g.: The old insurance was canceled in September, then the new insurance can start on December 1st.
Important: Only when the old health insurance company has confirmed the termination can the new one be activated.
Do I have to do something myself?
We prepare everything for you and automatically send the applications and cancellations to the respective insurance companies. Usually you have nothing else to do. With various health insurance companies, however, the cancellation confirmations are not sent to us or the new health insurance company, but go to you. We need this confirmation to activate the new health insurance company.
Will there be any costs for me?
There are no costs for you to switch to another health insurance company. Likewise, the statutory health insurance company is not allowed to demand an individual surcharge due to previous illnesses.
If you opt for a combination, the monthly fees for the additional insurance will apply.
Can the new statutory health insurance company refuse me?
No, in principle a statutory health insurance company cannot refuse anyone, no matter what previous illnesses someone has.
What do I need to apply for health insurance?
- Passport photo for your health insurance card
- Confirmation of enrollment
- Many health insurance companies also want to know the field of study
- Previous insurance data (previous insurance, insurance number, address)
This data is important in order to be able to automatically send the notices to the previous insurance company.
- Account details for collecting the insurance premium for self-payers
How long does it take to get my health insurance confirmation?
You will receive health insurance confirmations after the previous insurance company has confirmed your termination. As a rule, the insurance company only sends the cancellation confirmation to you, so it must be sent to us so that we can confirm the cancellation to the new health insurance company.
