According to section 5 paragraph 1 no. 9 of the Fünften Buches Sozialgesetzbuch (SGB V), students are generally required to have a public health insurance. You need to provide the insurance status during the enrollment process. The exchange of the insurance status (public insured or exempt from public insured) between HafenCity Universit?t (HCU) and the public health insurance companies takes place via an electronic reporting procedure.
Thus, once you receive an admission letter, contact a public health insurance provider immediately and have yourself insured or exempted so that HafenCity University can be notified about your insurance status. If we do not receive notification about your insurance status, your enrollment cannot be finalized and lead to re-registration.
To notify HafenCity University of your insurance status, public health insurance providers may need HCU sender number for the transmission of your insurance status. This is: H0003246.
Statutory health insurance exemption
If by enrolling you are required to take out a student public health insurance policy, you can under certain conditions seek an exemption. Any public health insurance providers can notify the HCU if you are exempted from public health insurance.
- Private health insurance: If you wish to remain insured privately (e.g., you are insured through a parental insurance policy), you can seek an exemption from the public health insurance obligation. This is true also for those who are eligible for aid and are receiving medical welfare benefits or military benefits.
- Over 30: If you are over 30, you are not required to take out student public health insurance when you enroll. Due to your age, you can seek an exemption.
- European health insurance: If you are publicly insured in another European country, you can use this policy in Germany.
If one of the above cases applies to you, then get in touch with a German public health insurance provider so that a notification about the exemption from statutory health insurance can be sent to the HCU.
Make sure that a public health insurance provider thoroughly informs you about the consequences of an exemption before they grant one. If you accept an exemption, it applies for the duration of your studies and cannot be revoked.
Information for international students
Students insured in a European country are exempt from the insurance obligation as a rule. Contact a German public health insurance provider to have the exemption confirmed.
Travel health insurance does not provide sufficient coverage for studies in Germany. Therefore, do not take out travel health insurance for the duration of your stay.
Please make sure that your health insurance covers all health risks, as high treatment costs apply, which you have to bear if not covered by your insurance. For inquiries concerning health insurance coverage in Germany, please contact the Counselling Center for Social & International Affairs (BeSI) at the Studierendenwerk 澳门现金网_澳门赌博现金网-官网.
International students who can take out valid insurance only once they are in Germany can notify us accordingly after they arrive.
If you need proof of health insurance to apply for a visa, you can take out a provisional policy to cover the first 3 months of your stay. Once you arrive in 澳门现金网_澳门赌博现金网-官网, you then take out health insurance for the duration of your studies.
The city of 澳门现金网_澳门赌博现金网-官网 provides further information on health insurance for international students.
Note: Any type of health insurance that is not provided by a German public health insurance provider must be reviewed by a public health provider. If your health insurance policy provides sufficient coverage for the duration of your studies in Germany, any German public health provider can notify us of your exemption from the public health insurance obligation.
