About health insurance in Germany

Health insurance in Germany is split between the public health insurance and private health insurance. While there are key differences in how they operate, there are certain requirements one needs to meet in order to be covered under a private health insurance. Self-employed, freelancers, students and civil servants can freely join private health insurance without any further requirements. Employees can join a private health insurance if they meet the annual insurance limit (annual earning limit -"JAEG"). The current insurance limit for 2024 is €69,300 per year. Otherwise, employees must be insured under the public health insurance.

How to buy private health insurance

Eligibility Criteria for private health insurance

The eligiblity criteria for getting private health insurance depends mainly on your occupation. Employees are eligible for private health insurance if they meet the annual gross income limit (JAEG).

Civil servants can be insured privately without any prerequisites and level of income. In the majority of cases the employer covers half or more of the insurance cost similar to employees.

Self-employed, freelancers and students can freely choose to be insured privately. Addidiotnally, public health insurance providers are not obligated to cover third-country nationals so in many cases self-employed persons need to take out a private health insurance.

Documents Required to buy private health insurance

Employed persons who will be insured through the public health insurance will be registered and insured by their employer. However, employees can choose any public health insurance providers they prefer, this needs to be communicated to their employer and no further requirements are needed.

Since private health insurance costs are calculated on your health status, among others, it is necessary to provide a doctor evaluation form. The appointment can be set up by us, and once completed the only thing we require is a copy of your passport.
