Private health insurance

The German health care system

Germany provides a good level of universal healthcare and is one of the safest countries in the world. In the event of an emergency, help will arrive within a few minutes. To ensure that everyone in Germany can benefit from good basic medical care and protection against high medical bills, all persons living in Germany must take out health insurance.

The German healthcare system is split into two parts: The statutory health insurance and the private health insurance. As Studienkolleg participants you have to take out a private health insurance. Please find the most important information on private health insurance on the right side.

Cost reimbursement and procedure

The doctor sends you the bill for the total costs of the treatment. You pay the bill from your account. Afterwards you submit the bill to the insurance company for reimbursement. The insurer’s claims department reviews the bill and transfers the reimbursable amount to your account.

Persons who cannot obtain insurance

The age limit for the MAWISTA Student tariff is 39 years.

Limitations on insurance cover

Please note, that the costs of treatment for pre-existing conditions and preventive examinations will not be reimbursed.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

What to do if you get ill or injured

In Germany, you should only go to a hospital’s emergency department if you need urgent medical care in an emergency. If you have an illness or injury that is not classed as an emergency, the normal course of action is to go to see a doctor in a doctor’s surgery. You are free to choose which doctors and hospitals you go to. This also includes specialists such as dentists, gynaecologists or dermatologists.

Before visiting a doctor, you should arrange an appointment. We recommend that you call your doctor’s surgery and explain your symptoms. The surgery will then arrange an appointment to examine you further and you can avoid a long wait. Many doctor’s surgeries also allow patients to book appointments online. If necessary, check whether the doctors at the surgery can provide advice in English as well as German.

Your doctor will give you a prescription for medicines. You hand this in at a pharmacy of your choice in order to receive the corresponding medication. Sometimes there is an additional fee for the medication. People with private insurance pay for the medication themselves first and then submit the bill to the insurer for reimbursement.

Immediate cost coverage

If you decide for a private travel health insurance like MAWISTA Student, an immediate coverage of the costs by the insurer can be essential. E.g. in case of an inpatient or extensive outpatient treatment.

For the organization, the MAWISTA emergency number is available 24/7.
