Statutory health insurance
Subject to social insurance contributions?
Do you need statutory health insurance?
Statutory health insurance is mandatory for employees, enrolled students, farmers, artists, and journalists in Germany. On principle every insured has the same claim for benefits: It covers the cost for seeing a doctor, operations, medications, medical devices from hearing aids to walking frames, and preventive measures.
