Exemption from the compulsory health insurance for students

In Germany, you must be enrolled as a university student at a state or state-recognized university. Due to your enrollment, you are regularly subject to the compulsory health and long-term care insurance with a statutory health insurance company of your choice. This obligation begins with the first semester or at the latest on the day of your enrolment (matriculation) after the start of the first semester.
However, you can be exempted from this obligation at the beginning of your studies if you already have another form of health insurance, for example private health insurance.
