By law, all students MUST have sufficient health cover for their stay in Germany to become registered as a student at a German university and/or to apply for a student visa/residence permit. EU-students are normally sufficiently covered by their national insurance plan. Please submit a copy of your European Health Insurance Card (front and back page) valid for your entire exchange at EBS. Non-EU-students should be careful in selecting a health insurance plan as it has to satisfy the very strict requirements of the university AND the immigration office (for visa/residence permit application). From Spring 2014 it will be mandatory for all students that are staying at EBS for more than one semester to purchase a public German insurance plan (except for holders of a valid European Health Insurance Card). In general, we strongly recommend to ALL students to purchase full German student health coverage for their stay at EBS. All public German Insurance provides offer the same, comprehensive services for the same price (ca. 78 EUR per month). Barmer Insurance for example offers a very convenient email application service: Barmer: please contact Mr. Oliver Weick at Barmer Insurance: Oliver.weick@barmer-gek.de or +49-(0)611-3571-51-6001. Other public insurance providers in our area are for example TK (www.tk.de), AOK (www.aok.de) or DAK (www.dak.de). If you are staying for only one semester and do not want to get full German health coverage, please take note of the following matters: Other plans may be cheaper but they provide less comprehensive coverage and mostly you have to pay all treatments in advance before being able to reclaim some of the costs! After arrival you need to get your insurance plan validated with a public insurance provider: they have to confirm that your coverage equals their comprehensive plans! the immigration office that decides over your visa and residence application is extremely STRICT which plans they accept! Most international plans are NOT sufficient for them! If a student hands in a plan not accepted by the immigration office, it will be rejected and the visa application will be halted. This may cause several weeks delay in the visa process and result in a student not being able to arrive in time for semester start. If you decide to reject full student health coverage plans, we strongly recommend one of the following plans as they are acceptable for the immigration office and validation: Caremed: www.caremed-travelinsurance.com (purchase at least CAREMED Travel health insurance) HanseMerkur: https://portal.versicherungsdienste.de/dsw-studenten-kv/index.en.html Please note that travel insurances (= only emergency treatments) are IMMEDIATELY REJECTED BY THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE! Also, they only accept insurance documents issued in EITHER GERMAN OR ENGLISH! 5
