If you come from an EU country and are under 30 years old, you can normally be insured here with your European health card.
However, it may happen that not all doctors in Germany accept the card. In addition, it may happen that the coverage offered by your health card in your country of origin is not the same as in Germany. In this case, you would have to take care of the additional payments. Therefore, it is always advisable to take out cheap private health insurance for the time you are in Germany and to avoid any unforeseen additional payments.
There are also some universities that only accept that you have German health insurance. This means that you must provide the university with a health insurance number from a German health insurance company.

Depending on your answer, the health insurance company will recalculate the situation and adapt the rate accordingly.
If you return to your home country, the health insurance company will cancel your contract.
In this case, you can cancel your health insurance by presenting the Anmeldung to the health insurance company. Do not forget that it is important to cancel your contract to avoid future payments.
