If you are already insured with a statutory health insurance provider in Germany, please contact them. The health insurance company will then send the corresponding electronic notification of your insurance status (M10) directly to us.

If you are unable to take out statutory health insurance (e.g. because you are over 30 years old), please still contact a statutory health insurance company. They will then advise you.

If you are already privately insured or insured abroad, please also contact a statutory health insurance company in Germany and send them a copy of your letter of admission. Please also send copies of your insurance documents so that your insurance cover can be checked. If it turns out that your health insurance does not fulfil the standards required for enrolment, the statutory health insurance company will inform you of this and advise you. If you fulfil all the requirements, the health insurance company will send the corresponding electronic notification of your insurance status (M10) directly to us.
