Public insurance for students over 30 years of age

[F. Joelianti]

Hello,

I will start my international master program at UHH in this Summer Semester. Currently I'm still in my home country. I read that student compulsary health insurance is only for students with maximum age of 30. As I'm over 40 already, kindly advise what options of health insurance providers available for me. Is it more recommended to use public or private health insurance in terms of the scope of cover and the price?

Best regards,
FJ

Hi FJ,

I am sorry, but we cannot offer advice on what health insurance is the best choice for students in different individual circumstances. Our job ist just to check whether students who are compelled to have student insurance by law are adaequately insured, so we just offer advice on what an adaequate insurance is for those students. But I am sure Studierendenwerk Hamburg can help you regarding the question which insurance best fits your needs: https://www.studierendenwerk-hamburg.de ... fairs-besi
