Good afternoon. I just came to Hamburg from Colombia one week ago and I am in the process to enroll as Doctoral Student. Yesterday I went to the campus center for delivering my documents but, they told me that I need a public health insurance policy because I presented to them a private one (Actually, it was my health insurance travel policy which as you know is not exactly a medical insurance policy). Asking in the advice students service office, for getting a public insurance they told me that I am not able to get a public health insurance policy because I don't fit with the requirements due to is the first time that I'm going to live in Germany for a long time (4 years approximately). So, I can get only a private one. In this sense, I was checking in the internet for different health insurance companies (privates) but I don't know which is the most suitable for me in terms of the accomplishment of all requirements for the University. I checked already AOK, Mawista Hanse Merkur and Union, but I don't know if these are approved for the University. Please, can you help me?
Thanks in advance for your attention and quick response.
I look forward to hear from you
Best regards,
