Changes from January 2022
According to § 199a SGB V, all prospective students must prove to the university before enrollment that
• that they are insured in the statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) or will be at the beginning of the semester, at the earliest on the day of enrollment or
• that they do not have statutory health insurance because they are exempt from insurance, exempt from compulsory insurance or not subject to compulsory insurance. In this case, too, you must contact a statutory health insurance company of your choice.
Since January 2022, this information has been transmitted directly to us electronically by the statutory health insurance company. Sending a copy of the insurance card or a written membership certificate with an application is not sufficient.
Depending on your health insurance status, please proceed as follows:
1) You are insured with a statutory German health insurance company,
then please request "Meldung 10" from your statutory health insurance company for the start of a course of study at the University of Lübeck (company number H 0001115). The health insurance company then reports digitally to the university that
- You are insured with the health insurance company as an independent member or are co-insured through someone else (M10).
2) You are insured with a private German health insurance company OR in possession of a European health insurance card (EHIC),
then please contact a freely selectable statutory health insurance company with the documents of your private health insurance or your European insurance card and request the "Meldung 10" for the start of studies at the University of Lübeck (company number H 0001115). The health insurance company then reports digitally to the university that - You have been exempted from statutory health insurance (M10).
The reports between health insurance companies and universities are made by secure and encrypted data transmission.
Please note that you must have any form of health insurance that is not statutory student health insurance checked by a statutory health insurance company. If your health insurance offers sufficient insurance cover for studying in Germany, the statutory health insurance company can digitally send us the confirmation of your exemption from statutory health insurance.
