SBK – is part of the German healthcare system
Are you new to Germany and looking for information about the German healthcare system? And you wonder which health insurance is right for you as an expat? Here you will find answers.
The German healthcare system is extensive and will support you in the event of illness. Everyone who works in Germany makes a contribution to the healthcare system by being a member of a health insurer.
We’d be happy to explain to you what this means specifically in your situation and what you need to watch out for.
Health insurance in Germany
The social system in Germany is among the strongest in the world. You and your family automatically enjoy basic protection to ensure you are covered in old age, in the event of illness or after an accident. It is based on a simple principle: Solidarity and self-responsibility. Everyone contributes financially as much as they can. In return insurants can rely on robust protection when they are in need of it.
For everyone: statutory health insurance.
Statutory health insurance is an important part of the social insurance system. A health insurance network throughout Germany makes sure you receive all necessary medical services to become or remain healthy. The costs incurred for medical treatment with a doctor or in a hospital will be settled directly with your health insurance. You are free to choose the health insurance that appeals to you. Your registration is completely independent of any medical examination, your age or your income.
