Being pregnant and applying for German health insurance by john g.
This is a surprising and welcome development. If you are pregnant and qualify for German public health insurance/gesetzliche Krankenversicherung, you have never had a problem with the maternity costs - it麓s covered. A major problem has always been ...
Good day john_g , Apologies for digging up this thread, just wanted to run a few things by you - and I have read the forums at length. My situation: EU Citizen living in Sydney, relocating to Germany as an employee with a salary above 55000 ... Read More

Hi Beppi! Why would someone try to get the private Basistarif if they are an employee? Normal public insurance would be the normal thing to do with the employer chipping in. Read More

Well, I was clutching at straws here. Since even insurance personnel do not understand and follow these regulations in full, it may still be worth trying. (The alternative, giving up and aborting her stay in Germany, still remains, so there's ... Read More

Hi, suggestion for private health insurance in Germany, Berlin? a good friend needs some connections Thanks
A way to avoid that in the private system is to sign up for an Anwartschaft (both for price and future health problems in the private system ). Public insurance prices also go up yearly - based on the Beitragsbemessungsgrenze. I麓m actually a ... Read More

Hello ahoi! Private German insurances don't up their prices based on an individual client's age or illnesses- that is illegal. Price rises in the German system are based on general medical inflation, political decisions and on the general ... Read More

Funnily enough, I can actually see these last posts! The lady is privately insured so cannot switch to public insurance. There are no international insurances which cover an existing pregnancy if not already a client and non-pregnant clients are ... Read More

This isn't true! I'm an Australian freelancer and I am insured by BARMER GEK, gesetzliche krankenkasse. The reason public insurance (initially) will refuse to take you as a freelancer is because you ARE already insured if you're working ... Read More
