“Proof of health insurance coverage with a statutory health insurance provider” or “exemption from compulsory insurance” is needed. Your insurance status will then be transmitted to us electronically by the statutory health insurance provider. It is not possible to upload a PDF file.

Do you have statutory health insurance coverage? Then please request the “Meldegrund 10 für die Universität Mannheim” (Absendernummer: H0002079) from your statutory health insurance provider. With this confirmation, the health insurance provider reports to the university whether you are insured with the health insurance provider yourself or whether you are coverd by family insurance, i.e. you are insured within the scope of the statutory health insurance scheme of your parents.

Have you taken out private health insurance? Then you have to request to be exempted from compulsory insurance by a statutory health insurance provider and also request the “Meldegrund 10 für die Universität Mannheim” (Absendernummer: H0002079).  If you were previously insured with a statutory health insurance provider, please contact this health insurance provider, otherwise contact any statutory health insurance provider of your choice.

Please request the “Meldegrund 10 für die Universität Mannheim” as soon as possible after admission, so that we receive your proof of health insurance coverage as early as possible. Without this proof, enrollment is not possible.

In Portal2, you can check if we have already received your proof of health insurance coverage. Plese refer to these instructions.

Please note:

• Submission of your health insurance card/EHIC or certificate of membership is not sufficient.
• If you are already enrolled in another degree program at the University of Mannheim, resubmitting the proof of health insurance coverage is not required.

International first-year students who have taken out health insurance in their home country can also be exempted from compulsory insurance if they have sufficient insurance coverage. For this purpose, please contact any statutory health insurance provider in Germany and request the “Meldegrund 10 für die Universität Mannheim”.  Detailed information can be found in Portal².
