Private Health Insurance for Civil Servants
As a (junior) professor or Akademische/
Please note: taking out private health insurance as a civil servant will take some time as you usually need to have a health check after your arrival in Mannheim. Private health insurance providers include different treatments in their coverage and determine the amount of health insurance payments depending on several factors, such as age, health status, contract duration etc.
Important notice: You also need to have health insurance for the period between entry and the beginning of your private health insurance contract. We recommend purchasing travel insurance for the first four to eight weeks of your stay while still in your home country.
Please choose a private health insurance provider before your arrival, so we can make the necessary preparations. Please make sure that your private health insurance policy can be combined with Beihilfe.
A list of all private health insurance providers can be found on the website of the Verband der privaten Krankenversicherungen e.V.
