We will provide you a personal contact with Techniker Krankenkasse, after your arrival in<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong>. Other accredited Krankenkassen are, AOK (Allgemeine Orts-Krankenkasse), the DAK<br />
(Deutsche Angestellten-Krankenkasse), the BK (Barmer Ersatzkasse) or the KKH<br />
(Kaufmännische Krankenkasse). <strong>The</strong>ir services do normally not differ substantially and the<br />
fees for students are the same.<br />
Certificate <strong>of</strong> the private health insurance<br />
Students who have their health insurance with private companies obtain an exemption from<br />
the compulsory German health insurance through any accredited Krankenkasse. However,<br />
once you have been exempted from the compulsory German health insurance, you can never<br />
be insured by the German state as long as you remain a student. For students who want to<br />
insure themselves in Germany some day, e.g. because they decide to spend their lives here,<br />
it may make sense to register health insurance by an accredited Krankenkasse or they will<br />
have to keep on using private (and the older you are) more expensive companies.<br />
With the AOK you will receive the exemption the same day you provide the certificate. Others<br />
might take a few days, but other public health insurance institutions are accepted, too.<br />

Exchange students who have no insurance or have insurance from their home countries not<br />
recognized in Germany must take a German health insurance for students. (For information<br />
contact for example the TK. See addresses above.) At the <strong>TU</strong>B in the Studentisches<br />
Koordinationsbüro or at one <strong>of</strong> the Krankenkassen you can obtain this insurance for a monthly<br />
premium <strong>of</strong> approx. 65 € at present.<br />
Please note, that you have to pay 10 € if you go to a doctor for the first time in a quarter <strong>of</strong> a<br />
year. (1. quarter: January to March; 2. quarter April to June; 3. quarter July to September, 4.<br />
quarter October to December). If you need to consult a second doctor the first one where you<br />
have paid gives you a transfer document with which you go to the next doctor with a different<br />
specialization.<br />
