Around 11% of Germans take out a private health insurance policy. You can only sign up if you fall into one of these categories:

  • If you earn over €60,750 per year
  • If you earn under €450 per month
  • Students aged between 23–30
  • Self-employed individuals
  • Civil servants (as insurance is subsidized by the employer)
