How much is medical insurance in Germany?

beppi

Between 80 €/month and 2400 €/month, depending on many factors like your visa status, job, income, age, family situation, health status (incl. pre-existing conditions), how you were previously insured, as well as the scheme (public or private) and (in private), the coverage you choose.

This is a complex topic and you should read about it or engage a pofessional adviser (Choose one that you pay, otherwise he/she might just recommend the insurance - invariably then private - that pay the higherst commission!).

If you give us detailed information about your situation, we can also try to answer more specifically (of course without guarantee, as we are not experts).
