Information on compulsory insurance:

Basic
Students must have health and nursing care insurance in accordance with § 5 Para. 1 No. 9 of the German Social Security Code (SGB V). You have the option of taking out statutory or private insurance. Please note: If you take out private insurance, it is usually not possible to switch to a statutory health insurance fund until you have completed your studies.

From the age of 30, the compulsory student insurance ends. In this case, please submit a confirmation from your health insurance company that you are exempt from compulsory insurance.

Please contact your health insurance company or the Social Counseling Service of the Studierendenwerk for more information.

Enrollment

For enrollment at the Hochschule, prospective students request their health insurance company to notify the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln of their insured status (legally or not legally insured). For this purpose, the health insurance company electronically creates a message "M10", which contains, among other things, information on name, gender, address and date of birth as well as health insurance number and company number of the health insurance company, and sends it to the university.

The sender number of HfMT Cologne is H0000962.
