Working in Germany – Health insurance for foreign workers

Generally: an employee is insured within the country of their workplace. The German health insurance system is characterised by the dual system of income.

Income < 5,775 €

Statutory health insurance
  • Principle of solidarity: every insured person pays the same percentage of his income as a premium.
  • BKK PwC: 16.08 % paid by the insured person (8.04 %) and the employer (8.04 %).
  • Premiums are calculated up to the so-called “contribution ceiling” (2024: 5,175.00 € monthly).
  • Family members without an own income are covered free of charge and can access the same benefits as the members themselves.
  • Not permitted to make a profit.

90 % of Germans are part of the statutory health insurance system.

Income > 5,775 €

You can choose between private health insurance or statutory health insurance

(private Krankenversicherung – PKV)

  • You can be privately insured if the monthly gross income exceeds the income threshold for statutory insurance (2024: 5,775 € monthly).
  • The fees of a private health insurance are calculated depending on your state of health, age and the insurance tariff. The private health insurance can even charge you a risk premium for your health or even deny to insure you.
  • The fees of a private health insurance are not regulated by the government.
  • Services can also be adapted for each policyholder individually, but for each person insured you have to pay a separate fee. The private health insurance does not insure you family just for one fee like in the statutory system.
  • The insured person first pays all treatment costs on it’s own and the insurance company will then reimburse the costs upon submission of the bill.
