FAQ
Questions fréquemment posées
TK costs €141.16/month for students under 23 (or with children). Students aged 23+ without children pay €146.29/month due to the additional nursing care surcharge. This breaks down as: €87.38 base health insurance + €23.00 Zusatzbeitrag (2.69%) + €30.78 nursing care (or €35.91 if childless and 23+).
Yes, TK has the best English support among German public insurers. They offer a 24/7 English-language hotline, the TK-App with English interface, an English website (tk.de/en), and English-speaking staff at many branches. Not all written correspondence is in English, but phone and app support are excellent.
Yes, if you are under 30 and enrolled in a degree program at a German university. You must sign up within the first 3 months of enrollment. Language course and preparatory course (Studienkolleg) students are not eligible for GKV.
TK rewards healthy behavior with up to €200/year in cash (or €400/year as Gesundheitsdividende if reinvested in health products). You earn points for preventive checkups, vaccinations, sports club membership, fitness tracking (via Google Fit, Samsung Health, or Fitbit), and health courses.
All GKV insurers cover the same legally mandated base benefits. TK stands out for international students thanks to its English-language support (24/7 hotline, English app), competitive Zusatzbeitrag (2.69% vs. BARMER's 3.29%), and strong digital services. AOK offers more branch offices, while BARMER excels in telemedicine and mental health extras.
HEK costs €142.87/month for students under 23 (or with children) and €148.00/month for students aged 23+ without children. Breakdown: €87.38 base health insurance + €24.71 supplementary contribution (2.89%) + €30.78 long-term care insurance (or €35.91 if childless and 23+).
Not quite — TK's supplementary rate is 2.69% vs. HEK's 2.89%, so TK is €1.71/month cheaper (€141.16 vs. €142.87 for students under 23). HEK is still well below average and among the more affordable nationwide public insurers in 2026.
HEK's English support is limited — the primary language is German. There is no dedicated English hotline. If English support is essential, TK, BARMER, or SBK are better suited. For students with German skills, HEK's low supplementary rate makes it attractive.
