Family Public Health Insurance in Germany
Family Public Health Insurance in Germany
Who can be insured?
It is sometimes possible to coinsure family members in a German Krankenkasse. Under what circumstances?
Spouse A is publicly insured and can coinsure spouse B if the latter does not earn more than 485€ a month. Their own children and adopted children can be included.
Children can be insured up to their 25th birthday if still studying.
Spouse A with a 520€ Minijob can stay family insured with spouse B but not with a Midijob ( 521€ or more)
Who cannot be insured?
Family members who are self-employed and earning more than 485€ a month (as of January 2023) must have their own insurance.
Privately insured members must stay privately insured unless their income drops below 485€ a month (from January 2019).
Children of a parent who is privately insured and earning over 66,600€ a year (as of January 2023) can be publicly insured with the other parent if the latter is publicly insured BUT NOT IN FAMILY INSURANCE. The children can be so called (
freiwillige Mitglieder
) voluntary members. In such a case, each child costs approx. 160€ a month.
