<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCo-insurance with parents & Co<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If your parents, grandparents or spouse are employed, you can be insured with them. This model is one of the most common and the health insurance of many students in Austria is handled by family members without additional costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to be insured during your studies, the following points must be fulfilled:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-your primary residence is in Austria.
-you are not compulsorily insured yourself.
-you have not exceeded the age of 27.
-you are enrolled as a regular student at a higher education institution and
-you submit a confirmation of studies or, from your third semester onwards, the required proof of achievement of 16 ECTS annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are still receiving family allowance for your studies, the co-insurance automatically runs until your 24th birthday. However, if this is no longer the case, you must apply for an extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00d6GK student insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you are not insured with anyone else, we recommend that you insure yourself. The Austrian Health Insurance Fund (\u00d6GK) offers students in Austria discounted health insurance. In 2022, the costs amounted to around \u20ac 64.78 per month. Current prices can be found on the \u00d6GK website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The requirements for student self-insurance are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-you are enrolled at a state-recognised university or university of applied sciences in the EU, the ERW or Switzerland,
-you do not change your course of study more than twice
-you do not exceed the minimum period of study plus four semesters, and
-you do not exceed the maximum income limit of \u20ac15,000 per year despite having a student job in a home office or office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00d6GK’s student insurance is a so-called “all-risk health insurance”, which means that it covers the treatment of all illnesses. Once the contract has been concluded, it is binding for at least six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FeelSafe health insurance for students from abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
