Procedure descriptions
Apply for health insurance for trainees, pupils and students
Trainees are automatically covered by compulsory health, nursing care, pension and unemployment insurance from the start of their vocational training. The option of family insurance through their parents no longer applies.
They must therefore also make additional payments. This does not apply to children and young people under the age of 18. There is always an excess for travelling expenses.
Pupils and students can remain on family insurance through their parents until they are 25 years old. This also applies to people who have completed a voluntary social or ecological year or federal voluntary service. Voluntary service can extend this period.
After that, they must also take out their own insurance.

Costs
The contribution to health insurance is 14.6 per cent of the gross salary. 7.3 per cent of this is paid by trainees and 7.3 per cent by the employer. This 50/50 split also applies to the individual supplementary contribution.
If the trainee's salary does not exceed 325 euros per month, the employer pays the contribution alone. If the training allowance exceeds 325 euros due to a one-off payment (e.g. Christmas bonus or holiday pay), the trainee and the employer pay the contribution for the excess amount in equal shares. In the case of voluntary service, the assignment location generally bears the contribution alone.
Miscellaneous
If the training allowance does not exceed 325 euros per month, the employer bears the contribution alone. If the training allowance exceeds 325 euros due to a one-off payment (e.g. Christmas bonus or holiday pay), the trainee and the employer pay the contribution for the excess amount in the aforementioned proportions. In the case of voluntary service, the assignment location generally bears the contribution alone.
