To add to this:

- German public insurance is priced according to income, not health condition. Preconditions aren't a thing°

- You know that the treatment is covered before it begins. There are no surprise costs. There are rarely any costs at all, except for a 5-10€ deductible that cannot go above a certain monthly amount.

- It covers your dependents for free.

- It covers students for very cheap.

- It covers you in all of the EU, by law. This includes internships abroad.

Basically, you can trust your insurance to fully cover all necessary care, with no exceptions.

OP, this is a good intro to German health insurance. It's written for foreigners. https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/german-health-insurance
