Finding the right health insurance for your time in Germany is not easy, since there are a lot of rules and regulations to follow. What kind of insurance do I need in Germany? Do I need private or compulsory public health insurance? Is my family covered? Here at DR-WALTER TK, we offer advice on these and many other issues.

Some people become subject to compulsory insurance when they start working and can there-fore obtain compulsory public health insurance. Others do not have the opportunity to receive compulsory insurance. If you are not sure which of these groups of people you belong to: Let us advise you (German, English, Chinese)!
