Information on the Student Registration Procedure (“Studenten-Meldeverfahren“, SMV)
The new Student Registration Procedure (SMV) of the statutory health insurances stipulates an electronic exchange of the relevant data between universities and health insurances. From 1st January 2022, according to § 199a SGB V, data transfer between universities and health insurance companies must take place exclusively electronically in both directions. This electronic procedure replaces the previous paper procedure.
Data which are needed to fulfil reporting requirements will be exchanged within the SMV between universities and health insurance funds.
In detail this means:
From 1st January 2022, the health insurance company will inform the HfM Detmold digitally about:
1. existing health insurance.
2. a change of health insurance company.
3. a delay in payment of health insurance contributions.
Important: Re-registration for the next semester is then automatically blocked!
4. a payment default that no longer exists. In this case, the re-registration block (see point 3) will be removed, and only then will it be possible to re-register for the next semester.
The HfM Detmold sends information at the beginning and end of the studies of the insured students to the health insurance companies.
Please note:
The following students and groups of persons do not participate in the SMV:
1. young students
2. part-time students/secondary students
3. doctoral students
4. guest students /students in the master course “Musikvermittlung”
If you have any questions, please contact the Student Service.
Illness, chronic
Life as a student, amongst all the interesting and inspiring things which it includes, can also present challenges.
In the case of studying with a chronic illness or other health issues, challenges may be faced with regard to university access, the organisation of study, in lessons and exams, in connection with financial support, and regarding the use of facilities belonging to the university and students associations.
In such cases, please contact the student advisor in confidence. She will provide advice and examine with you the possibility of a compensation for disadvantage (“Nachteilsausgleich”). Such compensations can be applied for to compensate for difficulties during your study course, insofar as the difficulties are related to a health impairment. Amongst other requirements, a specialist medical opinion must be included with such an application.
