Good insurance cover also when travelling

Your statutory health insurance company will only reimburse treatment costs abroad if you are travelling in a country that belongs to the EU or has a social security agreement with Germany. Beyond European borders, you are mostly a private patient. You will then also have to pay very high doctor or clinic costs yourself. If you get sick when you travel, a health insurance company will protect you.

The international health insurance pays treatment costs and rescue flight
The international health insurance pays the medical treatment for acute illnesses and accidents abroad, as well as necessary medicines and remedies, pain-keeping dental treatments and also the medically necessary repatriation from the country of travel - if necessary, even by expensive rescue flight. You can take out your health insurance for a certain number of travel days or cheaply as Annual Insurance.

Tip: A health insurance abroad is often included as an additional benefit in Automobilclub memberships, credit cards or supplementary health insurance. Use your contract documents to check whether you already have international protection together with one of these products.
