The maximum entry age is 74 years.

 What’s the longest period for which I can insure myself under the Care Expatriate plan in Germany?

Auslandsversicherung Bild 12The maximum duration of coverage is 5 years (incl. all extension) for stays in Germany.

How long (including extensions) can I insure myself under the Care Expatriate plan abroad (countries other than Germany)?

Persons taking out a 5-year policy valid outside of Germany will receive a one-time acceptance guarantee for a follow-up policy for a maximum period of a further 5 years (Care Expatriate Comfort / Care Expatriate Premium). Any number of applications for policy extensions up to a further 5 years can be made until reaching the age of 75.

How much does the insurance cost?

The monthly premium for Care Expatriate international health care insurance depends on the age of entry, the selected plan rate, the deductible amount and the destination country/region (including/excluding USA, Canada, Mexico).
Policies for a 28-year old person staying in USA, Canda, Mexico can pay as little as EUR 58.00/month for their health insurance. A detailed premium overview can be found in the Description section.

 Does the international health insurance plan, Care Expatriate, also apply in the USA, Mexico or Canada?

Auslandsversicherung Bild 13 Care Expatriate international health care insurance is also valid in USA, Mexico and Canada, provided that you have chosen the option of including USA, Mexico and Canada in the coverage. The following special rules apply for policies of at least one year duration with validity outside of USA, Mexico and Canada: during the period of coverage, temporary stays in USA, Mexico and Canada are included in the insurance up to a period of 42 days per policy year. The term “policy year“ refers to a period of 12 months, starting on the date on which coverage begins. In cases in which the policy lasts for less than a year, provided that it follows a completed policy year, the maximum duration of coverage for these stays is reduced proportionally to 21 days for a policy period of 6 months and 31 days for a period of over 6 and less than 12 months. The insurer must be informed in writing of the respective individual trip.

Will I also be insured during an interim visit to my home country?

The insurance will also cover temporary returns to the home country. Depending on the selected plan rate, the total duration is 30 days (Basic), 45 days (Comfort) or 90 days (Premium) per policy year. Care Concept AG requires prior written notification of the stay in the home country.

Is the insurance recognized by foreign authorities (embassies, consulates, etc.)?

Our insurance plans are specifically tailored to the needs of people abroad and generally fulfill all the requirements for the granting of a visa (e.g. Schengen visa). The only exception known to us so far is Switzerland.

Are the costs of pregnancy covered?

Auslandsversicherung Bild 14Pregnancies are covered, provided that the date of conception is not before applying for coverage and the commencement of coverage. As long as the pregnancy is covered by the insurance, all examinations and medically necessary treatment regarding the pregnancy are considered as insured events and are, thus, also insured.

Can I also insure a child born while I am covered?

If, on the date of birth, one parent has been insured with Care Expatriate for at least 3 months, the child is registered with us within 2 months from the date of birth and no other insurance coverage exits, newborns with foreign nationalities can also be insured with no risk premiums and waiting periods.

Are check-ups and screening examinations covered?

Preventative medical check-ups are included at the Comfort (up to EUR 250.00 per policy year) and Premium (up to EUR 500.00 per policy year) rates. The following check-ups in particular are included:

  • for early detection of cancer
  • for early detection of cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases and diabetes
  • for ensuring the normal physical and mental development of children
Are vaccinations for the country of destination also covered?

No. Vaccinations and immunizations are excluded in this plan.

Is liability insurance included in the Care Expatriate plan?

Is accident insurance included in the Care Expatriate plan?

Auslandsversicherung Bild 15 The costs of medical treatment alone, which becomes necessary after an accident, are included within the framework of the benefits provided in this plan. After an accident, however, you will not receive compensation in the case of permanent impairment of your physical or mental capacity (permanent disability).
In addition to international health insurance, we also recommend that you take out a "Care Protector" accident and liability policy. You can purchase this coverage quite conveniently along with your health insurance under Online Application for a premium starting at just €2.00 per month.

Can I insure myself in a crisis region?

The geographic scope of Care Expatriate international health insurance also covers so-called "crisis regions," but the following limitation should be considered: the insurer is under no obligation to provide coverage for illnesses and their consequences, for the consequences of accidents or for deaths, which were caused by acts of war or active participation in riots and are not explicitly included in the insurance coverage.

Will I receive an insurance card with which I can file my claims?

You will receive an insurance card, on which your personal data and a summary of the insurance benefits are listed. You will, however, not receive a chip card, as is common with the public insurance providers in Germany. The insurance card provides proof of your coverage under the international health insurance plan Care Expatriate.
