Important information about insurance coverage
  1. Who can take out Care College Basic/Comfort/Premium insurance?

    For the purposes of training or further education measures, the following individuals can insure themselves via Care College
    • foreign nationals traveling temporarily to Germany or EU / Schengen states (except Austria);
    • foreign nationals living in Germany or Austria and intending to travel abroad temporarily except to: USA, Canada and Mexico;
    • German or Austrian nationals traveling abroad temporarily - except USA, Canada and Mexico
    • German or Austrian nationals living abroad for at least two years and traveling temporarily to Germany or EU / Schengen states

    The insured person must be at least 12 and no more than 40 years of age when cover begins or on renewal of cover. The policyholder must be at least 18 years of age.
    Note: The main reason for the stay abroad must be training and/or further education.

  2. Geographic scope of coverage
    The coverage applies only during the stay in Germany, EU / Schengen states (except Austria) or abroad, as applicable (exception: USA, Canada, Mexico).
    The insurance coverage also applies if the stay abroad includes stays in more than one host country and the change is necessary as part of the language learning process or course of study/training program. Brief stays in the home country and in third countries of up to 6 weeks per policy year are possible (policy year: 12 months starting from commencement of coverage).
  3. How is the insurance coverage purchased?
    Once you have completely filled in and sent the online application form, we will deposit your insurance documents for you in our My Care Concept customer portal shortly therafter and upon successful assessment of your application. There you will find the following documents, which you can download, print out and use:
    • your confirmation of coverage for presentation at embassies, visa offices and authorities
    • the insurance terms and conditions incl. consumer information as well as a fact sheet on data processing and an excerpt from the Insurance Contract Act (VVG)
    If we are unable to approve your application, we will contact you in writing within two working days.
Please note:
Payment to Care Concept AG is deemed made if a pre-authorized payment mandate is issued when the insurance is taken out and the account number provided contains sufficient funds when the direct debit is executed.
  1. Duration of coverage and waiting periods
    The insurance policy must be taken out for the entire duration of the stay. The period begins and ends on the dates stated in the policy; the coverage should be taken out within 31 days of entry
    into the Federal Republic of Germany or EU/Schengen states or rather before the start of the journey abroad; it ends with regard to the health insurance after 5 years at the latest.

    If you have already left the country, or entered the country more than 31 days ago, you can nonetheless take out insurance. In this case a general qualifying period of 31 days applies merely to the health insurance. There is no waiting period for accidents, or if you can demonstrate prior cover immediately preceding the new policy.
  2. Extensions
    If the stay lasts longer than planned, you must inform Care Concept AG before the end of the originally planned expected term in the Care College tariff. The easiest way to do this is in your account in the My Care Concept customer portal.
    The maximum duration of coverage of – including all extensions – is five years for health insurance.
  3. Termination - Cancellation
    Premature termination is possible if the insured person
    • leaves Germany or EU/Schengen states, or returns from the foreign trip, prematurely, or
    • becomes subject to social security contributions in the destination country, or
    • no longer meets a prerequisite for continuation of the policy, e.g. regarding the health insurance coverage, when there is an ending of the further education course.
    The policy can be terminated at the earliest on the date on which Care Concept AG receives the corresponding termination notification in writing. An administration fee of EUR 5.00 will be charged for every refund of premium paid in excess.

Liability claims
In the event of liability claims no acceptance of fault should be indicated to the injured party. Care Concept AG will alone investigate which party is at fault.

Accidents
If the accident should result in death, this fact is to be communicated to Care Concept AG within 48 hours at the latest, even if the accident has already been reported.

Illnesses

If you need outpatient treatment, please present the 'Important information on insurance coverage', which you can download from the customer portal in your contract details page – to the doctor.
In order to save you unnecessary administrative expenses, we pay the benefits listed in the policy in Germany and Austria directly to the doctor, after deducting any applicable deductible. If undergoing inpatient treatment, please arrange that the hospital request a declaration of cost coverage from Care Concept AG via fax at + 49 228 97735-922. Any prescription charges incurred – when you are entitled to them – will be reimbursed to the account specified to us by the policyholder once we have received the corresponding medical invoice(s).
Note: For treatment abroad, please send the invoices you have paid via the Service Portal or the Care Concept InvoiceApp to Care Concept AG. Please also ensure that the doctor makes a note of the diagnosis on the documents. Any reimbursement will then be made to the policyholder’s account provided.

Treatment costs for injuries due to accidents are covered by the health insurance. Long-term disability claims can only be covered, however, by an accident insurance policy. We therefore recommend that you take out accident and liability coverage.


Liability insurance protects you against claims for damages from third parties.
Accident insurance protects you against the financial consequences of a decline in your ability to work due to disability or death following an accident.

In addition to health insurance we offer – in a legally independent policy – personal liability insurance or a personal liability/accident insurance package with the following benefits:
