The geographic scope of the Care Cash plan also covers so-called “crisis regions,” but with the following limitation: the insurance provider is under no obligation to provide coverage for any illnesses and their consequences, and for the consequences of accidents or deaths, which are directly or indirectly caused by events of war or civil war, riot, civil uprisings and unrest, terrorism or other hostilities, even without a declaration of war. However, insurance coverage exists if the insured person is unexpectedly affected by one of these events during his/her stay abroad. This insurance coverage shall expire seven days after the Federal Foreign Office has issued a travel warning for the territory of the state in which the insured person is staying (war region).

• if the conditions for the stay abroad are no longer fulfilled
• at the end of the stay abroad
• with the end of the foreign health insurance coverage
