Care Austria

Travelers, visitors, guests, language school participants and students who stay in Austria for a specified period of time often need a residency permit. The prerequisite for obtaining this residency permit is having comprehensive health insurance coverage.

The Austrian health insurance plan Care Austria/Care Austria 364 is recognised by all municiple authorities in Austria (for example MA35), as the reimbursement is made analogously to the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (ÖGK) in the event that deviations from the GTCI exist. In some cases, benefits are granted that are not offered through the Austrian Health Insurance Fund, such as treatment by physicians of one’s choice, treatment in private hospitals or professional dental cleanings.

Insurance can be taken out for two different periods of coverage: Care Austria with an unlimited duration of coverage and Care Austria 364 with a maximum period of 364 days.

Care Austria/Care Austria 364 Education and Care Austria/Care Austria 364 Standard

• Care Austria Standard/Care Austria 364 Standard can be purchased for stays by persons between the ages of 0-74.
  
• Care Austria Education/Care Austria 364 Education is intended specifically for students, language school participants and au pairs as well as people who are staying in Austria for (further) education/training purposes, e.g. participants in Working Holiday programs and interns aged 12 to 35. The plan is available at a particularly affordable premium rate: 51 EUR/month for stays of up to 364 days and 56 EUR/month for stays of more than 364 days.

Important benefits

The range of benefits does not differ according to the duration of coverage (Care Austria 364 for up to 364 days or Care Austria, unlimited). The reduced premium for stays due to educational purposes also has no influence on the range of benefits.

The costs are reimbursed according to the currently valid official schedule of fees for doctors and dentists in Austria. (scale of fees).
Please refer to the GTCI for a complete list of benefits.

If you stay in Austria for a maximum of 364 days, you can apply for particularly affordable Care Austria 364 coverage. For stays of 365 days or more, Care Austria is the first choice. If you cannot reliably rule out the possibility that you may stay in Austria for longer than 364 days, we strongly recommend that you take out the unlimited option, as this means that you do not need to undergo a new health review. When you leave Austria, you can terminate your policy earlier than planned.
We will reimburse you for any possible premiums paid in excess.
Furthermore, you can take out Care Austria/Care Austria 364 policy for two different target groups:

• Care Austria Education/Care Austria 364 Education for the target group of students, language school participants (language students), au pairs and further education travelers between the ages of 12 and 35
• Care Austria Standard/Care Austria 364 Standard for all travelers from 0 to 74 years of age

The premiums for Care Austria Education/Care Austria 364 Education are particularly low. The premium for Care Austria Standard/Care Austria 364 Standard varies according to the age of the insured persons.

Payment to Care Concept AG is deemed made if a pre-authorised payment mandate is issued when the insurance contract is completed and the account number stated contains sufficient funds when the debit note is presented.

4. Duration of coverage and waiting periods
   The insurance policy must be taken out for the full duration of the stay. It begins and ends on the dates stated in the insurance certificate.
   It must be purchased within one year of entering Austria or before commencement of the stay in Austria. The health insurance coverage offered in Care Austria 364 ends after 364 days at the latest whereas Care Austria is taken out for an indefinite period of time.
   If your entry into the country dates back more than one year, you can also take out Care Austria; this is only an option, however, if you have had prior insurance coverage directly leading up to your Care Austria coverage. In Austria, waiting periods apply analogously to the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (ÖGK), otherwise as stipulated in the terms and conditions.
5. Renewal (follow-on policy)
   If you choose Care Austria (unlimited), your insurance is valid for an indefinite period and does not need to be extended.

The insurer must explicitly approve it. In the case of extensions, only insured events that arise after applying for an extension are covered. It is therefore advisable to choose longer periods of coverage from the outset or to take out (unlimited) Care Austria coverage directly. Any follow-on policy must start immediately at the end of the previous policy.

   The policy can be terminated at the earliest on the date on which Care Concept AG in text form receives the corresponding notification. An administration fee of EUR 5.00 will be charged on every refund of premium paid in excess.
