Who is eligible for coverage?
Care Austria health insurance is tailored to meet the special needs of foreign nationals in Austria. There are two different plans: - Care Austria with an unlimited duration of coverage as well as additional insurance coverage in the EU and
- Care Austria 364 for stays in Austria up to 364 days
Both plans also offer a particularly affordable premium for stays for educational/training purposes (visiting school students, scholarship holders, doctoral candidates, students, language school participants as well as participants in international projects at universities/colleges, exchange programs and language courses). Care Austria:
- Health insurance for international students in Austria
- Health insurance for international au pairs in Austria
- Health insurance for international visitors in Austria
- Health insurance for international expats in Austria
If you are staying in Austria for the purpose of (further) education/training courses and are between 12 and 35 years old, you will benefit from a particularly affordable premium (Care Austria Education/Care Austria 364 Education). For all other stays, Care Austria Standard/Care Austria 364 Standard offers comprehensive insurance coverage. The maximum age of entry is 74 years old.

Your premium helps
By taking out a Care Austria health insurance policy, you are helping people in need in the Congo. This is because we donate one percent of the total premium income incurred through our Care Austria plan (unlimited) to the Deutsche Institut für ärztliche Mission e.V. (Difäm), which provides chronically ill people in Congo with access to medical care.
