Germany Medical Insurance News

Germany has a reputation for being able to provide extremely comprehensive and high quality treatment options for patients throughout the country. However, one of the main concerns for newly arrived expatriates in Germany is the cost of healthcare in the nation. Health insurance in Germany is mandatory under law, and with the exception of self employed individuals and civil servants, almost all German nationals are expected to join one of the mandatory health insurance schemes. Foreign nationals who are planning to move to Germany or stay there longer than 6 months are also required to carry insurance, making Germany expat health insurance an appealing option. Rather than providing a ‘Universal' or ‘Social' medical network this mandatory health insurance ensures that all Germans can receive the high quality healthcare that they deserve (at a much lower cost).

What type of geographical coverage do you offer in your plans?
Most of the plans we offer fall into two cetogories of geographical coverage: Worldwide and Worldwide excluding the USA. The Worldwide plans tend to around 50% more expensive than the excluding USA plans, and this is because of the expensive costs for treatments and medicines in the USA. There are also some plans the will offer Worldwide excluding North America (USA and Canada) although these are becoming less common. 2011-03-24 17:05:48
