Who can take out long-term health insurance abroad?

Insurance for stays abroad offers protection in the event that you fall ill abroad. Most international health insurance policies are only valid for a maximum of 60 days; if you want to travel for longer, you need long-term international health insurance.

In principle, anyone can take out this insurance, regardless of whether they are

  • Temporary expatriates    
  • Digital nomads
  • employees who are sent abroad
  • Senior citizens (up to the age of 75) *
  • long-term world travelers
  • or students abroad

It is important to test and compare different tariffs in order to find the best insurance cover for your individual needs. You should pay attention to benefits such as repatriation, inpatient treatment and visits to the doctor abroad in order to be comprehensively insured in the event of illness. A carefully selected long-term international health insurance policy offers the necessary protection and security to be able to enjoy a carefree stay in another country.

* Also available for over 75s:  Long-term international health insurance for up to 1 year.

Why does it make sense to purchase travel insurance through an insurance broker?

An insurance broker not only offers expertise and advice on choosing suitable travel insurance, but also supports you in the event of a claim. This is particularly important when it comes to health insurance abroad, as different conditions often apply here than with regular insurance. The broker always works in the interests of the customer and not the insurance company. This support usually takes place over a longer period of time, often even beyond the year.

In this way, tailor-made solutions can be offered that cover your specific travel needs, regardless of whether you are only traveling for a few days or several months. By working with different insurance companies, the broker can offer a wide range of options and recommend the best possible travel insurance for you.

You will find more detailed information on the costs of travel health insurance abroad in the insurance conditions.

Why travel health insurance makes sense:

On the road in Asia with a scooter

Riding a scooter in Asia is very popular. However, it often comes with certain challenges. Opaque traffic rules, poor road conditions and the scooter has usually seen better days! These factors increase the risk of a road accident. The high temperatures also mean that you don't wear thick clothes. In the event of a fall, this can quickly lead to abrasions or worse. To avoid the dangers of infection, or to treat worse injuries, it is advisable to see a doctor. With international health insurance, you will not incur any unexpected costs, as medical outpatient treatment, including X-ray diagnosis, is included in the insurance benefits.

Hiking abroad

Hiking is one of the most popular travel activities. Be it an easy hike to a vantage point or a challenging tracking trail into nature or the mountains. What they all have in common is that they take you into unknown territory. No matter how well you inform yourself in advance, the paths are not always signposted as you know them in Germany (or in a language you can't read). The same applies to securing the paths, especially in remote areas, maintenance is often neglected. Due to the unfamiliar environment and the increased concentration required, the probability of an accident increases. If this undesirable case should occur, it can become quite problematic. There may be a doctor in the next village, but the necessary tools for treatment are in the hospital far away. Transport can be immensely costly, so it makes sense to take out an overseas health insurance policy that covers the cost of ambulance transport for in-patient treatment to the nearest suitable hospital and back to your accommodation.

Unexpected dental visit

A topic that is thought about far too rarely, but happens more often than one thinks. Tempting scents or recommended delicacies typical of a country make you try dishes that you sometimes didn't even know existed. So how do you know how to eat it or what you can eat from it? If you bite into something hard, a filling can come off. Some fruits are also so acidic that after eating them, the gums hurt. We all know how expensive dental visits can be. To avoid having to pay for them, play it safe and take out travel health insurance.
