- Maximum age
- 74
- Coverage maximum
- No overall maximum indemnity is stated on the official product pages or FAQ; medically necessary outpatient, inpatient and dental treatment plus medical repatriation are covered subject to per-benefit sub-limits (e.g. psychotherapy EUR 500/1,000/1,500 per year by tier; Basic dental treatment capped at EUR 600/year; repatriation of remains up to EUR 25,000). Care College page states coverage exceeds EUR 30,000 ("Von den Behoerden anerkannt, mehr als 30.000 EUR Deckung"). Exact aggregate caps, if any, are defined only in the AVB policy conditions (not fully reviewed).
- Home-country visits
- Covered
- Schengen 30k compliant
- Yes
Strengths
- Contract terms from 3 months up to 5 years; max entry age 74 (Care Expatriate); Germans/Austrians abroad can re-extend repeatedly until their 74th birthday
- Home-country visits insured: 30 (Basic) / 45 (Comfort) / 90 (Premium) days per insurance year
- Official insurer FAQ states products generally meet Schengen visa requirements; instant online confirmation issued at booking and products are recognized by German authorities (>EUR 30,000 coverage)
- Cheaper student line Care College (language students/students, entry age up to 40) from EUR 27.50/month (under 30) or EUR 33.50/month (30+)
Limitations
- Travel-medical style product with per-benefit sub-limits, not a full private health insurance (e.g. Basic tier: no dental prosthetics, dental treatment capped at EUR 600/year, no preventive check-ups)
- Annual deductible on cheapest tariffs (EUR 150 Care Expatriate Basic; EUR 120 Care College Basic); zero deductible only available in the Premium tier (Expatriate) or Comfort/Premium (College)
- USA/Canada/Mexico coverage costs roughly 2.5x more (Expatriate Basic from EUR 145/month) and is entirely excluded from Care College
- Insurer FAQ flags Switzerland as an exception to visa suitability; premiums jump sharply for entry ages 61-74 (Basic from EUR 246/month)
Visas this plan qualifies for
- Croatia DN Low-cost long-stay travel-medical product marketed as authority-recognized with >EUR 30k cover plausibly covers Croatia for the stay, but the maximum insurable duration and any aggregate caps are defined only in the AVB policy conditions, which were not fully reviewed.
- Greece DNV Long-stay expatriate travel-medical plans (enrollment to age 74) cover outpatient, inpatient and dental treatment for extended stays matching the 'travel' type and 12-month duration, but aggregate caps are defined only in unreviewed AVB conditions and per-benefit sub-limits make residence-stage sufficiency unconfirmed.
- Italy DNV Researched as Schengen-30k compliant with outpatient, inpatient and medical repatriation cover for long stays, but the >EUR 30,000 statement comes from the Care College page and exact aggregate caps for Care Expatriate sit in AVB conditions that were not fully reviewed.
- Mexico RT optional Care Expatriate explicitly offers a Mexico coverage zone (Expatriate Basic from EUR 145/month, roughly 2.5x the base premium) for long-stay expats, making it a workable but pricier voluntary option.
- Portugal D8 Long-stay travel product explicitly covering outpatient, inpatient treatment and medical repatriation, Schengen-30k compliant and marketed as recognized by authorities, directly matching the D8's medical-plus-repatriation travel-insurance wording.
- Thailand DTV optional Care Expatriate is a long-stay expatriate travel-medical product whose non-USA/Canada/Mexico tariffs (implying Thailand is in the standard, cheaper zone) cover outpatient, inpatient, dental and repatriation for voluntary cover during the stay.
- United Arab Emirates VWP Care Expatriate is a long-stay expat medical product (entry ages to 74, monthly terms) that plausibly covers a 12-month UAE stay since no minimum coverage amount is required, but UAE-specific validity and aggregate caps are defined only in the unreviewed AVB conditions.
