- From official FGH 01/2026 monthly premium table (issued by the insurer, retrieved via distribution partner reisepolice.com): age band 30-34, Essential plan, Pricing Zone 5 (Eastern Europe, e.g. Poland, Georgia, Croatia), 1,000 EUR deductible = 80 EUR/month; same age with 0 deductible = 150 EUR/month. Zone 4 (most of Western Europe, Australia, India, Indonesia, UAE etc.) Essential 30-34 = 119-189 EUR/month; Zone 1 (USA) Essential 30-34 = 451-548 EUR/month. Premiums are set per destination zone, age band and deductible (0/250/500/1000 EUR). Contract has a 12-month minimum duration with tacit annual renewal; premium can be paid monthly, quarterly or annually (insurer FAQ). Premium moves to the new age band after each birthday.
- Maximum age
- No cap stated
- Coverage maximum
- No overall annual or lifetime benefit limit: insurer FAQ states cover is unlimited with no annual cap for all plans, and the plan comparison page lists inpatient treatment (accommodation, surgery, drugs, hospital charges) as unlimited in all three plans. Sub-limits apply to specific benefits: maternity (not covered in Essential; 5,000 EUR Special; 20,000 EUR Exclusive), congenital conditions (100,000-200,000 EUR lifetime by plan), outpatient psychiatric care (1,000-10,000 EUR), major dental (about 2,000-5,000 EUR, Special/Exclusive only). Two region options: Region 1 worldwide, Region 2 worldwide excluding the USA (Region 2 policies cover only emergencies/accidents/death during trips of max six weeks outside Region 2). US permanent residents are not insurable. Note: insurer is rebranding to "Global Health" with new 5-level "Journey" plans launching 2026 (globalhealth.insurance); Essential/Special/Exclusive were still sold with 01/2026 premium tables at verification.
- Home-country visits
- Covered
- Schengen 30k compliant
- No / unclear
Strengths
- No overall annual or lifetime limit on core medical cover in all three plans; unlimited inpatient benefits confirmed on the official plan comparison
- Insurer FAQ explicitly confirms cover in the home country as well as the country of expatriation; worldwide or worldwide-ex-USA regions
- Luxembourg-regulated insurer (Foyer Group); 24/7 medical assistance, evacuation, teleconsultation and second medical opinion included in all plans
- Four deductible levels (0/250/500/1000 EUR) and monthly, quarterly or annual premium payment
Limitations
- 12-month minimum contract with tacit annual renewal; insurer requires a stay abroad of at least 3 consecutive months and a foreseeable return home, so unsuitable for short trips
- US permanent residents cannot be insured, and the policy terminates on permanent return to the home country
- Premiums are age-banded and zone-based: the same Essential plan for a 30-34 year old ranges from 80 EUR/month (Zone 5, 1,000 EUR deductible) to 548 EUR/month (USA, no deductible)
- Essential plan has no maternity cover and emergency-only dental; maternity, congenital, psychiatric and dental benefits carry sub-limits in all plans
Visas this plan qualifies for
- Croatia DN International full health insurance with unlimited cover on a 12-month contract with tacit annual renewal spans the 18-month stay, and its 3-month-minimum-stay-abroad design fits an 18-month Croatian relocation.
- Greece DNV Unlimited international full health insurance with a 12-month minimum contract and tacit annual renewal matches both the accepted 'international_health' type and the full 12-month visa period, fitting the residence-stage full-sickness-insurance condition.
- Indonesia E33G optional Unlimited inpatient cover with a 12-month minimum contract and a required stay abroad of at least 3 consecutive months aligns exactly with the visa's 12-month initial duration.
- Italy DNV Unlimited inpatient cover with a 12-month minimum contract for stays abroad of 3+ months clearly exceeds the EUR 30,000 floor and matches the accepted international-health type, but the facts show no Schengen compliance statement (flag false) and no documented medical-repatriation benefit as required by the NY/LA consulates.
- Japan DN Unlimited inpatient cover with no annual cap on all plans trivially exceeds the EUR 53,999 minimum on an accepted international-health product, but the facts do not mention death/repatriation-of-remains cover and the 12-month minimum contract forces over-buying for a 6-month visa stay.
- Mexico RT optional Unlimited full international health insurance with a 12-month minimum contract and a 3-month minimum stay abroad aligns exactly with a 12-month Mexico residence, and Region 2 (worldwide excl. USA) includes Mexico from 80 EUR/month.
- Spain DNV Full international private health insurance from an EU (Luxembourg) insurer with unlimited overall coverage and no annual cap on all plans plus a zero-deductible option and 12-month renewable contracts, matching the 'SNS-equivalent, no coverage limit' standard; however, DGSFP authorization in Spain and absence of waiting periods are not confirmed in the researched facts, and benefit sub-limits (psychiatric, maternity, dental) may be scrutinized against the 'no deficiency' rule.
- United Arab Emirates VWP Unlimited international full health cover with a 12-month minimum contract and tacit annual renewal matches the UAE requirement of health insurance valid for at least one year of residency.
