How does the health insurance work?

How does the health insurance work?

This health insurance is ideal for college students, school children and exchange students who don't bring insurance coverage with them from their home country. In case of illness, the insurance covers all necessary interventions including treatment by doctors and dentists, hospital visits, medications and, if necessary, transportation costs to the nearest hospital (except deductibles).

In Germany and Austria you will receive a bill from the doctor or hospital for your treatment that must either be paid immediately in cash or settled with an electronic funds transfer. It is possible the bill may not be ready until after your departure, in which case you will receive it via email. Copies of billing documents can be forwarded to the health insurance company for reimbursement.

Why is it a good idea to have accident and liability insurance?

Why is it a good idea to have accident and liability insurance?

Liability insurance protects you against damage compensation claims from third parties. Should you, for example, accidently inflict damages upon another, liability insurance will cover you. Should you cause damage to a moveable object (i.e., furnishings in your residence), this insurance will cover you up to €1000 per incident. You are only responsible for the  €125 deductible.

Accident insurance protects against, for example, the financial repercussions resulting from a reduction in your ability to work due to disability or death after an accident.
