The German insurance system is one of the most complicated in the world.

Health Insurance in Germany:

„Krankenversicherung“

By law everybody living and working in Germany has to be health-insured by a certified German health insurance provider.
We offer private and public health insurance plans from all known German insurance companies selected for your own needs. There are several important aspects of the German insurance system that have to be considered before taking a decision. The following scenarios will give an impression of which type of health insurance scheme might be suitable:

Employees who live with their families in Germany and have a gross income of less than 57,600 € in 2017:
Only public health insurance (GKV) might be accessible for you, however, the wife/husband and all children living in the same household are co-insured are covered as well without additional contribution. The benefit of public insurance comprises basic medical treatment in Germany and EU countries. The employer contributes around half of the premium. However, the monthly rate varies with income. The higher the earning the higher the premium.

Self-employed expats and employees earning more than 57.600 € gross income in 2017:
Private health insurance covers high quality medical treatments all over the world and allows free choice of specialist doctors, hospitals, physicians and dentists. However, the applicant must be in a good health condition in order to be accepted by the provider. Also for an employee, the company contributes 50% of the premium including a contribution for a spouse. The premiums are mostly much more favorable than public insurance despite much better benefits. The monthly rate does not vary with the income, it depends only on the entry age and benefits chosen.

Please note that the mentioned cases show a window of the complex health insurance field. In any case, it is highly recommendable to consult a professional insurance broker in order to check upfront insurability and to find the best plan among 120 insurance provider companies and more than 700 different tariffs.

Legal Assistance Insurance in Germany:

„Rechtschutzversicherung“

One of the most important insurances in Germany. It helps you with legal consultation and financial support when having a legal dispute.

As in Germany most of the severe legal problems are solved by the court, regardless if there are disagreements with tax authorities, employers, landlords or merchants we strongly recommend to take on legal insurance.  Especially for an expat, living abroad and experiencing totally different traditions and legal systems from home and not understanding the complicated foreign terminologies. The legal insurance covers all costs related to expenses for attorneys and court no matter if you win the case or not. If you are self-employed you will need special coverage for professionals.

Household Insurance in Germany:

„Hausratversicherung“

This insurance protects your belongings in your home against damage or burglary. Household policies cover the risks of damages by fire, storm, or water and by burglary or vandalism.

It includes your complete furniture, clothes, computers and other valuable items that belong to your personal property. For inquiries please contact us for an all risk coverage. The costs for this insurance also depend on the size of your home and if you are self-employed and work in your home using one room as your office. In this case, it is necessary to insure the office equipment separately. We strongly recommend to arrange a personal consultation in order to analyze your individual situation so that we can provide you with the best coverage for your needs.

Disability Insurance in Germany:

„Berufsunfähigkeitsversicherung“

It entitles you to a monthly disability pension if you suffer from a long term sickness or the effects of an accident.

This policy helps to offset the long term high financial losses and burdens which arise due to injuries due to an accident and the extra treatment and home adaptation costs that might arise due to the accident.
