get a quote and apply today
You are already abroad and need health insurance? As you might now, travel insurance shall be taken out prior to the start of travel and for the complete stay abroad. From our experience we know, however, that there are situations in which travel plans unexpectedly change and an international health insurance is needed abroad. Therefore, we are happy to inform you that CareMed offers unique travel insurance which you may take out even though you are already abroad. Please note that pre-existing conditions will be excluded from coverage, of course, and that there is a waiting period in certain cases
In case you are already abroad, please note that pre-existing conditions are excluded from coverage and there is a waiting period of 31 days for illnesses if there is no proof of active insurance coverage. If your previous insurance should end due to the current situation or excludes a pandemic or COVID-19, the insurer will later check on a case-by case basis whether this can be recognized as previous insurance to waive the waiting period.
CareMed offers insurance in the following situations
- You have insurance coverage for your trip from another provider and your travel plans are changing while already traveling abroad. That is why you need protection for the additional time?

Note regarding waiting period
Please note that pre-existing conditions will be excluded with international insurance. Additionally, there will be a waiting period of 31 days for illnesses.

Up until the beginning of the insurance period, a comparable pre-insurance will be credited against the waiting period.
