Insurance coverage has always to be taken out for the entire stay abroad. In case you don't know the end date of your trip, you enroll for the maximum travel period. Depending on your insurance option, the maximum insurance period is 24 months, first. Please be aware that a renewal cannot be guaranteed. In case you return home earlier, you may request a reimbursement, details are shown below (see "insurance changes").
You may pay the total amount for your travel insurance by credit card or Paypal or you choose direct debit from a bank account based in Germany (either monthly or total amount). CareMed will automatically charge the insurance premiums immediately upon payment.
(A wire transfer of the total amount is also possible, however, this option is not available online. In this case you send the completed and signed application form by e-mail. Bear in mind that you will receive your confirmation the following business day after receipt of the total amount on CareMed's bank account.)
Each person will be enrolled individually in accordance with the specific situation and requirements. Therefore insurance plans may differ from each other.
After submission of your first application and payment you may enroll further persons with same travel dates. Basic data will be kept so that you may either adapt or save it prior to insurance application.
Changes/corrections: Your travel period is rescheduled or you would like to adapt insurance coverage? Inform us in written about your changes prior to insurance start and we are pleased to change your insurance accordingly.
Cancelation/early return: All changes are possible prior to insurance start, also your insurance may be cancelled free of charge. If your CareMed insurance has started, you may request an early return for remaining months after a written notification to CareMed (minus an admin fee of €15,00/ US$ 17.00) if no payable claim has been submitted.
Renewal: In case your stay abroad is extended unexpectedly, you log in online to request a renewal of your insurance prior to the date of expiration. Please note that a renewal cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, always take out insurance coverage for the maximum travel period.
