Additional cover: overseas travel insurance
The best possible protection during overseas travel at especially affordable rates
Considering health insurance for your overseas travel? Then you may find the following information helpful. The benefits of statutory health insurance are limited to European countries and do not offer global cover. SBK is therefore not permitted to reimburse any costs you may incur here, or is only able to cover your costs to a limited extent, depending on the country. SBK is not generally permitted to cover the cost of medical transfers back to Germany, for example.
That’s why we recommend taking out additional cover BEFORE departing on your journey: overseas travel health insurance, like the RD tariff for families and for singles from ERGO Direkt, a tariff that has been lauded by Finanztestconsumer magazine. This way you can enjoy worldwide insurance cover when abroad.
