Private (supplementary) insurance abroad
There are numerous providers of supplementary international insurance, international health insurance and special international insurance for students on a semester or internship abroad.
The fees are often very different. It almost always states: outpatient treatment by a doctor, medically prescribed medication, pain-relieving dental treatment, medically prescribed aids following an accident, etc. are covered. However, there are big differences in the small print. We therefore urge you to find out about the benefit limits and exclusions!
