Frequently Asked Questions
Why do so many Germans visit Miami?
Miami is consistently one of the top 3 US destinations for German tourists. The beaches, warm winter weather, Art Deco architecture, and vibrant nightlife make it a natural draw. Many Germans also visit the Florida Keys and the Everglades as part of a Miami-based trip. German is a widely spoken language in South Beach hotels and tour operations.
Does my German Krankenkasse cover me in Miami?
No. German public health insurance (TK, AOK, Barmer, DAK, BKK, and all other Krankenkassen) has no coverage in the United States. Florida has no reciprocal healthcare agreement with Germany. Your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) only works in EU/EEA countries — it is useless in Florida. Without US visitor insurance, you pay full hospital rates.
What does a medical emergency cost in Miami without insurance?
An uninsured ER visit in Miami typically costs $3,000–$8,000. A hospitalization can reach $15,000–$20,000 per night. Medical air evacuation from Florida to Germany — if needed for a serious injury — can cost $80,000–$150,000 without insurance. US visitor insurance covers all of this for as little as $8/week.
Which Miami hospitals treat German tourists?
Baptist Health South Florida and Jackson Memorial Hospital (the largest hospital in the Southeast US) are the main facilities. Mount Sinai Medical Center on Miami Beach is close to South Beach and Bal Harbour. All accept visitor insurance from WorldTrips, IMG, and Trawick International.
Can I buy US travel insurance from Germany before my flight?
Yes. All plans can be purchased online from Germany or anywhere in the world. Coverage begins on the start date you choose — ideally the day you arrive in the US. After purchase, you receive a digital ID card by email immediately. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
