Visitor Insurance for Austria

Visitor Insurance for Austrian Visitors to the USA

Austria's GKK health funds and GHIC are both worthless in the USA. A single US hospital stay could cost more than an Austrian's annual salary.

The Coverage Gap

Austria's GKK and GHIC Have Zero Coverage in the USA

Austria's statutory health insurance (GKK โ€” Gebietskrankenkasse) and the European Health Insurance Card (GHIC) provide no coverage in the United States. Austrian visitors to the USA need dedicated visitor insurance from the moment they land.

โš ๏ธ

Austria has no reciprocal healthcare agreement with the USA. GKK and GHIC are completely useless at US hospitals.
