The Coverage Gap

German Krankenversicherung Doesn't Work in the USA

Germany's world-class public health system (GKV) provides excellent coverage across the EU and in countries with social security agreements โ€” but the USA is not one of them. Private health insurers (PKV) may offer some international coverage, but it is typically limited and may not cover the true cost of US emergency care.

โš ๏ธ

The USA has no social security agreement with Germany covering healthcare โ€” German GKV has zero coverage for US medical treatment.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my German Krankenversicherung cover emergencies in the USA?
No. German statutory health insurance (GKV) covers you within the EU and countries with bilateral agreements, but not in the USA. Private health insurers (PKV) may offer limited international coverage, but it often doesn't cover the full cost of US emergency care.
Do Germans need a visa to visit the USA?
German citizens can enter the USA without a visa for up to 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program (ESTA). An approved ESTA is required before travel.
Can I buy a plan for my parents visiting me in the USA?
Yes โ€” you can purchase a plan on behalf of your parents or other family members. Simply enter their details (age, travel dates) in the quote tool and purchase online. The policy documents will be emailed directly.
What is the minimum coverage I should get?
For visits to the USA, we recommend a minimum of $100,000 in medical coverage. US healthcare costs are among the highest in the world, and even a short hospitalization can exceed $50,000.
How do I file a claim if I need medical care?
Call the 24/7 assistance number on your insurance ID card before seeking treatment when possible. For emergencies, go directly to care โ€” your insurer can sort out billing afterward. All major insurers we work with have direct billing relationships with US hospitals.
