Coverage limits
Medical treatment expenses abroad
Covered
100% reimbursement of costs for medically necessary outpatient and inpatient treatment abroad (doctor's fees, medication, hospital accommodation and meals); no monetary cap stated. Legacy tariff R77 applies a one-off €50 deductible per insured person for the whole contract term; current tariffs (Allianz Reise-Krankenschutz / Jahres-Reise-Krankenschutz) and legacy R32/R33 are offered without deductible.
Emergency ambulatory medical treatment
Covered
100% reimbursement of fees for ambulatory doctor consultations, examinations and outpatient procedures needed due to illness or accident during the trip; free choice of any doctor licensed in the country of stay.
Inpatient hospital treatment
Covered
100% reimbursement of hospital charges including nursing, accommodation and meals, plus accompanying-person accommodation if the insured is under 18; an alternative hospital daily allowance of €30/day applies instead of reimbursement for treatment within Germany or where the policy uses a cash-benefit basis.
Outpatient treatment, medication and aids
Covered
100% reimbursement for prescribed medication, bandages, physiotherapy-type remedial treatments (inhalations, physiotherapy, massage, hydrotherapy, electro/light therapy) and medical aids, excluding sight aids and hearing aids.
Emergency dental treatment
Covered
100% reimbursement for pain-relieving dental treatment, simple fillings, provisional dentures, and repairs of inlays, dentures, crowns and bridges. Definitive dentures, implants, crowns/bridges (new fabrication), gnathology and orthodontic treatment are explicitly excluded.
Local medical transport
Covered
100% reimbursement of medically necessary transport to the nearest suitable doctor/hospital for initial treatment, onward transfer for further treatment, and return transport to accommodation immediately after treatment.
Repatriation transport
Covered
100% reimbursement of a medically sensible and reasonable repatriation transport (including air ambulance) to the permanent residence held before the trip, or to the nearest suitable hospital there, including the cost of an accompanying person; the cheapest suitable means of transport must be chosen unless medical grounds prevent it.
Repatriation of remains / burial abroad
Covered
100% reimbursement, without cap, of the costs of repatriating the deceased to the permanent residence held before the trip; if burial takes place abroad, costs directly related to the burial are reimbursed up to €10,000.
Search, rescue and recovery costs
€15K
Current-generation tariffs (Allianz Reise-Krankenschutz / Jahres-Reise-Krankenschutz) cover search, rescue and recovery costs up to €15,000 per claim; this benefit was introduced after the legacy R32/R33/R77 tariffs, which do not include a separate search-and-rescue benefit of this kind.
COVID-19 treatment
Covered
No limit stated
COVID-19 is not a separate benefit; it is treated like any other illness under the general 100% medical-expenses cover for illness abroad.
Pre-existing conditions
Excluded
No benefit is paid for treatments that were the sole or a contributing reason for undertaking the trip, or for treatments that were already foreseeable at departure because of a condition diagnosed beforehand and required as scheduled during the trip; exception if the trip was undertaken due to the death of a spouse/partner or first-degree relative.
Winter sports cover
Covered
No limit stated
No specific winter sports exclusion or add-on is set out; treatment following a winter-sports accident falls under the general accident/illness cover.
Adventure sports cover
Covered
No limit stated
No separate adventure-sports exclusion; treatment after an accident falls under the general medical cover.
Section: WAS IST VERSICHERT? > Sport & Aktiv-Versicherung
Sport & Aktiv-Versicherung Erstattung der nicht erstattungsfähigen Kosten, die Sie für die Aktivitäten bezahlt haben, abzüglich verfügbarer Erstattungen für versäumte Aktivitäten aufgrund von versicherten Ereignissen. Erstattung bei Beschädigung, Verlust oder Diebstahl Ihrer Sportausrüstung sowie Erstattung der angemessenen Kosten für die Anmietung einer Ersatzsportausrüstung während Ihrer Reise.
Pregnancy complications
Covered
Medically necessary examinations and treatment for pregnancy complications, examinations, treatment and delivery due to premature or miscarriage, and medically necessary termination of pregnancy are all treated as insured events under the 100% medical-expenses benefit.
Personal liability
Excluded
Personal/travel liability is not part of the travel health insurance product; it is only offered as a separate module within Allianz's multi-peril travel packages, which are a different (non travel_medical) product.
Legal assistance
Excluded
Legal assistance is not a benefit of this travel health insurance; the policy covers medical treatment, transport and related assistance services only.
24/7 emergency assistance
Covered
24-hour telephone service on 365 days, naming of clinics abroad, interpreter service in all major world languages, contact between treating and home doctors, informing relatives, cost-guarantee and direct billing with hospitals up to €10,000, dispatch of medication/blood supplies, and organization of repatriation or burial abroad.
Key conditions
Assistance call deadline
No fixed hourly deadline applies; the 24-hour hotline should be contacted before or during inpatient treatment so the cashless cost-guarantee/direct-billing arrangement (up to €10,000) can be organized; delayed notification can be treated as a breach of duty.
Unauthorized treatment
If a contractual duty (Obliegenheit) is breached intentionally, Allianz is not liable to pay; if breached through gross negligence, the benefit can be reduced in proportion to the degree of fault, up to total loss of the claim, unless the policyholder proves the breach had no effect on the occurrence or scope of the claim.
Purchase while abroad
The contract must be concluded before departure and for the full trip duration; it cannot be taken out once the trip has begun. Current tariffs do, however, allow last-minute purchase up to the day of departure.
Chronic conditions
Chronic conditions are not named as a separate category, but the general pre-existing-condition exclusion applies: treatment for a condition already diagnosed before departure and foreseeably required during the trip is excluded.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy complications, treatment and delivery due to premature birth or miscarriage, and medically necessary termination of pregnancy are treated as insured events and reimbursed under the standard medical-expenses benefit.
Pre-existing condition exclusions
No benefit is paid for treatment that was the reason for the trip, or that was already foreseeable/scheduled at departure due to a pre-existing diagnosed condition, unless the trip was undertaken because of the death of a spouse/partner or first-degree relative.
Coverage duration limit
Annual tariffs (R32, R33 and the current Allianz Jahres-Reise-Krankenschutz) cover each individual trip up to 56 days (8 weeks); single-trip tariffs (R77 and the current Allianz Reise-Krankenschutz) allow a selectable contract duration of between 5 and 365 days.
Direct payment
Allianz provides a cashless cost-guarantee and direct billing arrangement with hospitals and treating physicians up to €10,000, so no upfront payment is required from the policyholder up to that ceiling; for outpatient treatment and amounts above the guarantee, the policyholder pays first and submits original invoices for 100% reimbursement.
Territorial scope
Covers trips outside Germany and outside the insured person's country of permanent residence; the legacy R77 tariff additionally pays a hospital daily allowance for trips within Germany, and cover ends if the insured relocates their habitual residence abroad.
