Key conditions
Assistance call deadline
The emergency service must be engaged immediately before or upon hospital admission; for repatriation transport and child-care assistance, notifying the emergency service is mandatory in every case to avoid benefit restrictions.
Unauthorized treatment
If the emergency service is not notified in advance of repatriation or child-care assistance, reimbursement is limited to the amount that would have applied had the service been properly engaged.
Purchase while abroad
The application, including the SEPA direct debit mandate, must reach the insurer before the insured departs from Germany; cover cannot be taken out while already abroad.
Chronic conditions
The policy does not define a separate category for chronic diseases; any illness that was foreseeably going to require treatment during the trip as planned is excluded regardless of whether it is chronic or acute (see pre-existing conditions).
Pregnancy
Unforeseen acute pregnancy complications are covered as an insured event, but treatment is excluded if the complication occurs after completion of the 32nd week of pregnancy, unless the extended stay was necessitated by an earlier insured event.
Pre-existing condition exclusions
No benefits are paid for illnesses that were foreseeably going to require treatment during the trip as planned, unless the trip was undertaken due to the death of the insured's spouse/registered partner or a first-degree relative.
Coverage duration limit
Cover applies to any number of trips taken within one insurance year, provided each trip does not exceed 8 weeks; if a trip lasts longer, benefits are only provided for the first 8 weeks of that trip.
Direct payment
If the emergency service is notified before hospital admission, ALTE OLDENBURGER settles the hospital bill directly with the hospital so the insured does not have to pay upfront; without prior notification, the reimbursement principle applies and the insured must pay first.
Territorial scope
Cover applies to foreign countries; the Federal Republic of Germany itself does not count as abroad.
