Emergency dental treatment
€250
Up to 100% of costs for pain-relieving dental treatment, medically necessary simple fillings, and repair of existing dentures to restore chewing ability; provisional dentures are capped at EUR 250. This EUR 250 sub-limit is identical under TRAVEL and TRAVEL+. Dental prostheses and crowns are excluded.
Section: 11.3 Dental treatment
Provisional prostheses up to a maximum of two hundred and fifty euro (EUR 250).
Local medical transport to nearest doctor/hospital

Medically necessary transport to the nearest accessible doctor or hospital by an approved emergency service is covered as part of the outpatient and hospitalisation benefits, within the overall aggregate cap.
Section: 11.1 Outpatient treatment
Transport costs arising from the approved emergency services that are necessary to take the patient/accident victim to the nearest doctor.
Medical evacuation / repatriation of the living insured person
€30K
DKV organises and pays for a medically advisable and justifiable return transport of the insured person, either to their place of residence or to the nearest suitable hospital, including the cost of a medically necessary accompanying person. Under the standalone TRAVEL tariff this benefit is capped, together with the deceased-repatriation costs, at EUR 30,000 per insured person (Art. 11.4). Under TRAVEL+ no separate aggregate cap is stated for this benefit beyond the sub-limits listed under repatriation of remains (Art. 8.6).
Section: 11.4. Rapatriement
Nous organisons et prenons en charge les coûts d’un rapatriement médicalement utile et acceptable de la personne assurée.
Repatriation of mortal remains
Covered
In the event of death, DKV organises and pays for transfer of the mortal remains to the country of residence, covering the undertaker's costs abroad, on-site preservation of the body, and transport of the remains to the place of burial or cremation. The coffin cost is capped at EUR 1,000 under the standalone TRAVEL tariff and EUR 1,500 under TRAVEL+. Under TRAVEL, this benefit shares a combined EUR 30,000 cap with the living-person repatriation benefit; TRAVEL+ states no separate aggregate cap beyond the coffin sub-limit. Other burial/cremation costs in the country of residence are not covered; luggage return costs are also excluded.
Section: 11.5 Repatriation
Coffin, up to a maximum of one thousand euro (EUR 1,000);
Search and rescue costs
€5K
Costs for a search, rescue or salvage operation by recognised rescue services are covered up to EUR 5,000 under the TRAVEL+ general conditions. In the case of a medical emergency on a ski slope, this cover applies only if the insured person was on a marked and open piste at the time. The joint TRAVEL/TRAVEL+ IPID lists this as an included benefit, but the standalone TRAVEL general conditions (Art. 11) do not restate a separate sub-limit for it; it would therefore fall within TRAVEL's overall EUR 30,000 aggregate cap.
Section: 11.4 Additional services
The costs of search and rescue by the approved local rescue services are fully covered by us, up to a maximum of five thousand euro (EUR 5,000) per insured person.

Losses resulting from earthquakes, civil or foreign war, acts of terrorism or sabotage, riots, civil commotion, strikes and lockouts, or any comparable event, as well as epidemics or pandemics;
Pre-existing / known conditions requiring treatment during the trip
Excluded
Treatment for a condition diagnosed before the trip as requiring care during the planned journey (e.g. scheduled dialysis) is excluded, as is treatment where a pre-trip medical diagnosis showed the insured was unfit to travel; medication needed for a pre-existing long-term treatment plan started before departure is not reimbursed.
Section: 12. What benefits are excluded from the cover?
Treatment that was established before departure (on the basis of a medical diagnosis) to be necessary even in the normal course of your trip (for example, dialysis)
Winter sports cover
Conditional
Ordinary accident or illness treatment sustained while skiing is covered as any other insured event. However, cover for search-and-rescue costs following a medical emergency on a ski slope applies only if the insured person was on a marked and open piste at the time of the emergency.
Section: 11.4 Additional services
in the event of an accident on a ski slope, the costs of search, rescue and evacuation by the approved rescue services are only be paid by us if the patient/accident victim was on a marked and open ski slope at the time of the accident.
Adventure sports cover
No limit stated
Not addressed by the provided TRAVEL/TRAVEL+ sources beyond the general exclusion of professional-level competitive sports and accidents during motor-vehicle races.
Pregnancy complications
Conditional
Costs related to a pregnancy, termination, sterilisation, miscarriage or childbirth known to the insured person before departure are excluded. However, acute, unforeseeable pregnancy complications, premature births before the end of the 32nd week of pregnancy, and miscarriages are covered, including necessary treatment of the premature infant.

24/7 assistance service
Covered
DKV's service centre and medical assistance line can be reached around the clock, every day, by phone or e-mail, to obtain information on medical care possibilities at the place of stay, hospital/clinic referrals and transfer options, direct billing arrangements with the hospital abroad, contact with the family physician, and notification of relatives if requested.
Section: 11.4 Additional services
Our customer service team can be contacted 24 hours a day for any questions relating to the insured event;
Key conditions
Assistance call deadline
Any hospital treatment must be reported to DKV within 3 days by phone, e-mail or the customer portal; if DKV is notified later, benefits are only payable from the day it is informed.
Unauthorized treatment
A deliberate breach of a policy obligation (providing required evidence, undergoing a requested medical examination, etc.) releases DKV from its obligation to pay; other breaches may reduce benefits by the amount of loss caused, and breaches due to gross negligence only reduce benefits if they affected the assessment of the claim.
Purchase while abroad
The standalone TRAVEL policy must be concluded, and the premium paid, before crossing the border abroad; no cover is granted for insured events occurring before the contract is concluded, so the policy cannot be bought once already travelling.
Chronic conditions
Treatment for a condition already diagnosed before departure and foreseeably requiring care during the planned trip (e.g. scheduled dialysis) is excluded, unless the trip is undertaken due to the death of a spouse or first-degree relative; medication needed for a pre-existing long-term treatment plan is not reimbursed.
Pregnancy
Costs related to a pregnancy, termination, sterilisation, miscarriage or childbirth known to the insured person before departure are excluded; acute, unforeseeable pregnancy complications, premature births before the end of the 32nd week, and miscarriages remain covered, including necessary treatment of the premature infant.
Pre-existing condition exclusions
Treatments known to be necessary before the trip began, or diagnosed before departure as making the insured unfit to travel, are not covered.
Coverage duration limit
The standalone TRAVEL tariff can be taken out for a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 99 days per trip, with no automatic renewal. The TRAVEL+ benefit bundled with certain DKV health tariffs covers the first 56 days (8 weeks) of a trip, extendable at no extra premium if the insured is medically unfit to be transported at the end of that period.
Direct payment
For outpatient care, the insured pays the invoice locally, claims first from the Luxembourg statutory health insurance, and then sends the remaining invoice copies and the statutory insurer's reimbursement statement to DKV. For hospital (inpatient) stays, DKV settles the reimbursable costs directly with the hospital abroad.
Territorial scope
Covers travel in all countries outside the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and outside the insured person's country of habitual residence; trips undertaken specifically to receive treatment, or stays in Luxembourg or the country of habitual residence, are not covered.
