Assistance call deadline
You must contact the Alarmcentrale immediately in case of a claim; failing to do so may reduce your reimbursement. For cancellation/interruption/delay claims, you must notify all travel providers within 72 hours of learning that you must cancel or interrupt your trip; if a later notification lowers your refund, the difference is not compensated.
Unauthorized treatment
Transport/evacuation must be arranged and pre-approved by Allianz Direct. If you or someone on your behalf arranges transport without prior approval, reimbursement is limited to the amount Allianz Direct would have paid had it arranged the transport itself, and Allianz Direct is not responsible for unapproved transport.

Chronic conditions
Damage, a condition or an event that was already known, foreseeable or to be expected by you at the time you took out the insurance is never covered.

Normal pregnancy or delivery without complications is excluded, unless explicitly listed as a covered event under Cancellation or Interruption. Discovering a pregnancy after taking out the policy, or medically confirmed pregnancy complications, can be a covered reason for cancellation or interruption, subject to the applicable tier limit.
Pre-existing condition exclusions
Any damage, condition or event that was already known, foreseeable or expected when you took out the policy is excluded from cover under all parts of the policy.
