International health insurance

Approved? Then the insurer pays.

With PassportCard, you do not pay approved treatment out of pocket first. Report it before the appointment, the amount is confirmed and the insurer pays through the intended card route.

No paying first. No waiting for reimbursement. Support in German.

This is PassportCard

Less money upfront. Less paperwork.

PassportCard connects health insurance to a direct payment route. Once treatment is approved, the insurer pays through the card — instead of you settling the bill first and claiming it back later.
