What type of insurance is this?
We offer group daily sickness benefits insurance for long-term stays abroad, which provides benefits in the event of incapacity to work as a result of illness or accident.
What is insured?
- The insurer provides insurance cover against loss of earnings as a result of illness or accidents, insofar as this causes incapacity for work. In the event of an insured event, the insurer shall pay a daily sickness allowance to the contractual extent for the duration of the incapacity to work.
- The insured event is the medically necessary treatment of an insured person due to illness or the consequences of an accident, in the course of which incapacity for work is medically determined. The insured event begins with the medical treatment; it ends when, according to medical findings, there is no longer any incapacity to work and no longer any need for treatment.
- The amount of the daily sickness allowance to be paid is stated in the confirmation of insurance. The daily sickness benefit may only be insured up to the amount of the net income from the professional activity converted to the calendar day.
What is not insured?
No obligation to pay benefits exists, for example, for:
- due to illnesses and accidents caused intentionally, including their consequences, and due to withdrawal measures, including withdrawal cures, with the following exception: benefits will be paid for the first inpatient withdrawal measure if and insofar as the insurer has agreed to pay benefits in writing before the measure begins.
Are there any restrictions on cover?
- Insurance cover is provided for long-term stays abroad of more than 91 days.
- The obligation to pay benefits begins on the first day of incapacity for work plus the agreed waiting period.
- The waiting period applies anew for each incapacity for work.
- The obligation to pay benefits ends with the restoration of the ability to work or with the end of the insurance cover for this insured event.
- The obligation to pay benefits ends at the latest upon expiry of the benefit period of 26 weeks agreed in the tariff. If an illness or consequence of an accident due to incapacity to travel or to be transported requires a stay abroad beyond the maximum duration, insurance cover shall exist for this illness or consequence of an accident until the incapacity to travel or to be transported is restored.
