I recommend Genki because their unlimited home country coverage is a gamechanger. Unlike most insurers that limit you to 180 days, with Genki, you don’t have to cancel your insurance if you need to stay home longer. Given the complex application process, this flexibility is invaluable, and the freedom to be covered for as long as you need is a huge benefit.

Let’s talk about your own requirements and see together if Genki is a fit for you as well, maybe in direct comparison to COVRD.EE.

Contract Properties with Genki

  • Different annual limits in each plan

    Genki offers comprehensive coverage, with the Basic plan providing a maximum annual coverage of €1,000,000, while the Premium plan offers unlimited coverage.

  • Deductibles and Co-Pays

    Available options: 0 € / 500 € / 1,000 € per year

  • Pricing Zones: 1

    Genki keeps it simple with a single pricing zone: worldwide coverage. Your insurance travels with you wherever life takes you. Coverage in the U.S. and Canada is limited to life-threatening emergencies and transport to another country, up to 30 days and €250,000 per year.

  • Coverage Zones: 2

    The coverage zones are synchronized with the pricing zones. For the option excluding the USA and Canada, emergency coverage is provided for trips to these countries, with a combined total of 30 days and €250,000 per insurance year, covering only life-threatening emergencies and transport to another country.

Why Genki?

Genki’s policy stands out for its fair approach, even in the basic option. While maternity care isn't included, it’s reassuring to know that complications and medically necessary termination are still covered. This ensures that, in case of unexpected health issues, you're still protected.

Coverage Features

They currently haven't partnered with a telemedicine provider for direct billing through Genki Native yet, but are working on this. In the meantime, customers can use any telemedicine provider and submit a claim as usual.

Genki covers emergency transport to the nearest suitable hospital by road, air, water, or rail. It also includes transport for outpatient treatments like dialysis, radiation, and chemotherapy. For serious surgeries or long-term recovery, transport to another country is available with prior approval. In the unfortunate event of death, repatriation of mortal remains is also covered, ensuring support for loved ones during difficult times.

Newborns are covered from birth if at least one parent has been insured for at least three months, the newborn stays with the parent on the day of birth, and coverage is requested in writing within two months. There is no waiting period, but coverage cannot exceed that of the insured parent. A birth certificate may be required. Adopted children under 18 are covered under the same conditions, though a risk surcharge of up to 100% may apply if there is a higher medical risk.
