Stay healthy in Germany with global health cover from Cigna

As Europe’s economic powerhouse, Germany continues to attract highly qualified expats who look for an exceptional standard of living and international experience in its innovative high-tech industries.

Whether you’re planning to move to Germany or are already living there, as an international living abroad, it’s essential to ensure that your healthcare needs are met now and in the future - wherever you decide to go. That’s why Cigna Global has designed its international health insurance plans with flexibility in mind. 

Cigna Global meets your healthcare needs around the globe 

Germany’s excellent healthcare system 

As a global leader in medical research, Germany offers expatriates excellent healthcare facilities - both public and private institutions have the highest standards of care. Medical professionals are well educated and many of them will be able to speak English. 

It is mandatory for all residents in Germany to have health insurance, including expats with a residence permit, even if you’re only in the country temporarily. 

There are two types of health insurance in Germany: public health insurance and private health insurance. However, expats may find that they only qualify for public health insurance if they are employed by a German company, and if they move around a lot, this is not the most flexible option. 

Not everyone is eligible to take out private health insurance in Germany, but those who are might choose it because it can come with additional benefits, such as access to a broader range of services, and a predictable monthly bill to help minimise the anxiety of unforeseen expenses. Some privately-insured expats choose an international health insurance plan, because it gives them more flexibility and can be retained as they move from place to place.
