Coronavirus-FAQ Travel insurance

Questions and Answers

Is there a deadline for taking out international health insurance?

Any time before departure

You can take out international health insurance at any time before you start your trip. Insurance cover begins at the earliest as soon as you pay the premium and ends on the agreed expiry date. 

What is the maximum time I can travel?

Up to 364 days

With our international health insurance for one trip, you can travel for a maximum of 364 days. If you would like to insure yourself on several trips within one year, we recommend our annual international health insurance.

When does my health insurance expire?

At your agreed expiry date

Our international health insurance for a trip ends automatically on the agreed expiry date. If you take out an annual insurance policy, it is automatically extended for a further year without any action on your part. 

Can I terminate international health insurance prematurely?

Yes, in the event of travel curtailment

If you end your trip earlier than planned, you can terminate your contract early. To do so, send us written notification within 31 days of the date of departure. Your contract ends when we receive the notice.

What do I do if I fall ill abroad?

Information for emergencies

If you need medical treatment during your stay abroad and have to go to hospital, for example, you are well protected with annual travel protection. You can reach our 24-hour emergency call service around the clock by calling +43-1-3152444. After the underlying event for a claim has occurred, fill out the travel health insurance claim form and return it to us as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can also report your claim online using our online claim form. If we require further documents than those requested in the form, we will contact you.

What does international health insurance cover ensure in the event of COVID-19?

Medical treatment costs including a COVID test

If the insured person falls ill with COVID-19 during the trip, HanseMerkur will cover all medical treatment costs including a COVID test carried out on the basis of clear symptoms.

Items not insured include:

  • The cost of a quarantine
  • Costs incurred on the basis of the mere presumption of COVID disease (test negative)
  • Cost of a COVID test to meet entry requirements
  • Costs if there was already a travel warning level 5 or 6 before departure

Did you know? Facts about international health insurance

Why take it out?

International health insurance: Why have it?

Are you working abroad for a few months, completing a semester abroad or planning a longer holiday? With international health insurance, you are covered for up to 364 days against treatment costs in the event of illness. It is particularly advisable to have travel health insurance outside the EU, as doctors and hospitals usually do not accept the Austrian e-card. As treatment costs abroad are often much higher than in Austria, you can quickly incur high costs, especially for inpatient stays. Save your travel funds and book our robust international health insurance from HanseMerkur.

Benefits

What benefits are included?

Our international health insurance reimburses outpatient and inpatient medical costs for stays of up to one year. This also includes dental treatment, urgent operations and ambulance transport. If you have to return home early, we will refund the partial premium for the unused days. For even more comprehensive protection, we recommend our Premium plan with additionally insured events and higher reimbursement sums. Alternatively, you can book optional liability, accident and travel assistance.

Our savings tip

Our savings tip

Do you travel several times a year and not longer than 62 days? Then we recommend our annual international health insurance for worldwide travel destinations – it is often worth taking out for as few as 2 trips per year. If you would like to be even more comprehensively protected, we advise you to take out our annual travel protection including return travel insurance, delay protection and liability insurance.
