When a company sends  an employee on a foreign assignment it bears great responsibility towards that employee. The employer must prepare its employee for the assignment as it has the duty of care. This includes offering a decent health insurance package. For this target audience BDAE has designed a high-quality health insurance concept with worldwide eligibility, the comprehensive tariff EXPAT BUSINESS offering additional benefit options.

You will be expatriated by your employer for a few years and you are now looking for a comprehensive health insurance product including cover for pre-existing conditions and also for visits to your home country? BDAE now offers EXPAT BUSINESS, the perfect international health insurance cover for your employment abroad.

Maria's EXPAT BUSINESS health insurance proves invaluable as it covers in-patient treatment, surgery and subsequent physiotherapy sessions. The insurance also provides cover for medical aids required during her recovery process. Thanks to the insurance, Maria can focus on her recovery and rehabilitation without having to worry about the financial burden that could have resulted from the accident.

  • Lukas Weber goes to Tokyo despite diabetes

    Lukas is a 28-year-old German software developer. He works for a multinational IT company and has been seconded to their Tokyo office for a project lasting at least two years.

Thanks to EXPAT BUSINESS international health insurance, Lukas can travel without fear.

    In fact, most pre-existing conditions are covered. BDAE covers his visits to specialists, prescribed medication and the necessary tests to monitor his diabetes. This comprehensive cover allows Lukas to manage his pre-existing condition well and focus on his work in the demanding technological environment of Tokyo.

  • Amir Al-Mansoori needs psychotherapeutic help

    Amir is a 40-year-old mechanical engineer from the United Arab Emirates who works for a German automotive company. He was sent to the company's headquarters in Munich for a two-year project.

    During his stay in Germany, Amir experiences a traumatic event that requires ongoing psychotherapy sessions due to the emotional stress it has caused. Amir is relieved to discover that his EXPAT BUSINESS health insurance covers psychotherapy at 80 per cent of the cost up to certain limits. This cover ensures that Amir receives the necessary medical care and support to deal with his situation. This in turn enables him to perform well in his job despite the challenging situation.

  • Anna Müller has dental problems in Singapore

    Anna is a 32-year-old German marketing manager who works for an international technology company. She has been seconded to the company's Singapore office for a three-year project. One year into her assignment, Anna develops a severe toothache due to an unexpected dental problem. She needs immediate dental treatment, which includes a root canal and a dental crown. Without the right insurance cover, the cost of dental treatment in Singapore is high and would put a strain on her finances. Fortunately, Anna's EXPAT BUSINESS health insurance covers dental treatment, including dentures, up to 80 per cent of the cost. She gets the dental treatment she needs without having to worry about the financial burden. This benefits her overall well-being and ensures that she can continue to concentrate on her professional duties.
