As the only international health insurance provider in Germany, the BDAE Group’s EXPAT INFINITY also offers the possibility of prospective entitlement. In this context, the international health insurance is given a waiting position until the time when it is to be converted into an active insurance coverage. For the term of the waiting period, an initially checked state of health continues to be valid and will not be reviewed again when the insurance is activated.

The prospective entitlement is particularly suited for persons who take a permanent stay abroad into consideration but do not want to subscribe for a lifelong active insurance already from the very beginning.

Examples for Using the Prospective Entitlement

Situations where a prospective entitlement to the benefits of the foreign health insurance EXPAT INFINITY represents a reasonable and forward-thinking solution are numerous. Here are some possible scenarios:

The prospective entitlement offers a safeguard until the time when you finally decide to live abroad permanently.

After the end of service for his or her company, an expatriate wants to extend the stay abroad for private reasons or even stay in the new home country forever.

The prospective entitlement enables him or her to obtain coverage - without the necessity of a new health checkup - on the basis of the state of health that existed at the time when the prospective entitlement was subscribed for.

The initially checked state of health remains valid until the time of the activation of the insurance

A self-employed person sets up his or her business abroad and has concluded a fixed-term basic insurance for the initial period. The business is going well so that the person can decide to stay abroad in the long run.

After the end of the term of the basic insurance, the prospective entitlement may be converted into EXPAT INFINITY where the coverage period is not subject to any limitation. The amount of the insurance premium depends upon the state of health that existed at the time when the prospective entitlement was subscribed for.

In the event of a temporary return to Germany, the foreign health insurance may be temporarily suspended via the prospective entitlement

A person living abroad and covered by EXPAT INFINITY wants to come back to Germany for some time. After his or her return, the person wants to continue to maintain his or her foreign health insurance under the same terms and conditions.

The prospective entitlement to Expat Infinity offers the possibility to “take a break”. Thus, the person pays the lower amounts, rather than the premiums of EXPAT INFINITY, during his or her stay and Germany. When reviving Expat Infinity, no new health checkup will be necessary.
