By when do I have to take out international health insurance?
At any time before your stay abroad

You can apply for follow-up insurance policy before the end of the agreed expiry date. However, it is a prerequisite that the total insurance period does not exceed 364 days. Example: You have taken out a policy for 8 months – so an extension for a maximum of another 4 months is possible. Please contact our customer service directly at: service@hansemerkur.at

Yes, by notifying us
If you end your stay abroad prematurely, you can also terminate your contract earlier. To do this, send us written notification within 31 days of your departure date. The contract ends upon receipt of your notification by us.

Did you know? Facts about international health insurance for young people
Why take it out?
Customise your protection
Why is international health insurance useful for young people?
Whether it involves basic private care or an all-round carefree package – with our international health insurance for young people, you are protected for up to 364 days when travelling. 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 more expensive than in Austria, you can quickly incur high costs, especially for inpatient stays. Save your travel funds and book our robust Young Travel health insurance from HanseMerkur.
Customise your insurance cover
Whether it's a wave of flu on campus, a fall on a trekking tour or an accident with a rental car – our international health insurance for young people under 39 protects you from high costs in the event of a sudden illness. Put together your own individual insurance solution just the way you want it. Choose your international health insurance with basic benefits such as medical treatment and transport ("Carefree" plan) or including travel liability and accident insurance ("Premium" plan).
