The BDAE Group is one of the biggest and best providers of health security solutions for globetrotters in the world, which covers a whole host of important aspects that travellers will definitely want to keep in mind. With the company expanding to provide its services to more wayfarers, a brief look at some of the best things of the insurance entity would help potential clients get a better understanding of what they can expect.
Here are 3 of the best things about BDAE that travellers, globetrotters, tourists, and expats should know about.
The coverage that BDAE offers applies to clients on a global scale. With a few exceptions depending on the plans chosen, clients of the company can expect to be covered based on the terms that they paid for within the time that they paid for. This means that anyone from Germany moving to other countries for work or an extended stay can feel at ease knowing that they’re protected.
The same goes for foreigners coming to Germany for work or school. This particular detail is really important for travellers and expats simply because insurance plans can be confusing when moving from other places to Germany and vice versa. BDAE basically streamlines the details so that clients have a clear understanding of how much protection they get in the places that they go to.
BDAE provides several flexible plans that are intended to cover a huge variety of needs for the concerned traveller. This is important to take note of because you want to make sure that you are getting the most out of what you’re paying for and aren’t paying for something that you won’t likely even need.
That’s why the insurance provider neatly categorizes its plans to suit what specific types of clients are most likely going to need based on what their purposes are for traveling. The broadest categories that are available for clients to browse through are divided into the Private Clients and Business Clients sections. From there, they can choose their plans based on whether they’re traveling for work, a visit, a brief stay, or for retirement.
There’s also the matter of how long the coverage is going to be for. BDAE offers health insurance protection for as short as one year, for example, which is perfect for those who are just going abroad for a few months. Then there are the plans that cover clients for longer than five years, which applies to retirees living in Germany or abroad.
As already mentioned, the flexible plans being offered by BDAE cover a whole host of client types. However, it’s really worth looking into those in more detail to see under which category you fall into. Retirees are already mentioned, but it’s worth mentioning that this means anyone who is basically already retired.
This includes Germans who want to spend their advanced years in other countries and immigrants who want their countries of origin to be included in their health plan. There are exceptions, of course, and it’s worth checking out the company’s site for more details.
BDAE’s Academic plan covers both students and trainees who are either coming to or are going out of Germany. Naturally, the financial capacity of such clients is going to be a bit on the deficient side, which the provider takes into consideration. As a result, its Academic plans are tailored to meet the budgetary conditions of these types of clients.
Then there are the resident types of clients, who will be living in Germany or abroad for a certain amount of time. BDAE actually has more plans to offer these types of clients, tailoring the premiums and coverage based on the unique, individual needs of each client.
