Supporting freelancers and self-employed individuals relocating to Germany

A plan suitable for freelancers and the self-employed

Before moving to Berlin, Ms Gobin had always been satisfied with her health insurance in her home country and wanted to find a similar level of coverage when she moved abroad.

As a foreign national living and working in Germany, Ms Gobin needed a health insurance plan approved by the regulator, BaFin, when applying for a visa. APRIL International’s health insurance policy is certified by BaFin and accepted by the immigration authorities, meaning she was able to meet her visa requirements.

“I definitely have access to treatment that’s fast.”

Wide coverage to give you peace of mind

It was also a priority for Ms Gobin to have comprehensive cover to safeguard her medical needs: “I’m a sickly person. I have a lot of underlying health conditions, so I needed something with more coverage.” As part of APRIL international’s health insurance plans, members have fast access to treatment such as cancer cover, maternity care, hospital treatment and specialist consultations.

For Ms Gobin, it’s important that her healthcare needs are protected when she is in different countries: “it’s always a thing when you’re travelling to have that peace of mind that if something were to go wrong, you have that cover.”

Simple and straightforward communication

Ms Gobin explains that she selected an international health insurance plan at a stressful time in a new environment, “I had to find the right health insurance plan in the midst of the pandemic, and I didn’t speak German.” She found it simple and straightforward to become a member of APRIL International: “it was very self-explanatory.”

Being able to communicate easily with her insurer in her native language is also essential for her: “I like that you guys are UK-based, so everything is in English. That was number 1 for me.” To support clients across the globe in challenging circumstances, APRIL International provides 24/7 multi-lingual assistance. This gives members reassurance that their medical needs are protected in case something goes wrong.
