## Geographical Coverage Areas

Allianz offers multiple geographical coverage options to match your travel and residency needs:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Worldwide">
    Coverage valid everywhere in the world without restrictions.

    **Best for**: Frequent global travelers, digital nomads with unpredictable itineraries, or those requiring access to care in high-cost regions like the USA.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Regional Options">
    Coverage limited to specific geographical territories (e.g., Africa, Europe, Asia).

    **Best for**: Expatriates or travelers staying within a defined region, typically offering more cost-effective premiums than worldwide coverage.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Emergency Treatment Outside Area">
    Most plans include emergency treatment outside your coverage area during business or holiday trips.

    **Important limitations**:

    * Limited to a specific number of weeks per trip
    * Only covers emergencies requiring treatment within 24 hours
    * Does not cover routine or follow-up care
    * Excludes maternity or pregnancy-related emergencies

    **Documentation**: Always carry your insurance card and contact the 24/7 helpline immediately in emergencies.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Underwriting Approaches

Allianz employs several underwriting approaches depending on your situation:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Full Medical Underwriting">
    This approach requires a complete medical history disclosure. Allianz evaluates this information to determine:

    * Coverage terms
    * Any applicable exclusions
    * Required waiting periods

    **Best for**: Individuals seeking clarity on exactly what is covered from day one.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Moratorium Underwriting">
    With this simplified approach:

    * Pre-existing conditions may become eligible for coverage after 24 continuous months without symptoms, treatment, medication, or medical advice
    * No initial detailed medical questionnaire
    * Claims related to potential pre-existing conditions in the first 24 months will be reviewed

    **Best for**: Generally healthy individuals seeking a streamlined application process.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="CPME/CTT">
    Continuous Personal Medical Exclusions or Continuous Transfer Terms:

    * For those transferring from another insurer
    * Maintains similar underwriting terms from previous policy
    * Requires documentation of prior coverage

    **Best for**: Those with existing international coverage seeking to switch insurers.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Frequently Asked Questions

<Accordion title="What's the difference between in-patient, day-care, and out-patient treatment?">
  Understanding these distinctions is important for knowing what's covered under your plan:

  * **In-patient treatment**: Care received in a hospital where an overnight stay is medically necessary

  * **Day-care treatment**: Planned treatment received in a hospital or day-care facility during the day that doesn't medically require an overnight stay and where a discharge note is issued

  * **Out-patient treatment**: Care provided in a medical practitioner's office, therapist's practice, or specialist's facility that doesn't require hospital admission

  Your Core Plan typically covers in-patient and day-care treatments, while out-patient treatments are covered if you've selected an Out-patient Plan.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How do benefit limits work on my policy?">
  Allianz policies may have various types of limits:

  * **Maximum plan benefit**: The total amount payable for all benefits per member, per Insurance Year

  * **Benefit-specific limits**: Monetary limits (e.g., €10,000) or visit/session limits for specific benefits

  * **"Per Insurance Year" limits**: Reset each policy year

  * **"Per lifetime" limits**: Apply throughout your entire time with the insurer

  * **"Per event" limits**: Apply to specific occurrences like pregnancies or trips

  Your policy may also have deductibles (fixed amounts you pay before insurance begins covering costs) and co-payments (percentage of costs you share with the insurer).
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Does my policy cover pre-existing conditions?">
  Allianz generally covers pre-existing conditions, including chronic conditions, unless specifically excluded in writing. Coverage depends on your underwriting terms:

  * **Full Medical Underwriting**: Conditions disclosed and accepted during application are covered according to policy terms

  * **Moratorium or CPME/CTT**: Pre-existing conditions may become eligible after a 24-month waiting period without symptoms, treatment, medication, or medical advice related to the condition

  Check your Table of Benefits and Insurance Certificate for specific details regarding pre-existing condition coverage under your policy.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How can I upgrade or downgrade my coverage?">
  Changes to your coverage level can only be made at policy renewal:

  * **Individual policyholders**: Contact Allianz before your renewal date to discuss options

  * **Group scheme members**: Changes must be requested through your company's HR department or plan administrator

  For coverage increases, you may need to complete a medical questionnaire and accept certain exclusions or restrictions. Additional premiums and waiting periods may apply to the enhanced coverage.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="What happens if I need medical evacuation or repatriation?">
  If medically necessary treatment isn't available locally or adequately screened blood is unavailable in an emergency, Allianz provides:

  * **Medical evacuation**: Transportation to the nearest appropriate medical facility (which may or may not be in your home country)

  * **Medical repatriation** (if included in your plan): Option to be transported to your home country for treatment instead of the nearest medical center, if your home country is within your geographical area of cover

  To access these benefits, contact Allianz's 24/7 helpline at the first sign evacuation or repatriation is needed. Allianz must organize and coordinate the service; otherwise, they may decline all costs.
