It is essential to give health cover top priority. For all permanent residents in Germany, health insurance is mandatory. To conform with regulations it has to include:

-Mandatory nursing insurance.

-The company has to have a representation in Germany .

-The insurance contract must contain an assurance that it cannot be cancelled because of health issues once the patient is insured.

-Reserves of at least 10% must be levied to stabilize premiums on retirement.

All these requirements are met by Allianz private health insurance. Failure to get compliant health insurance set up in a timely way can result in fines being levied.

If you are working here as an employee earning a fixed salary above 64.350,00 € Euros per year in 2021 you can opt for health insurance in the public or private system.

The German Finance Service Institute (DFSI) tested private health insurance providers on service and premium, and financial strength. Allianz was nominated 'Best Private Health Insurance' .

Choosing health insurance is a complex issue and it is advisable to seek competent advice to ensure that the cover you have is right for you. I am specialised in the field of private health insurance. I will take you step by step through the process of getting the right health insurance cover to meet your needs.

Under German law you are held personally responsible for damage you cause to other people, their property and income. You are required to pay full compensation regardless of your financial situation. This can run into high figures so this kind of cover is very important.

Make especially sure that if you have young children they are covered when you set up the insurance.

In combination with building, legal and contents insurance we offer attractive discounts.

Index-linked contents insurance can provide cover for the current replacement value of your property in the event of damage caused by:

*Fire or explosion

*Lightning, hail or storm

*Burglary and subsequent vandalism as well as robbery with violence and theft of property outside the home, for example from locked hotel rooms, from bank safes and locked cars.

*Flooding

*Luggage insurance

*Extensive all-risk cover for precious items such as jewellery, camera equipment and musical instruments.

*Emergency services

In combination with building, legal and liability insurance we offer attractive discounts and you benefit from the following additional advantages free of charge.

In Germany 1 in 5 members of the workforce are forced to stop working before pensionable age because of illnesses and accidents resulting in long term disability.

The causes can range from accidents in the home or while driving through to chronic back pain and psychological conditions such as depression and burn out.

The result can be a massive drop in income and living standards which is often seriously under-estimated. Accident and disability insurance can close this gap.

After health and liability insurance disability cover is rated by consumer protection organisations as an absolute MUST.

This important issue is complex. We will be happy to advise you personally and look for solutions tailored to meet your individual needs.

Especially if your command of German is not too strong you might like to seriously consider taking out this kind of insurance. In the event that you are involved in a legal dispute for example with your landlord, the authorities, another car-driver or the police - all the discussions and correspondence will almost certainly be in German. And, if you are involved in a traffic incident abroad in French, Greek, Portuguese or whichever language is spoken in the country you are travelling in.

While you may be in the right, getting your interests recognised can be a long and expensive process with no certain outcome. Legal insurance is designed to take the financial worry out of this process.

The insurance covers a broad spectrum of issues where you need legal counselling and support at home and world-wide.

If you are self-employed you will need appropriate legal cover for your professional activities.

In combination with building, contents and liability insurance we offer attractive discounts.
