Insurance for freelancersIf you earn above the salary threshold or are self-employed, you can access private health insurance (PKV): faster appointments and better benefits. We analyse whether it pays off for you.

Ronald and the team have spent years supporting expats in Germany, and they know where the real doubts are: what each tariff covers, which fine print matters and what fits your situation — health, home, life or a savings plan.
Our goal is that you make every decision understanding what you're signing, and that after the signature you still have the same person on the other side.

The only insurance required by law for all residents is health insurance, from your first day of residence. Personal liability insurance (Haftpflichtversicherung) is not mandatory, but it's so widespread that many landlords take it for granted, and it costs very little. The rest depends on your personal and family situation.
It depends on your work situation. If you're an employee, you normally join public health insurance (GKV). If you earn above the annual salary threshold, are self-employed or a civil servant, you can opt for private insurance (PKV). And if you've just arrived and don't work yet, temporary insurance covers you while your situation takes shape. We analyse your case for free and tell you which one applies.
Nothing. You'll pay exactly the insurer's official rate, the same as if you went directly to the company. Our remuneration comes from the insurers, which also allows us to compare them independently.
