Plan-by-plan verdicts
Ordered by strength of the published China relationship. Every verdict is based on public evidence with a stated cutoff date — your policy certificate always takes precedence.
Plans issued in Germany unless noted otherwise.
Case-by-case approval is the path
8 plansPublic evidence points to individual pre-authorisation or a guarantee of payment (GOP) arranged per case, rather than a standing hospital network in China. Approval depends on your policy, the treatment and the hospital's acceptance.
Pay first, claim later
3 plansPublic evidence supports reimbursement only: you settle the hospital bill yourself and claim from your insurer afterwards. Compliant invoices, itemised bills and translated records decide whether the claim succeeds.
China is excluded from this plan
4 plansPublic policy documents explicitly exclude mainland China from this plan's covered area for routine treatment. We would rather tell you this now than after you book a flight.
Based on public evidence as of 2026-08-03 (release R295). This is research information, not insurance advice, a payment guarantee or a contract interpretation. Eligibility, covered area, pre-authorisation, GOP, direct billing and payout always depend on your current policy and final confirmation by your insurer and the hospital.
