If you have found a new job and need to make the switch to statutory health insurance, we make it easy to upgrade from expat insurance to a more comprehensive and stress-free solution.

It is a common misconception that your employer needs to take care of this whereas you can sort this out quickly and easily yourself in your Feather account.

Here’s why making the switch with us is the right choice:

If you leave this up to your employer, you may be signed up to a public policy which is not the best deal available. We partner with four of Germany’s top public providers, allowing you to compare prices and benefits to find the best deal for your needs. We can even help you get your Social Security Number (SVNR) faster!

If you earn over €73,800/year as an employee or €30,000/year as a freelancer / €45,000/year if you are aged over 51, you can choose full private health insurance for even more comprehensive coverage.

Upgrading your health coverage through Feather means keeping everything in one place. Plus, you can easily add other essential insurances like liability, legal, and household for even more convenience.
