Expat health insurance can be canceled at any time, but German law requires continuous health insurance coverage for residents. To cancel an expat health insurance policy, you must have another valid health insurance plan, either public or private. Cancellation must be done before the next billing cycle to avoid extra charges. The article includes instructions on how to cancel the policy via the online account portal.

When living in Germany, it is legally required to maintain continuous health insurance coverage. Except for rare exceptions, residing in Germany without health insurance is unlawful. Therefore, you can only cancel your expat health insurance policy if you have secured another health insurance plan.

If you plan to continue living in Germany, you must have another form of health insurance before canceling your expat policy. This can be a public health insurance policy through a statutory public health insurer (Krankenkasse) or a private health insurance plan. Tools and support are available to help determine the most suitable options.

To cancel your expat health insurance:

If your policy starts on the 1st of a month, you need to cancel before the 1st of the following month. Cancelling later will result in being charged and covered for an additional month.

Additional information about expat health insurance plans and comprehensive health coverage options is available on the official Feather Insurance website and blog.
