US Health Insurance for German Expats

What Works, What Fails, and What Costs More Than Expected

This webinar focuses on how U.S. health insurance actually works for German expats, why travel insurance and European coverage often fail once you are living in the U.S.,
and how deductibles, provider networks, and cost sharing shape real healthcare costs.
Using practical examples rather than theory, we explain what works, what fails, and what costs more than expected, so you can make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.

What you will learn:

• Understand the structural differences between the U.S. and German healthcare systems — and why coverage works fundamentally differently.
• Learn how U.S. health insurance really functions, including provider networks, deductibles, and cost-sharing models.
• Gain clarity on total annual healthcare costs vs. monthly premiums — and how to budget strategically.

• Find out why travel insurance or European plans often fail once residency status changes.
• Get practical guidance on choosing coverage aligned with your career move, visa status, and life stage.
