I have been using the policy for a year and am enthusiastic about the additional services, such as virtual healthcare. ​That helped me a lot in times of Covid. The customer service is also very good.

Finally a company that can really be reached! I was helped a lot with the registration and my university accepted the insurance. ​I am glad that I don't have to take out the more expensive university health insurance and that I can save money! Thank you!

I love the chat on the website. Usually chats are always automated, but here a real human is answering. I was able to clarify many questions in a few minutes and didn't have to wait for an answer by email.
