How we work

Your path to getting started

A clear, step-by-step process — fully digital, entirely tailored to you, and backed by long-term personal support.

  1. 1

    Tailored & free consultation

    We start with a free video or phone call to understand your situation — visa, employment, family and medical background — before recommending anything.

  2. 2

    An individual plan

    We compare 40+ German PHI insurers and put together a plan built around your budget, medical needs and long-term life in Germany — not around insurer commissions.

  3. 3

    Fully digital access

    Everything happens digitally: video meetings, e-signatures and secure document handling. You can work with us from anywhere in the world.

  4. 4

    Long-term personal support

    Once you're insured we stay by your side — for § 204 tariff switches, premium relief, family additions and questions in retirement.

I have been working with Ms. Fröhlich for several years and I am extremely satisfied. As an outstanding insurance broker, she finds excellent tariffs, and communicating with her makes dealing with insurance genuinely pleasant. Her expertise across all insurance topics makes her an incredibly reliable specialist. I consider myself lucky to have such a competent insurance broker by my side and can recommend her to anyone without reservation.

Nobody enjoys dealing with the topic of insurance. With Ms. Fröhlich by my side that has changed: perfect advice tailored individually to me, always reliable — without ever building any pressure. On top of that, Ms. Fröhlich works in an extremely service-oriented way. Compared to online services, she offers real added value. In short: I'm thrilled. Thank you so much!
