About us

History

CareMed was launched in 1989 by a travel organization with many years’ experience in the field of international youth exchange.

All CareMed employees are insurance professionals and have collected valuable experience during cultural exchange abroad.

Well informed any time

We regularly attend international conferences and symposiums and work closely with our clients to be well informed about needs and trends in the travel industry and youth exchange, thus, enabling us to anticipate new solutions.

CareMed insurance policies are constantly adapted to new programs, changing visa requirements, instructions imposed on schools/universities as well we demands by parents and host families. Proposals and modification request are welcome any time. With pleasure, we will review realization and send our feedback.

Philosophy

CareMed policies are adapted to the field of Educational Travel. Especially young travelers are in need of comprehensive coverage abroad at an affordable price. We emphasize on transparent, fair and sustainable long-term solutions. Travel health insurance may be taken out as an individual component, for example, or be included in comprehensive insurance coverage (together with accident insurance, travel assistance, luggage and third party liability insurance).
Our clients' needs are paramount. Enrollment may be done via our website on short notice, insurance documents are available environmentally friendly online. Consequently, we save time and avoid sending it by post.
