Why work with me

On your side of the table — not the insurer's

Most people navigating German health insurance for the first time end up talking to whoever their employer, landlord, or a random comparison website points them to. That's rarely the same as getting advice that's actually built around your situation.

As an independent brokerage, we compare over 100 statutory and private insurers and recommend what genuinely fits your income, career plans, and life in Germany — not the policy that pays the biggest commission.

We work for you, the client — not for the insurance company. That's the whole point of independent advice.
Two situations, two paths

Which one is you?

Pick the path that matches your plans in Germany — each leads to a different next step.

  • Accepted for your entry visa application only
  • Minimum coverage of €30,000 guaranteed
  • Instant online application, from €2.40/day

Meet our founder

Mona Anbari

Founder & Licensed Insurance Broker

I spent years advising insurance brokers inside a major German insurance group before going independent. That experience showed me how confusing the system can be — even for people who grew up with it. For newcomers to Germany, it's even harder.

Today, I lead a small, dedicated team — from initial scheduling to ongoing support — with access to over 100 statutory and private insurers, so we can give you an honest recommendation. Every recommendation is personally reviewed by me, because we work for you, not the insurer. We'll talk it through by video or phone, in English, until it actually makes sense.
