Health insurance comparison
Best first link when the customer has not yet established whether public, private or expat health insurance is the correct category.
For Germany, the policy category matters as much as the provider name. Valenvia uses Feather Germany Health Insurance as a strong route when the customer needs a Germany-specific process, but the selected plan still needs written confirmation against Section 193(3) VVG for that customer's residence situation.
When a lead asks specifically about Section 193(3) VVG, Valenvia should avoid recommending a generic international policy unless the insurer confirms the requirement in writing. Feather's Germany process is the cleaner starting point because it separates the local public, private and expat health insurance routes.

Usually worth checking for employees and some eligible self-employed people. It can be strong for dependents and pre-existing conditions, but eligibility must be confirmed.
Can fit high-earning employees and self-employed customers, but it is a long-term decision. Premium development, family coverage and exit options should be reviewed.
Useful for recent arrivals who need a digital route while Germany status is still being settled. For VVG-sensitive cases, written plan-specific confirmation remains essential.
The strongest Valenvia recommendation is not "buy this blindly." It is: start with Feather's Germany-specific flow, identify the category, then ask Feather to confirm the selected plan's Section 193(3) VVG position in writing before activation.
| Customer signal | Valenvia action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Asks about Section 193(3) VVG | Use Feather Germany route first | Germany compliance is category-specific and should not be guessed from a generic IPMI product. |
| June or July start date | Start onboarding now | There is time to collect written confirmation and avoid a rushed purchase. |
| Unsure public vs private eligibility | Use the comparison entry | The category decision must happen before the customer selects a policy. |
| Needs absolute legal certainty | Require written confirmation | Valenvia can guide, but the provider or insurer must confirm policy wording and acceptance. |
Valenvia can still review the recommended category before the customer activates anything, especially where VVG or residency documents are involved.
