How are medical costs covered for someone with a tourist visa in Germany?
If you're in Germany on a tourist visa and experience serious health issues, travel insurance typically covers emergencies. However, it generally won't cover pre-existing conditions or planned treatments. It's usually not possible to find insurance that significantly reduces costs for specific treatments when you're visiting on a tourist visa. Most often, you'll be responsible for covering these treatment expenses yourself.
