Overview
Genki offers worldwide health insurance for digital nomads, expatriates, and long-term travelers through two plans: Genki Traveler for short- to mid-term trips with worldwide coverage and no deductible (USA/Canada can be excluded to lower price), and Genki Native for long-term international coverage that can replace national plans and includes preventive care, dental, vision, mental health, and maternity. It acts as an insurance intermediary, partnering with underwriters such as Allianz, DR-WALTER, and Barmenia, while handling signup, management, and claims online. Plans are subscription-based with monthly payments and can be canceled anytime, with coverage that can be customized by destination. Genki targets the globally mobile population by offering a fully online, easy-to-use experience and reliable international coverage, aiming to simplify healthcare abroad for travelers and expatriates.
