Diggin up an old post ... Does any one have experience about the GeoBlue reimbursements for out of network doctors in Germany? They write that they will reimburse the "usual/normal fees", but that of course leaves a lot of room for speculation whether this might be all or just a fraction, especially when you tell the doctor that you are a "Privatpatient".
I am a German national, living in the US and might sign up for the GeoBlue "Explorer" insurance, since there is no more tax penalty for not having an ACA insurance. They are expensive, but the options I have from the market place are a lot worse (7000 deductible with 500 USD monthly fee...) , and I spend a few of months in Germany every year anyhow, so could get most non-emergency treatment in Germany.
