DR-WALTER, as the official claims processor for Genki Explorer insurance, you have failed me spectacularly.
I've been a loyal customer of Genki for two full years, paying premiums without a single issue. This was my first time actually needing the insurance after a medical expense abroad. I submitted my claim on December 30, 2025, with all the required medical invoices.
Since then? Complete radio silence from you. I emailed multiple times as instructed by Genki, followed up repeatedly, and got one vague email on February 5 admitting "delays due to high volume and procedural issues" – no timeline, no payout link, nothing useful.
It's now mid-February 2026 (over two months later), and zero progress. My claim remains stuck

Everyone very helpful and pretty straightforward system. Only issue was it took 3 weeks for the money to be debited from my account using a visa card. Overall very satisfied.

Unprofessional claims handling and breach of communication (Policy PWT-120001)

I am writing this to highlight the unprofessional behavior of the Dr-Walter Claims Department. My claim (PWT-120001) has been handled with a complete lack of consistency and transparency.The department has provided three contradictory reasons for denying my claim:Initially, they claimed documents were "illegible" (resolved by providing digital receipts).Then, they termed medical treatment for a diagnosed condition as "preventive."Finally, they claimed a "pre-existing condition" based on non-specific symptoms, ignoring evidence-based medical facts and the official diagnosis date.After a formal escalation, I received an email from the Claims Department on December 15, 2025, stating they would "carefully re-examine the case" and "inform me immediately."It has been 19 days, and I have received no response. This delay and the refusal to engage with the actual medical facts of the case are unacceptable for a licensed German insurance administrator. I expect a professional resolution immediately, not more generic templates.UPDATE (2026-01-10):It has now been more than 25 days since your promise on December 15 to “inform me immediately”. Using public holidays as an explanation for complete silence over such an extended period is not acceptable for a professional insurance administrator.My case is not “complex”; what appears complex is the way you have handled it. You have already cycled through three different explanations: technical (“illegible documents”), medical (“preventive”), and finally legal (“pre-existing condition”). In German insurance practice, inconsistent and shifting reasons for a denial are widely seen as a red flag for bad-faith handling of claims.I therefore request a final, formal decision that explains, in writing, why the reasons for denying my claim have changed and which exact policy clauses you rely on. In the absence of a professional and transparent response, I will proceed with escalating this case to BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) to address these “denial fishing” tactics and the breach of professional standards.

I was a happy customer with ADAC more than 5 times and only good reason to switch was DR-WALTER provides support in English but not claims.

Just what was needed for this Expat

I chose Dr Walter Provisit because signup was fast, coverage started on my arrival date, and the price was fair. I liked clear terms, simple claims instructions, and quick support. It made relocation easier and stress free.I needed temporary coverage while moving and I wanted something I could purchase online without paperwork delays or medical questionnaires. The website made the process simple. I entered personal data, selected a start date, and paid. I received policy documents instantly and the information was clear and easy to understand. The policy listed coverage for doctor visits, emergency care, prescriptions, travel coverage, and medical evacuation, which matched basic needs during relocation. Customer support responded to emails in under a day and answered direct questions with short, clear explanations. The cost stayed predictable and competitive, which helped with budget planning during the move. I recommend it to anyone relocating or waiting for public insurance because it gives fast coverage with low effort and reliable support.

Good insurance overall

I had different issues when I needed the insurance as a student in Germany and despite the fact that there were controversial case in my situation - overall everything was resolved really well. I am thankful for their work and actually I think they did more than I expected. I have them for almost 3 years and price wise it really helped me! The only thing is the communication, sometimes you have different people who respond and they loose stuff and some mess happened, but I would choose them again and reccomend them to my friends!
