Six online workshops starting November 17 will clarify health insurance and treatment rules for residents across the Upper Rhine region, wochenblatt-reporter.de reported.
The trinational competence center TRISAN alongside Infobest Kehl/Strasbourg and Vogelgrun/Breisach organized the series. Sessions run from 12:00 to 13:30 and feature simultaneous interpretation in German and French.
The first three workshops focus primarily on health insurance for cross-border commuters. Topics include telework regulations, pension implications, and family insurance coverage.
The opening session on November 17 addresses individuals living in Germany and insured in France, or vice versa. A November 24 session covers workers insured in Switzerland, while a December 1 session focuses on retired former cross-border workers.
Subsequent sessions examine medical treatments across national borders. A December 10 workshop targets individuals living and insured in France, saarnews.com reported. A January 19, 2027 session covers people residing in Germany with statutory health insurance, and a February 2, 2027 session serves those living and insured in Switzerland.
Specialists from the relevant health insurance funds in Germany, France, and Switzerland explain treatment eligibility and cost coverage conditions. Sandra Fieseler of TRISAN stated that the initiative aims to increase awareness of medical services available in neighboring countries, according to saarnews.com.
