Digital Card and Air Doctor: DR-WALTER expands its international service

03.02.2026

DR-WALTER provides its policyholders with a convenient solution for obtaining medical assistance quickly when abroad. The Air Doctor app makes it easy to find a doctor and also offers access to telemedical consultations—a service that has already proven itself with the PROTRIP, Protrip World, and DIA-Weltpolice individual insurance policies and is now also available for group contracts from organizations and universities.  
There is now also a Digital Card. Whether for voluntary service, a semester abroad, or a mission abroad, the sending organizations also welcome the Digital Card. It can be conveniently stored in a smartphone wallet and provides all relevant information about insurance coverage at a glance. 

 

Telemedicine or on-site treatment – your choice 

Getting sick in a foreign country can be a major problem: you do not know any doctors, you have no network, and you may not even speak the local language. 
The Air Doctor app helps with this: insured people can quickly set up a video consultation. This gives them a quick initial assessment – which is especially helpful for mental health issues. As mental health is becoming increasingly important for many young people, DR-WALTER offers up to three telemedicine consultations in the patient's native language as part of its group contracts.

Those who prefer to visit a doctor's office in person can use the app to display a list of nearby doctors, including their specialties, language options, and the ability to make appointments directly online. 

 

Direct billing with doctors in the Air Doctor network 

A significant advantage for insured persons: in many cases, the costs of treatment can be settled directly between Air Doctor and the respective practice. This eliminates the need for advance payment, which is otherwise common for private treatment abroad. 

 

All insurance information always at your fingertips  

The Digital Card in your smartphone wallet provides everything you need to know about your insurance coverage. It provides all the important information in a compact format, such as the insurance period, emergency numbers, what to do in case of illness, information on complex treatments, and how to submit invoices. 
“Our digital insurance card is the perfect travel companion for safety and health,” emphasizes CEO Reinhard Bellinghausen. “Together with the Air Doctor app, it is the ideal solution for making life easier for people abroad.”
