I'm still working on a complete overhaul of German health insurance advice for immigrants. It's a really boring topic BUT a fascinating problem.
The system is complex. Choosing the best option is difficult. Understanding the timelines, the required documents, and how to prove coverage for a visa application or school enrolment is super complex. I'm trying to streamline the whole thing.
I released phase one yesterday. It's a simple overhaul of the text advice plus a new health insurance calculator. I also paired up with a health insurance broker to give more personalised advice, since everyone needs a different recommendation.
It's here: https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/german-health-insurance https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/german-health-insurance
I'm now working on phase two: covering the exact process of getting insured for a visa application. I really want to walk people through the exact order of things, with detailed steps and timelines. The calculator will get a hell of a lot more complicated.
Phase three is compressing all of that. Once I have a good idea of how things work and where friction can be reduced, I'll simplify and automate as much of it as possible. It should turn a messy, complex and confusing process into a fairly straightforward thing.
I feel like no one is really doing this yet, and I'm surprised at how achievable it is.
