What’s new?

Employees insured with WorkFlex no longer need to pay out-of-pocket for medical emergencies during business trips.

Instead, they will receive a virtual travel health insurance credit card in case of an emergency, allowing them to pay medical providers directly — without upfront payments or reimbursement processes.


Benefits for employees and HR

For employees

  • No upfront payments in medical emergencies.

  • Immediate access to a virtual credit card.

  • Less stress in critical situations.

For HR teams

  • Reduced administrative effort.

  • Fewer reimbursement cases.

  • Clear and standardized emergency processes.


How the travel health insurance credit card works

  1. The employee contacts WorkFlex via the emergency hotline, WhatsApp, or platform chat.

  2. WorkFlex generates a virtual health insurance credit card.

  3. The employee pays the medical provider directly using the card.

  4. Invoices are uploaded afterward.
