How Much Coverage Do You Need?

Our recommendation based on Brno's healthcare costs

The $100,000 recommendation reflects local costs. A typical Brno hospital day costs $300. Serious conditions demand longer stays, specialized care, or evacuation. Evacuation is unlikely. It is expensive when needed. A $30,000 minimum depletes fast. $100,000 provides proper protection. Choose wisely.
