Usage tips
Typical collocations
An adverb often comes before „versichert“ (insured) to indicate the type of insurance: „gesetzlich versichert“ (covered by statutory health insurance), „privat versichert“ (privately insured), or „gut versichert“ (well insured). You particularly often hear the question „gesetzlich oder privat versichert?“ (covered by statutory or private health insurance?) at the doctor's office.
EXAMPLE
Sind Sie gesetzlich oder privat versichert?
Are you covered by statutory or private health insurance?
The correct preposition
The insured damage or risk is often introduced by „gegen“ (against) with the accusative. The person or thing can appear as the subject with „sein“ (to be).
EXAMPLE
Unsere Wohnung ist gegen Wasserschäden versichert.
Our apartment is insured against water damage.
