You can find a lot of household assurance companies on the German marketplace.

How should you do to get the best household inventory insurance at a competitive price? The following site offers a free comparison of German household contents insurances: guenstige Hausratversicherungen. There the customer can start an individual householders assurance equation. One will get the right household contents insurance quotation out of a great number of insurance providers.
Who should effect household contents assurance? Each proprietary of a building and every hirer can cover themselves against the monetary exposure of loss of household inventory. Here are several nameable facts that should be taken into consideration when searching the right German household insurance provider online:
You can save money by effecting a yearly payment for the household items insurance. If you want to pay monthly or quarterly, some of the insurance companies will charge higher prices. By arranging a deterrent fee you can reach good savings concerning the premium payment. The price of your household insurance depends on the complete value of your household items, on the local risk situation and inclusion of individual risks. It is necessary to adjust the amount insured to the complete worth of the household items. Otherwise the insurance might pay only part of the loss.
Almost every movable items, which are in the household of the insured customer, may be included in the insurance plan. These are for instance furniture, electrical equipment, clothing and also food supplies. Even bikes can be put in the household items assurance and thus be insured against theft. It is not mandatory to visit all the German householders assurance suppliers by oneself when searching the right solution. You can retrieve an online comparison and even buy your household contents assurance here: Hausratversicherungen im Vergleich. Losses caused by natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods and avalanches are dependent on the geographical country, and often result in a huge number of single claims. If you want to cover these natural hazards you could ask the household insurer for an individual contract.
The household items insurance is helpful for every proprietary of valuable household inventory. It does not matter if you keep these objects in the own house or if one is living in a flat as a renter. Basically, the household contents assurance gives cover against damage caused by theft, vandalism, hail, tap water, storm and fire. Also flood damage and harm to electrical devices by irregularities in the power supply can be included in the assurance coverage.
Absolute bunk. This health care “reform” of Obama’s is the best friend big business ever had, it’s an absurd lie to call it “socialized medicine.” A single payer system would be GREAT for small business, eliminating one of their biggest costs, health insurance, and it would save thousands of lives. Saying Obama hates the “free market” is a lie, of course, although any decent person does hate the mindset of putting profits ahead of people. This country IS failing.

Hi Jase,
Your story prompted me to collage some reports (from the Grauniad) on recent flooding in the UK. Thank God I live on the fourth floor…
The government estimates that about 31,000 homes and 7,000 businesses, mostly in the Midlands and northern England, have been affected by the recent floods. Last week Gordon Brown announced a £14m package of help for regions devastated by the flooding. But in Hull the repair bill for schools alone may top £60m and could be as high as £100m. Only five out of 95 schools in the city were unaffected by the floods.
As well as Hull, where the council says it now faces a bill that could exceed £200m, parts of north Doncaster remain under water. The town's mayor, Martin Winter, today warned that some local flood victims might not be able to return to their homes for 18 months, if ever. Up to 3,000 people were evacuated during the flooding, with around 700 of them still unable to return. “It may be six to 18 months for some people before we can actually get them back in their homes, if at all,” Mr Winter said as he announced a recovery plan for the area.
Oxfam has warned that, as with flooding in developing nations, the poorest people are likely to suffer the most. “One significant way in which poorer people are affected is that they are less likely to have household insurance cover – and less likely to have the money to replace damaged goods than those who are better off,” the agency's Kate Wareing said.
Two men were arrested on the Bransholme estate in Hull yesterday after allegedly impersonating council officers as a cover for removing property from evacuated homes. Residents were warned to beware of other conmen or cowboy builders offering to make instant repairs. Mary Dhonau, coordinator of the National Flood Forum, said that crime added to the misery of an estimated one in four of flood victims who had no insurance. She said: “That's an awful lot of people who can't afford new accommodation and they don't have the money to replace all their items. It's heartbreaking. It's bad enough being flooded but to not have insurance is just the pits.” The Meteorological Office confirmed that this June has been the wettest in England since 1914, with some areas having the worst rainfall for the month since records began.
Villagers in Longford, near Gloucester, protested yesterday about the granting of planning permission for 650 new homes on land in the flood plain. Teacher Peter Gough, 63, who chairs Longford parish council, said: “This land is the sponge that stops our homes becoming flooded by the Severn. The Environment Agency has said we would be put at risk of extreme flooding if this really is allowed to go ahead.”
Even as people were drowning, houses were flooding, dams were at bursting point and areas of British cities were last week being inundated by some of the most torrential summer rain experienced in decades, the government's plans for handling future flooding events were being leaked. A confidential Environment Agency (EA) document, obtained by the Liberal Democrats' environment spokesman, Chris Huhne, showed that not only had flood defence spending been cut this year, but that future spending to protect the 1.8m homes in the frontline would not be increased for four more years. The document drily noted that this was effectively “a reduction in spending”.
The consensus is that central government and local authorities must not just invest more in flood defences, but must rethink their strategies and address the causes. Straightened rivers, intensive farming of more land, continual housing and industrial development in risky areas, the destruction of places where water can be temporarily stored, and the disconnection of rivers from their floodplains all make Britain prone to the kind of flash floods experienced in the last fortnight. The widespread concreting over of naturally absorbent land surfaces, such as gardens, means that more water is running off into sewers and river courses that were never meant to take so much water. In the countryside, heavier tractors and the practice of ploughing uplands for winter crops has increased the run-off into rivers.
Much of the flooding in the last week has been because drains were unable to cope with the sheer quantity of water that fell so suddenly. But many also failed because the amount of maintenance money allocated by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to the EA has decreased. “A system of high, medium and low maintenance programmes has been adopted by the EA to prioritise allocation of maintenance funds, resulting in, in effect, no maintenance in low priority areas,” says Jean Venables, chief executive of the Association of Drainage Authorities. Most of the flooding this week was in urban areas that have not suffered much flooding before and were not well maintained.
A Grauniad reader comments:
£250m sounds like a lot to protect the country from disaster, doesn't it? Unless of course you consider how much is spent on “defence” follies like Iraq. No comparison? Well, the UK is spending millions per month supporting an invasion that was to protect the UK from massive destruction… but surely flood defences are a pretty cost effective way of protecting large parts of the UK from massive destruction in comparison… UK declared defence budget in 2006 was something like £33bn. Maybe a “war on the bloody obvious” should be declared, get Blair to do a bit post-PM creative writing – a dodgy dossier on WMDs – Weather of Mass Destruction… (As a footnote, has anyone calculated the carbon footprint of the 3 armed services – just per annum fuel use? It must be horrendous…)
And another…
National governments have (a) surrendered the control of their economies to corporations accountable only to their shareholders, and (b) are so in awe of the “international investor class” – and their offshore tax havens – that they dare no longer ask them to make their fair share of the contributions necessary, lest they be off to more tax-friendly pastures. (Flooded pastures?)
Meanwhile, carry on building new housing on flood plains, and avoid joined-up government: it disrupts 'easy' short-termist 'solutions'.
Right, that's enough about accountants…Sx

The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Call and complain and tell them you're only going to pay what you would have owed if they sent it to a network lab. It's not your fault they didn't send it to the right place. They know what coverage you have and it's their responsibility to get it right.
I complained at the doctor's office and they called the lab. The lab wrote the whole thing off and I paid nothing.
Also, don't pay any bill until you get the EOB (Explanation Of Benefits) from your insurance company. When they send you a bill tell them to bill the insurance company first and then bill you. Good luck.
