Is this a health insurance policy?
No, it’s a personal accident insurance which includes insurance against sickness and accident medical expenses outside your home country. Medical expenses claims are subject to a $250 deductible for each and every claim.
What insurance does my policy provide for me?
1) Accidental death
2) Permanent disablement
3) Medical expenses – from accident and sickness*
4) Medical evacuation from the point of an incident and repatriation home when necessary
* All medical expanses claims have $250 deductible per claim.
What areas of the world does your insurance cover?
Unlike many insurers we don’t exclude ANY region worldwide and that includes all conflict areas, war zones and other hazardous areas.
Am I eligible for ‘sickness and repatriation’ in my own country?
No. You are covered for sickness and repatriation from all the countries in your chosen zone except your home country. The decision to repatriate you is decided by the doctor treating you in discussion with our emergency claims partner.
Can you cover my equipment?
Sorry but no. We specialise in covering people not things. However If you’re looking at covering much larger items over $500,000 such as a ship a plane or a valuable shipment then do get in touch and a member of our team can assist.
What if I am not travelling to a hostile area, do I still need insurance?
Typically more accidents happen at home or in your home country than abroad. Your policy provides valuable 24/7 insurance whilst at work or leisure in all the countries in the areas you have selected.
What is the maximum amount I can be insured for?
The maximum you can insure yourself for is restricted to no more than a multiple of 10x your income or $500,000 whichever is the lower.
What medical expenses does my insurance policy cover?
Full details of the medical expenses covered by your insurance policy are set out in the policy terms and conditions emailed to you when you bought your policy. These are the same as our now famous cover for Journalists and can be viewed on our ‘Downloads’ page: See insuranceforgroup.com
Does my insurance include cover for war and terrorism?
Yes, as long as you are not actively participating in war or terrorism.
