  • What is a geographical location of cover?

    This is the geographical territory where your cover is valid. We offer multiple geographical area of cover options – please check your policy benefits to confirm which one applies to you and under which terms.

    This is also coupled with the Network tab, identifying which service providers are covered.

  • What do I do if I need treatment outside my geographical location of cover?

    If you require treatment outside the area of cover indicated in your policy benefits, you may still be covered if the “Emergency treatment outside area of cover” is listed in your policy.

     

    This benefit provides cover for medical emergencies which occur during business or holiday trips outside your area of cover. In most cases, cover is provided up to a maximum period per trip and up to the maximum benefit amount (indicated in your policy benefits) and includes treatment required due to an accident or the sudden beginning or worsening of a severe illness which presents an immediate threat to your health.

     

    Treatment by a doctor must start within 24 hours of the emergency event. Cover is not provided for curative or follow-up on-emergency treatment, even if you are deemed unable to travel to a
    country within your geographical area of cover. Furthermore, the cover doesn’t include the charges relating to maternity, pregnancy, childbirth or any complications of pregnancy or childbirth.

     

    If you are covered under a group scheme, you must inform your company’s Group Scheme Manager if you are moving outside your area of cover for more than six weeks. If you are not part of standard policy, you might have a different submission period. Please check the guidelines with the Care Center.

  • Does my policy cover pre-existing conditions?

    If you are covered under a group scheme or with an individual policy we generally cover pre-existing conditions (including pre-existing chronic conditions) unless we say otherwise in your policy
    documents. If in doubt, please check your policy benefits to confirm if pre-existing conditions are covered.

  • Can I upgrade or downgrade my level of cover?

    If you have an individual policy and want to change your level of cover, please contact your insurance company before your policy renewal date to discuss your options, as changes to the level of cover can only be made at policy renewal.

     

    If you are covered under a group scheme plan the level of cover was decided by your company, therefore if you want to discuss any change you must contact your group administration or Human Resources.
