Frequently asked questions

What is international private healthcare cover?

Our international private healthcare plans offer an extensive and inclusive range of benefits.


With our cover, your health plan travels with you, providing the same level of cover whether you’re at home or abroad.


Our plans provide a truly private health journey with direct access to any recognised private provider, clinic or hospital within your chosen area of cover, without needing a doctor referral.

Where can I receive treatment abroad?

As long as it is covered by your health plan, you can have treatment at any recognised medical practitioner, hospital or clinic within your chosen area of cover.


Our plans provide you with the largest global network of over 2 million medical practitioners, giving you access to specialists all over the world. And when you use our provider network, we can settle with them directly, so you can focus on getting better.

What is medical evacuation and repatriation?

Medical evacuation is a benefit included in our plans which covers reasonable transport costs to the nearest appropriate place of treatment, where treatment required is not available locally.


Medical repatriation provides the additional option of returning to your country of nationality or country of residency, to be treated in familiar surroundings, where treatment is not available locally and medically appropriate to do so.


We have a dedicated assistance team on hand to support and arrange transportation.

Can pre-existing conditions be covered?

Pre-existing conditions could be covered, subject to meeting assessment criteria from our medical team.


When you apply for a health plan you will be asked to provide all information about any illness or injury for which you received medication, advice or treatment, or you had experienced symptoms before you become a customer.


Our medical team will review your medical history to decide the terms on which we will offer you a health plan. We may cover any pre-existing conditions, possibly for an extra premium, or decided to exclude specific pre-existing conditions or apply other restrictions to your health plan.


We will not cover any pre-existing conditions that you did not disclose in your application.
