Frequently Asked Questions

What are the payment options for International health insurance plans?

You can also pay by cheque or bank transfer, but monthly payments won’t be available if you choose one these payment methods. Payments are subject to the following administration surcharges: 0% for annual payment, 3% for half-yearly payments, 4% for quarterly payments and 5% for monthly payments.

Does Internatinal Health Insurance cover pre-existing conditions?

Coverage for pre-existing medical conditions (including pre-existing chronic conditions) depends on the medical underwriting terms you accepted.

  • For policies which were fully medically underwritten, pre-existing conditions are generally covered unless we say otherwise in your policy documents.
  • For policies with moratorium, pre-existing conditions are only eligible for coverage once you’ve completed a continuous 24-month period after your start date and have not had symptoms, needed or received treatment, medication, a special diet or advice, or had any other indications of the condition during that time.
For further information, please contact our Sales Team.

What is the contract length for International health insurance plans? What is the cancellation policy?

Most of our health insurance contracts are for one year – but we have a short-term plan to suit members who need international health insurance for less than a year.
For all products, there is a 30 day cooling off period from the start date. After this, the policy may not be cancelled until renewal, regardless of whether a monthly or annual payment frequency is chosen. For more information please contact our dedicated sales team on +353 1 514 8480
