Specialised International Healthcare Plans

This is the geographical territory where your cover is valid. We offer multiple geographical area of cover options – please check your Family Healthcare Insurance Certificate to confirm which one applies to you.

For example, if your area of cover is “Worldwide”, this means that your cover will be valid everywhere in the world. If your area of cover is “Africa”, then your cover will be valid everywhere in Africa.

*Our policies don’t provide any cover or benefit for any business or activity to the extent that either the cover or benefit or the underlying business or activity would violate any applicable sanction law or regulations of the United Nations, the European Union or any other applicable economic or trade sanction law or regulations. The areas of cover are subject to our terms and conditions.

We do not provide travel or holiday insurance, but we have a short-term plan to suit members who need international health insurance for less than a year. Find out more about our short-term cover.

If you would like a quote for travel insurance please contact our colleagues at Allianz Assistance.

We generally cover pre-existing conditions (including pre-existing chronic conditions), unless we say otherwise in writing before policy inception. If your underwriting terms are moratorium or CPME/CTT (previously MORI), there will be a 24 month waiting period before claims for any pre-existing medical conditions may become eligible. Once you’ve completed a continuous 24-month period after your start date, your pre-existing medical condition may be covered, provided that you’ve not had symptoms, needed or received treatment, medication, a special diet or advice, or had any other indications of the condition.

For further information, please contact our Sales team.

Moratorium underwriting sets a waiting period for pre-existing medical conditions to limit the insurance risk. This means that:

• You won't need to tell us about pre-existing conditions of any member to be covered when you apply.
• There will be a 24-month waiting period before claims for any pre-existing medical conditions may become eligible.
• Pre-existing medical conditions may be covered, provided the member did not have symptoms, needed or received treatment, medication, a special diet or advice, or had any other indications of the condition. This is suitable for individuals or groups where members have no pre-existing conditions.
• Claims Process may be longer as each time we receive a claim, we'll look at the member medical history. We may also ask for additional information to understand if the symptom or condition is new or pre-existing.
• This option is available to individuals or groups with 3 to 9 policies
• Availability of Moratorium Underwriting is dependent on geographical location and the relevant local country regulations in place.
   

Full medical underwriting  is when we assess the insurance risk before cover starts.  This means that:

• You’ll be asked to complete a medical questionnaire for each person to be covered, telling us about pre-existing conditions when you apply.
• Pre-existing conditions may not be covered (or there may be a surcharge to cover pre-existing conditions). Members will be asked to complete an application form disclosing their medical history before cover starts. Our underwriting team will then assess the information and decide if we are able to offer cover for medical conditions disclosed on the form.
• Claims process is shorter because we already know if pre-existing conditions are covered.
• This option is available to individuals or groups with 3 to 9 policies.
