Why is international health insurance essential when travelling for an extended period overseas?

  • When sent overseas for a work secondment, it's key to ensure I have access to to the best private care locally and not have to return home and Jepodise work requirements.

  • When planning gap year travels around the world, appendicitis was not something I was prepared for. An appendicectomy and first class private care allowed the adventure to continue without flying home.

    Approximate costs: £13,500/$17,550/€14,850

  • When travelling overseas for 4 months, a short-term international health plan ticked all the boxes with portability from one country to the next.

  • Kidney stones are not expected when sent on a 3 month secondment to Asia. Luckily the costs were covered in full

    Approximate costs: £12,000/$15,600/€13,200

    Je souhaiterais recevoir une alerte pour me prevenir que ma souscription touche a sa fin. Sinon tout est parfait.

  • 23 September 2018

    Très facile !

  • 22 September 2018

    Delai de réponse entre 5 jours et une semaine. Plusieurs interlocuteurs différents. Pas de réponses aux questions posées et aux demandes formulées. Mauvaise communication entre les différents services de traitement du dossier.. Manque de réactivité et d’efficacité.

    simple et pratique en ligne

    Globalement satisfaite. Il y a eu une erreur sur le site internet lors de ma première tentative de souscription qui m'a obligée à recommencer du début, mais sinon RAS.

  • 20 September 2018

    Le systeme de payment en ligne par carte mastercard a crache 2x de suite ( message error) obligeant a recomencer la souscription a zero. La 3eme fut la bonne. Le probleme semble etre le chargement de la page initial et non la validation du paiment.
