The area of cover is the geographical or territorial limits of your plan, specifying in which countries you’re covered and which countries you’re not.
An in-patient is someone who’s been formally admitted to a hospital for medical treatment, staying in a hospital bed for at least one night. Health insurance plans are typically divided into in-patient plans and comprehensive plans.
In-patient plans cover you only for treatment you receive while you’re admitted to hospital. These plans are usually cheaper.
Comprehensive plans also cover you for primary care and everyday medical costs. These plans usually more expensive.
The premiums we’re showing you here are indicative.
When you apply for a health plan with us, we’ll ask for full details of your medical history. If you have pre-existing medical conditions, the final premium on your invitation to purchase a plan may be higher than the ones you see here.
We’ll always provide you with full information about your plan and how we’ve calculated your premiums, so you can make an informed decision for your private healthcare needs.

When you apply for a health plan, we assess your medical records, including any medical conditions or injuries you have suffered in the past. This process is known as medical underwriting. It helps us decide the terms on which we can offer you cover. Full medical underwriting means we’ll ask you a series of questions about your medical history when you apply.

None of the areas of cover includes cover in the USA as standard. This is because private healthcare in the USA is extremely expensive and most of our members do not need cover there.
But if you do need cover for temporary trips to the USA, you can select cover for temporary trips of up to 45 days.

A co-insurance is the contribution you must make towards the cost of your out-patient treatment. With a 20% co-insurance, for example, you pay for 20% of any bills for doctor visits or specialist consultations. If you select no co-insurance, you won’t have to contribute anything towards the cost of your out-patient treatment.
The best co-insurance for you depends on your needs. We see the co-insurance as a partnership between us and you. A higher co-insurance helps reduce our spending on medical treatment, and we pass on savings to your premium. So—as a rule of thumb, a higher co-insurance means a lower premium.
An excess is the amount you pay out-of-pocket before your plan begins to pay for your healthcare. A ‘per visit’ excess is the amount you pay each time you visit a doctor or dentist. If you select a nil excess, you won’t have to pay anything each time you make such a visit.
The best excess for you depends on your needs. We see the excess as a partnership between us and our members. A higher excess helps reduce our spending on medical treatment, and we pass on savings to your premium. So—as a rule of thumb, a higher excess means a lower premium for your plan.
An excess is the amount you pay out-of-pocket before your plan begins to pay for your healthcare.
A per claim excess is the amount you pay each time you make a new claim for a new medical condition.

Life insurance helps you to safeguard your family's financial future should you pass away. You'll leave behind a cash lump-sum to help maintain your family's standard of living or to pay off a mortgage or debt. While domestic life insurance might not cover you if you die abroad, with international life insurance you’ll be covered around the world.
You can insure your life for any amount up to US$2m or £1.5m or €1.7m. This is the amount your beneficiaries would receive if you passed away. The sum you insure cannot exceed 20x your current annual earnings.
With the optional accident benefit, your family will receive an additional cash lump-sum if your death is caused by an accident. If you suffer a serious injury in an accident, we'll pay the cash lump- sum directly to you.
The accident benefit is only available if you also purchase life insurance. You can purchase accident cover up to US$500k or £375k or €500k, but the sum you insure cannot exceed your life benefit.
An income protection plan pays you a replacement income if you’re unable to work because of illness or injury.
You can insure up to 75% of your annual salary, up to a maximum of US$144k or £108k or €144k. This is the replacement income we’ll pay you if you’re unable to work because of illness or injury.
Payment of your replacement income starts after your deferment period. You can choose a deferment period of 3 months or 6 months. Premiums are higher with a 3-month deferment period, because payment of your replacement income starts sooner.

Our premiums are different for males and females in the United Arab Emirates. We need to know your gender to give you an accurate premium.
The country where you’ll be needing cover (also known as ‘country of residence’) is the country where you’ll be living or working, or spending most of your time. Our plans are designed for expats (eg a British national living in Hong Kong, a French national living in Brazil). Typically, our members are permanently resident in a foreign country. But we can sometimes insure people who expect to spend at least 6 months of the year living or travelling abroad. In certain countries, we can cover people living in their country of nationality.
Your country of nationality is the country stated on your passport (eg United States, Netherlands). If you have dual nationality, you can choose whichever nationality you prefer. We can insure people of every nationality!
