International Health
Insurance with Maternity Cover

You can receive treatment in any country within your area of cover, as shown in your Insurance Certificate.

If the treatment you need is available locally but you choose to travel to another country in your area of cover, we will reimburse all eligible medical costs incurred within the terms of your policy; except for your travel expenses.

If the eligible treatment is not available locally, and your cover includes “Medical evacuation”, we will also cover travel costs to the nearest suitable medical facility. To claim for medical and travel expenses incurred in these circumstances, you will need to complete and submit the Pre-authorisation Form before travelling.

You are covered for eligible costs incurred in your home country, provided that your home country is in your area of cover.

Our Bloom and Bloom Plus maternity plans include routine maternity and complications of childbirth. Please note a 16 month waiting period applies to these benefits.

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.

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.
