Group Health Insurance

Group medical insurance plans are designed to accommodate groups larger than three persons. We can develop customized coverage and offer premium discounts to groups.

These plans generally have the same or better coverage than individual plans.

Plan premiums are calculated depending upon where group members live and their ages. The plans are not specific to one country so if a member of the group relocates to a new country, the coverage can be taken with them. Furthermore, if a member should leave the group he can normally transfer to an individual plan with the same insurer and retain cover for all pre-existing conditions.

Plans can be customized to have levels of cover depending on group member seniority and can include maternity, dental, chronic conditions, travel, personal accident, etc. We can also include a deductible (excess) to minimize the policy administration and keep premiums low.

If you are interested in arranging a group insurance plan, please contact us so that we can better understand your needs.

Important Points to Consider

Chronic Condition Coverage
Chronic conditions are generally defined as medical conditions which you do not recover from but only manage and maintain, for example diabetes and asthma. Currently about half of the international medical insurance plans in the market offer coverage for chronic conditions. It is important to understand that the on-going treatment and management of chronic conditions can be very expensive; as such plans offering this coverage are generally more expensive.

Geographic Coverage

There is basically two types of coverage. Worldwide including North America and Worldwide excluding North America. If you choose Worldwide excluding North America then you can choose to visit any hospital, doctor or clinic anywhere in the World excluding North America. Conversely, if you choose to include the coverage in North America then you can go for treatment anywhere.

Premiums that include coverage in North America are normally much higher. Most plans taken out are Worldwide excluding North America unless you are a US citizen. Plans that do not cover North America for elective treatment will normally still cover you for emergency or unscheduled treatment if you happen to be there while on business or vacation for a short period.

Deductible or Excess
Using a deductible or excess is an effective way to keep premiums low and reduce administration.
