I would like to welcome you to Expatriate Healthcare: we are a company whose sole purpose is to provide products and services to protect you and your family whilst you are living and working overseas. Because that’s all we do, we can focus all of our attention on making sure that you are provided with the right plans and a first class service.

Expatriate Healthcare was established at the start of the century as a private medical insurer for expatriates and since then we have grown our suite of products beyond healthcare to provide you with a total personal protection solution. This includes comprehensive products for travel, life, income replacement and our flagship international private medical insurance.

We take great pleasure in the service we provide our customers and proudly display recent feedback we have received on our website at www.expatriatehealthcare.com, so please don’t just take our word for it – come online and see what others are saying about us.

As well as providing in-depth information about our services, the website also provides an opportunity to review the latest expat news, which we update daily, and obtain instant quotations for all the plans that we provide. As part of your experience with us, we’ll send you a monthly newsletter telling you the experiences of other expats all around the world.

At Expatriate Healthcare we understand that customers expect different things from their insurance. Our Healthcare plans have been designed with this in mind, providing sensibly priced products without compromising on benefits. We have also introduced Premium Rewards on our international plan, giving customers further control over their premium (see page 6 for more information).

Wherever you live, whatever your circumstances, we believe that Expatriate Healthcare is the right choice for you.

As our name would suggest, our plans are designed especially for youThe Expatriate Healthcare plans have been created by experienced insurance professionals, using the culmination of many years of knowledge in the global private medical insurance market, to bring to you a selection of plans to suit all requirements and budgets.

To provide plans which are rich in benefits, but sensible on price, the International Plan has been split into three product lines:

Covering the unexpectedThe Primary Plan has been designed to provide the essential elements of international private healthcare aimed at covering the high cost of hospitalisation treatment and evacuation cover.

Because we believe that your plan should cover all aspects of hospitalisation; your plan will include pre-hospitalisation tests and consultations, as well as post-hospital out-patient, consultations, tests and medication. Of course, the Emergency Assistance and Repatriation benefits are standard, to ensure that, wherever you are in the world, if treatment isn’t available where you are, we’ll make sure that you get to a hospital that can provide you with the appropriate care.

Every day assistanceThe Primary+ Plan provides all of the benefits of our Primary, as well as comprehensive outpatient cover; giving you access to your family doctor, outpatient specialists and physicians, alternative treatment (such as osteopathy, homeopathy and acupuncture).

We know that sometimes medical conditions can’t be cured with a single visit or course of medication. Therefore Primary+ also covers you in the event that you suffer from a chronic medical problem, where lifelong treatment, drugs and consultations can be a great financial burden.

Always thereThe Select Plan is simply one of the most comprehensive private medical insurance plans available. Select is aimed at providing a total solution to your healthcare needs. Not only does Select provide you with excellent cover in the event of an illness – it also provides preventative benefits, to help ensure that medical conditions are diagnosed and treated at the earliest possible stage.

The Select level of cover includes dentistry, maternity, optical care (including prescription glasses or contact lenses), an annual routine medical check-up, preventative heath screening (including mammograms, cervical smears, PST screening) and travel vaccinations.

Optical CareChanges to your eyesight are inevitable. That’s why Expatriate Healthcare provide a benefit covering the cost of an annual eye exam for each person insured under the policy.

Where there is a change to your prescription we will also cover you for the cost of prescription lenses (including standard contact lenses).

Complementary Medicine/TherapiesShould you be prescribed complementary treatment, we cover chiropractic help, osteopathy, homoeopathy and acupuncture.

Emergency AssistanceIn the event of an emergency, one simple call to Expatriate Healthcare’s assistance service provider and arrangements will be made for you to be transported to the nearest location

for appropriate treatment.Through AXA Assistance, our multilingual 24-hour support partner, we will liaise with you, your family and the local healthcare services, keeping you continually updated. AXA Assistance has 2,500 experienced employees in 37 countries, covering 5 continents.

AIDS/HIV and Chronic ConditionsWe understand that not all medical conditions can be cured.Chronic conditions usually require you to have regular check-ups, nursing

care and routine or daily medication. Thankfully, with the right medical support, many people can live a relatively normal life whilst suffering with a chronic condition. However, the financial implications can be devastating.We support you by providing benefits in respect of both HIV and chronic conditions.

Medical ExpensesWe provide cover for inpatient and outpatient medical costs, liaising with medical staff and ensuring that you are receiving appropriate treatment.

Should any member of your family fall ill and require emergency medical transportation, we provide a round-trip airfare ticket for one accompanying dependant insured under the policy.

Preventative CareYour health and well-being and that of those you love and value is of paramount importance. Expatriate Healthcare is committed to keeping you all healthy by providing regular

health checks and tests. These include vaccinations, annual medical check-ups and cervical smears.We even provide for prostate cancer screening and mammograms for the over 45’s.

Maternity CareWe know that when you are expecting a baby, you need to feel confident that appropriate care is available.Once you have been covered by the policy continuously for 12 months,

if you become pregnant, we provide for your antenatal appointments in the run up to the big day and for the delivery itself. And to get you back on your feet in those early days, we also allow for home nursing for 5 days after home delivery.

Dental CareYour general health and well-being also extends to your dental health. Good dental health requires regular and routine check-ups and resulting restorative treatment can be costly.

Expatriate Healthcare understand that prevention is always the better solution so we provide you with cover for routine check-ups and treatment plus, in the event of further treatment being required, both basic and major restorative treatment.

Providing financial security for your family’s future

A death in the family is a terrible event with which to have to come to terms. But what if that death occurs to one of the main income providers? Such a loss can have an even more significant effect on those left behind.

Level Term Life InsuranceLevel term life insurance protects your family from the financial loss that they would suffer in the event of your death. The policy pays a lump sum, as determined by you at the outset, in the event of your death occurring during the term of the insurance.

Level term life insurance provides cover for a fixed annual premium for the duration of the cover and you can select cover for a term of 1 to 10 years. The sum insured remains ‘level’ for the period of cover (it is not a reducing amount as provided for by some policies) so the full amount of the sum insured would be payable regardless of when a death occurred during the cover.

A couple may also choose to obtain cover on a dual life, first death basis. Providing protection against the death of both parties, with the sum being payable to the other in the event of a claim, or other nominated grantee.

Financial peace of mind for when you’re unable to work

Income Replacement Insurance protects you and your family by providing you with a lump sum payment if you can no longer attend your normal occupation due to accident or illness. The policy can be extended to provide you with a weekly benefit if your time away from work is likely to only be temporary.

Permanent Disability InsuranceWhat would you do if an accident or illness permanently stopped you from being able to attend your normal occupation? What alternative occupations are accessible? What would happen to your earning potential?

Expatriate Healthcare’s income replacement insurance pays you a lump sum in the event that you are unable to attend your normal occupation due to an accident or an illness – securing the financial future for you and your family.

Permanent Total Disability benefits are available up to ten times your normal gross annual salary, for people aged between 18 to 65 years of age.

Accidental DeathYour death is likely to have an affect on your family beyond the physical loss that is endured; the financial loss of the death of a primary wage earner is difficult to appreciate. A lump sum payment, decided by you at the outset of the policy, is paid to your designated grantee, affording your family with financial security in the event of your death. Cover is available for 18 – 65 year olds, with an amount payable of up to 10 times your gross annual salary.

Temporary Total InsuranceYou don’t have to be permanently disabled to suffer a financial loss. Long term disability through accident or illness is likely to affect your income and your ability to pay your bills.

Expatriate Healthcare Temporary Total Disability cover provides a number of choices to allow you to tailor cover to match your own personal circumstances. Benefits are payable weekly and are calculated based on your net weekly salary when the cover is purchased. Benefit payments can start from as soon as your 14th day of disability; payable for up to 2 years.

The weekly benefit payments provide you with the peace of mind to know that, when you can’t work through accident or illness, you will still be able to continue to meet your financial commitments.
