coins24Preventative Care

Your 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.

optical careOptical Care

Changes to your eyesight are inevitable. That’s why Expatriate Healthcare provide a benefit covering the cost of an annual eye examination 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).

coins24Maternity Care

We 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.

coins24Complementary Medicine / Therapies

Should you be prescribed complementary treatment, we cover chiropractic help, osteopathy, homeopathy and acupuncture.

coins2424hr Emergency Assistance

In 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 our multilingual 24-hour support partner, we will liaise with you, your family and the local healthcare services, keeping you continually updated.

24 hour Emergency Medical Assistance is standard on all of our international healthcare plans.

coins24AIDS/HIV and Chronic Conditions

We 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.
