For a full description, have a look at the summary of benefits within our brochure.
We help make quality cover more affordable by including a range of cost control options as standard.
For example, your plan will include:
Your dedicated client director will set up your plan, answer your questions and explain all your options – so you can be sure you’re choosing the most suitable levels of cover.
They can also keep you updated on how your team is using the plan. You'll receive annual performance information reports, plus a dashboard that shows you what your employees are claiming for at a glance.
Your online account is available at any time and gives you easy access to manage your company's healthcare plan. You'll be able to access a full list of employees on your plan as well as amending their details, lapsing them, and adding new employees.
A high quality international health insurance plan doesn’t just help to keep your people healthy. It’s a vital tool to help your employees feel confident about progressing their career abroad – a valuable reassurance, and another reason to stay with you long-term.

Our in-country resources help to introduce plans for employees based in places such as the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, Australia or the Netherlands.
The plans also don’t cover:
This list is not exhaustive; the full list of what’s not included is detailed in the handbook.
With our tailored plan, you can choose extra options to help control your costs.
We have several different ways to cover existing conditions. You can choose different options (underwriting styles) for different employee groups.
If your claims are less than 75% of your premium (minus tax and commission) in your first year, we’ll keep your rates the same for your first renewal. We include this guarantee on all new plans.
You can add different excess options to your employees’ plans to help control costs.
You can increase or decrease treatment allowances for specific groups of employees – allowing you to boost cover for employees who need extra, while keeping an eye on costs.
You can choose to add-on our Mind Health service2, which connects your employees with a fully qualified psychologist who will provide them the support they need from wherever they are in the world. Whether that’s one phone call or a course of up to six talking sessions.
With our profit share option, we’ll pay you back if your employees' claims add up to less than 75% of your premium (minus tax and commission) over the first two years. We’ll pay back 50% of the difference between your total claims and 75% of your premium. We offer profit share on all our new plans.
We offer stop loss cover on all new plans. This reduces the impact of high claims on your renewal premium. We’ll continue to cover your employees no matter how much they claim up to the benefit limits, but when we calculate your renewal premium, we’ll ignore any part of their claim over £35,000 / €44,500 / $56,000. We’ll simply absorb the extra costs ourselves.
