The Bupa health insurance overseas comes in two forms of coverage: There is the Single Trip plan, and the Annual Multi-Trip Travel plan. The Single Trip is for those leaving their home country and returning after a period of time. The Annual Travel is a 12-month policy that provides coverage for multiple trips outside one’s home country; each trip can be up to one month, or extended for an extra premium. As stated, this policy is well known in Europe, and the insurance company is based out of Denmark. Why is it so well known in Europe? Probably because it is similar in coverage to national insurance for many European countries
The Bupa travel health insurance is great because you have unlimited coverage with a $0 deductible, while you travel outside of your home country. Included in this policy as is, are the many essential international health and travel insurance benefits such as: international Medical Evacuation insurance, outpatient, hospitalizations, Return Trip, Compassionate Emergency Visit, and more.
One of the important things is the process for medical evacuations. Medical evacuations occur when there is a medical necessity that cannot be treated locally, thus the insurance company will approve of an evacuation to the nearest adequate medical facility. It is imperative that you or someone with you contacts the insurance company, so the insurance company will not only pay for, but approve and arrange the medical evacuation.
There are also two additional Options that you can choose to add to coverage: The Non-Medical Option is for international travel insurance benefits as well as other unique provision. Personal Liability is included in this Option, as well as Baggage Delay, Trip Delay, and more. The second Option you may add is the Trip Cancellation Option, which provides a certain amount of international trip cancellation coverage to protect your finances against loss of deposit or prepaid amounts in case you cannot travel as planned.
