Healthcare

Self Employed?
The objective of income replacement cover is to provide a regular income if you become unable to worth through illness or injury and suffer a loss of earnings. This is essential cover for the self employed and contractors who earn money by the hours or day and do not have the security of employer-paid sick leave and may find themselves in financial difficulties fairly quickly without a contingency plan in place.
International Coverage
The international healthcare plans we offer automatically cover you ad your family for medical expenses and evacuation costs. If you opt for the "Global Travel plan" option, you'll also benefit from all the usual cancellation, baggage and other benefits you'd expect from an annual travel insurance plan.
Costs & Risks
The cost of cover depends on several factors including your age, income, past and present health and occupation. If your occupation exposes you to greater risk than an office based role, a full job description will be needed in order to provide you with a quotation. Additional information may be required if you participate in hazardous pastimes such as diving or climbing.

  • How long you want the cover to last for (max to age 65)

Regular monthly or yearly payments must be made to keep the cover in force. A monthly income is paid for as long as the claim is valid.
