Additional coverage options are available in the Travel Health Plans BUPA-IHI provide. In addition to the standard health care plan, individuals can also select non-medical benefits such as personal accident, theft, baggage damage or loss, personal liability, flight delay, or trip cancellation.

Travel health insurance is designed to cover acute illness and injury for the duration of your trip abroad. Generally, this will include unexpected illnesses or accidents that required medical assistance. If you suffer from a health condition, prior to your trip, than this will normally not be covered in your Travel Health Insurance plan. However in some cases, a pre-existing illness can be covered if the condition has been stable in the six months prior to the commencement of the plan. Our advisers can assist you with any questions regarding Travel Health Insurance and provide you with further information in relation to coverage benefits included in the policy.
