We accept credit/debit cards, or bank transfer payments. You can choose to pay in full, two semi-annual payments or four quarterly payments.
Our plans are available in US Dollars, Pound Sterling and Euros. Please contact us if you would like a Pound Sterling or Euro healthcare plan.
You have a 14 days cooling off period from the date you receive the policy documentation to review your benefits. Within this period you can cancel your policy and be refunded any payments received, free of charge.
If you decide to cancel after this period and no claims were made, we will arrange a pro-rata refund of premium paid minus an administration fee. Please find further details on the Plan Overview or policy documents.

7. I’m an expat. What happens to my policy when I return to my home country?
If you are returning home for a short period, then you will be covered.
If you are returning home permanently, please inform us of your new residential address in case this affects your terms of cover.
For USA or Canadian nationals who return to their home countries for a period of more than 3 months, your cover will cease with effect from the date of your return.
In order to help our clients keep their prices low, our healthcare plans are fully medically underwritten, meaning pre-existing conditions will not be covered when you apply. Depending on your circumstances, we could review these exclusions upon renewal.
We also offer medical history disregarded (MHD) underwriting for groups depending on size and history. Please contact us for a quotation about this.
