Reminder: New Rates Effective September 19, 2024

We are committed to providing exceptional travel insurance products and assistance to your clients globally and we value our partnership.

As a result of several influencing factors, notably the escalating volume of claims and the upward trend in healthcare expenses across the globe, we are adjusting premiums for our Emergency Medical Care coverage for Individual, Package Plus, Annual and Top-Up plans only. Communicating adjustments to premiums are not always easy, but necessary. This ensures the high level of support and services we offer to you and your clients.

This change became effective on September 19, 2024.
