Summary of cover 

What's included?

 

Medical advice and treatment planning

If you or a loved one are diagnosed with a critical illness, your Preferred Care plan will kick in straight away.

 

Personal care manager and medical team

Your personal care manager is a trained medical professional. Along with an expert medical team, they will help you and your family to understand your options and choose the right treatment plan. We’ll then make arrangements for your treatment at a top-ranking hospital in the USA.

 

Cover for 6 of the most serious critical illnesses

  • Cancer treatment
  • Heart surgery for coronary artery bypass or valve replacement

  • Neurosurgery for tumours and vascular repair
  • Major vascular surgery

Coverage for pre-existing conditions

Unlike many health care programmes, with Preferred Care pre-existing conditions are not automatically excluded forever. After you have had your Preferred Care policy for 2 years – and providing you have had 4 consecutive years without any treatment or evidence of the condition – you can apply for the condition to be included in your coverage. We will decide whether we are able to cover you on a case-by-case basis.
