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.
