Travel Cover Summary
When you travel on authorised business in relation to your institution outside your Country of Domicile, (or within the Country of Domicile, if an overnight stay and/or travel by air is involved); you are covered by our group Travel scheme administered by U. M. Association Ltd. A summary of benefits and the services available is shown below 鈥 but please refer to your Insurance Officer or Administrator for the full terms and conditions of the cover
KEY POINTS
- This is not private medical insurance. You are not covered for routine, non-emergency treatment, any elective treatment or anything that can reasonably wait until your return home.
- For minor ailments, you should seek advice from a local pharmacist in the first instance. If the condition does not resolve, or if it worsens, you can contact International Medical Group (IMG) for advice on the best course of action. Contact details are on the back page of this document.
- Medical Expenses for treatment of Covid-19 are covered.
- Costs for Covid-19 tests are not covered.
- There is no cover under the Disruption section for anything arising out of Covid-19 other than Cancellation or Rearrangement solely due to the Person Covered contracting Covid-19 and being unable to depart on the Journey or return home at the end of the Journey (limit 拢1,000). Proof of positive PCR test will be required.
- Any evidence required in support of a claim must be provided by you at your own expense
- If travelling to a country that is subject to international sanctions you should check with your institution as to any special procedures that apply to ensure sanctions are not breached. We will not provide any cover or pay any claim that would expose us to any international sanctions.
- Claims must be notified to us as soon as possible but in any event within thirty days of the circumstances arising. See 鈥淚n the event of a claim鈥 for details of how to do so.
