Is pre-existing illness covered under medical & emergency expenses?

No, we don't cover pre-existing conditions initially. However, we do provide first medical aid for emergencies, which includes treatment at hospitals, surgeries, and ambulance services. If it turns out that your condition existed before you got the insurance, we won't cover any further treatments related to it. If your initial coverage limit is reached before we can determine if it's a pre-existing condition, we'll keep providing assistance until we have a diagnosis. If it's not pre-existing, you'll get the regular medical benefits. But if it is, you'll need to pay for any extra costs beyond the initial limit and any excess charges.

What happens to my travel insurance if my trip is cancelled?

Answer: If your trip is cancelled, your travel insurance typically covers the expenses. This includes reimbursement for unused travel, accommodation, meals, and prepaid activities due to unforeseen events such as death, injury, illness (excluding pre-existing conditions), court summonses, serious home damage, job loss, and more. The coverage starts from when you purchase the policy and lasts until you board your transportation.

What is over booking and does my policy cover it?

Answer: Overbooking happens when the airline sells more seats than they have available. If your flight is delayed by over 6 hours because of overbooking, the policy covers reasonable costs for meals, lodging, and airport transfers, as long as the airline or others didn't already provide these for free.

Is travel insurance typically required for Filipino travelers?

Answer: Travel insurance isn't required for traveling within the Philippines, or many other places in Asia and worldwide. But if you're heading to Schengen countries, you need international travel insurance, with at least 30,000 EUR coverage. While not necessarily needed elsewhere, we strongly recommend securing travel insurance to ensure a smoother and worry-free experience during your travels.
