Now Health - Evacuation And Repatriation Cover

Whilst Now Health International, providers of Global Health Insurance, cannot cover their customers for medical care resulting from chemical exposure including radiation or contamination, the company does provide cover for injuries and care required following a natural disaster. In the event of a critical life-threatening medical condition while living abroad, Now Health will use its Emergency Assistance Service to evacuate customers with expat insurance to the nearest medical facility for immediate care.
Their phone lines are open all day and night; every day of the year, so if a customer has an emergency, there is always a team at hand to make arrangements. Now Health has local clinical teams on the ground in the UK, Dubai and Hong Kong so they can tap into their local knowledge to get the best possible care for the customer.
Now Health also covers transportation costs in the event of emergency treatment, travel costs to and from medical appointments including the cost incurred by a companion and costs for hospital accommodation.
Where repatriation is needed, Now Health's plans cover the cost of an airfare ticket for the person insured and an accompanying person. The customer will be repatriated to either their country of nationality or principal country of residence, whichever one they choose.
Now Health International also cover injuries sustained as an act of terrorism, war and illegal acts if the injured party was an innocent bystander of the event.
Tim Mutton, Business Development Director, Now Health International comments:
"We offer comprehensive cover in the event of a natural disaster. Our customer's safety and wellbeing during an emergency such as the Japanese earthquake is our top priority however. Our service promise also ensures that claims and enquiries are handled quickly and efficiently."
If any Now Health customer is caught up in an emergency situation, they can call any of our emergency numbers and there will always be someone on hand to help.
