Depending on the policy, we can cover Accidental Death and Disablement, Sickness and Accident Medical Expenses, and Medical Evacuation and Repatriation — with 24/7 claims support from international claims experts.
Unlike most insurance policies our cover includes war – declared or not, rebellion, civil war and terrorism.
Unlike other non-specialist insurers, we work hard to keep our list of exceptions to a minimum -- offering media professionals and agencies the flexible and
comprehensive cover they need to carry out their work without restriction.
