What does health insurance cover?
- All health insurances cover Covid-19 hospital treatment expenses.
- New health insurance policies cover Covid-19 hospital treatment after 30 days.
- Treatment costs for illness that is covered under the terms and conditions of the insurance policy.
- Treatment costs for accidental injuries (not self-inflicted).
- In-patient treatment is the minimum required purchase.
- Emergency Assistance and Evacuation is normally included.
- Out-patient treatment and dental cover are options for some insurance policies.
- Treatment costs are consistent with generally accepted standards of medical practice in the country in which treatment is being received.
- Treatment is clinically appropriate in terms of type, duration, location and frequency for that condition.
- The insurance company will only pay for reasonable and customary charges. Costs should not be more than they would normally charge to other patients in the same area. Hospitals that are overcharging will not be paid the full amounts billed to the insurance company. The excess charges have to be paid by you.
