This Benefit Guide sets out the standard benefits and rules of your group health insurance policy. Please read this guide in conjunction with your Insurance Certificate and Table of Benefits.

Your Insurance Certificate details the plan(s) and geographical area of cover that your company has chosen for you and your dependants (if relevant) as well as the start date and renewal date of your cover. For underwritten policies, this document will also state any special terms that apply to your cover. Please note that we will send you a new Insurance Certificate if we need to record any changes requested by your company or which we are entitled to make, or if, with your company’s approval and our acceptance, you request a change such as adding a dependant.

Your Table of Benefits outlines the plan(s) selected by your company and the associated benefits available to you. In addition, it specifies any benefits/treatments which require submission of a Treatment Guarantee Form and confirms any benefits to which specific benefit limits, waiting periods, deductibles and/or co-payments apply. Your Table of Benefits will be issued using the currency agreed with your company (or with you, if you pay for the insurance premium).

For full details of your company’s insurance contract, please contact your company’s Group Scheme Manager. Please note that the terms and conditions of your membership may be changed from time to time by agreement between your company and Allianz Worldwide Care.

When emailing, please include “Urgent – Evacuation/Repatriation” in the subject line.
