Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

The terms do not set a fixed number of hours to call the helpline, but If has the right to direct the insured to its chosen medical provider; if the insured instead chooses their own provider without contacting If's 24/7 travel assistance, reimbursement is limited to what treatment would have cost at If's designated provider.

Unauthorized treatment

If the insured uses a self-chosen treatment provider instead of one designated by If, the company will reimburse only the amount that treatment would have cost at its own chosen provider.

Purchase while abroad

Travel insurance is intended to be taken out before departure for an upcoming trip; the cancellation benefit specifically requires the policy to be purchased and paid at least 3 days before the trip begins and the cancellation cause must not have already emerged when the policy was taken out or the trip booked.

Chronic conditions

If a chronic illness or condition unrelated to the covered accident or illness substantially contributes to the injury or delays recovery, medical expense, daily allowance and disability benefits are paid only to the extent attributable to the covered accident or illness.

Pregnancy

Medical costs due to pregnancy or childbirth are not covered, except for first-aid type treatment at the destination for conditions arising before pregnancy week 29, limited to one week.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Illnesses or injuries that had already appeared, with clear symptoms, before the insurance took effect are not covered; only a sudden, unexpected worsening of a pre-existing condition is covered as first-aid treatment at the destination for up to one week.

Coverage duration limit

Continuous travel insurance covers single trips of up to 45 consecutive days abroad; medical expenses from illness are covered for up to 90 days from the start of treatment and from accidents for up to 3 years; the continuous policy for medical benefits ends at age 90.

Direct payment

For treatment at If's contracted clinics/hospitals abroad, bills are typically sent directly to If; if the insured instead uses a self-chosen provider, If reimburses only the amount treatment would have cost at its own designated provider.

Territorial scope

The continuous policy covers foreign trips lasting up to 45 consecutive days; fixed-term (single-trip) policies cover only foreign travel for the agreed period
