24/7 assistance helpline
Covered
A dedicated Assistance Platform operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to organise and deliver assistance benefits on the insured's request (tel. 0039 023690695, email [email protected]).
Section: GLOSSARIO E DEFINIZIONI
Centrale Operativa di Assistenza: si intende la struttura, in funzione 24 ore su 24 tutti i giorni dell’anno, che organizza ed eroga le prestazioni di assistenza della presente Polizza, su richiesta dell’Assicurato, ed i contatti sono riportati nella Sezione III – Obblighi in caso di Sinistro, Capitolo 2 della presente Polizza.
Key conditions
Assistance call deadline
The insured (or a family member, travel companion, authority or medical facility on their behalf) must contact the 24/7 Assistance Platform immediately when any Section A assistance benefit is needed, or as soon as objectively possible if immediate contact is impossible, and always before taking any personal initiative; failure to do so may forfeit the right to the assistance benefit under art. 1915 of the Italian Civil Code.
Unauthorized treatment
Costs of assistance services organised directly by the insured, or in any case without the Assistance Platform's prior authorisation, are excluded from cover (save for genuinely urgent situations where prior contact was impossible); if the insured disregards the Platform's medical instructions (e.g. discharges themselves against medical advice or refuses the prescribed transport/repatriation), AIG immediately suspends assistance and reimburses further hospital/surgical costs only up to the cost of the refused transport.
Purchase while abroad
Not permitted: to be valid the policy must be issued to cover the entire duration of a trip departing from Italy and must be issued before the trip begins; it cannot be purchased once the insured is already abroad or the trip has started.
Chronic conditions
Chronic conditions are not addressed as a separate category; a chronic illness that was the subject of medical consultation, care or treatment, or that manifested, in the 12 months preceding policy issuance falls under the 'Malattia o Infortunio Preesistente' (pre-existing condition) exclusion and is not covered.
Pregnancy
Cover excludes a trip undertaken if the expected delivery date falls within the 12 weeks preceding the end of the booked trip (16 weeks for multiple pregnancy), and excludes medical expenses for a pregnancy condition already known before the trip began.
Pre-existing condition exclusions
Defined as any illness, injury or medical condition that — whether or not diagnosed at the time of purchasing the insurance — was the subject of consultation or examination by a qualified doctor and/or of care or treatment, or that manifested or was contracted, in the 12 months preceding the date the policy was issued; such conditions are excluded from all guarantees.
Coverage duration limit
The policy covers a single trip for a maximum of 180 days from the 'Data di effetto della copertura' stated in the insurance certificate; any claim occurring after that term is not covered.
Direct payment
Emergency medical expenses may be reimbursed to the insured or, at the insured's express request and where the local facility accepts it, paid directly by AIG in local currency; assistance costs approved and organised by the 24/7 Assistance Platform (transport, evacuation, hospital transfer, repatriation) are paid directly by AIG, while costs incurred in urgent situations where the platform could not be contacted in advance may be reimbursed on presentation of documentation.
Territorial scope
Cover excludes travel in, to or through Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and the Republic of Crimea in all cases
Exclusions
Excluded travel destinations
The policy explicitly excludes coverage for travel to or through Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea region.
