Unique selling points

Top tier (Schermo Totale) pays actual medical/hospital/surgical costs with no fixed ceiling, going beyond the fixed € 100,000/€ 500,000 caps of the other tiers.

Direct payment of urgent medical bills abroad via the 24/7 Centrale Operativa, so travellers do not have to advance cash for hospital treatment.

Home emergency assistance (electrician, locksmith, plumber) at the insured's home in Italy is included from the Media tier upward.

Optional trip cancellation cover up to € 10,000 can be added to any of the three tiers for extra flexibility.

Repatriation of remains and funeral expenses up to € 5,000 is guaranteed at the same level across all three tiers, including the entry-level Protezione Base.

La Società, in caso di malattia o infortunio dell'Assicurato in viaggio, tramite la Centrale Operativa, organizza ed eroga, 24 ore su 24, le seguenti prestazioni:

Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

All assistance and medical-expense benefits require the insured (or someone acting on their behalf) to contact the Centrale Operativa before receiving treatment; costs above € 500 without prior contact/authorisation are excluded outright.

Unauthorized treatment

No reimbursement is granted at all without any contact with the Centrale Operativa; if the insured refuses recommended sanitary transport/repatriation, further medical costs from the day after the refusal are not covered.

Purchase while abroad

The policy must be taken out before the trip begins, for trips not yet started and with return tickets already purchased; if issued after the departure date, the Company will not honour assistance or reimbursement claims.

Chronic conditions

Chronic diseases and their direct consequences, pre-existing at the start of the trip, are excluded from medical-expense cover.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is covered up to the 26th week of gestation; childbirth (natural or caesarean) and voluntary termination of pregnancy are always excluded.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Illnesses that are the expression or direct consequence of chronic or already-existing pathological situations at policy inception are excluded.

Coverage duration limit

Single-trip cover lasts a maximum of 100 days, reduced to 45 days for travellers who have already turned 65 at the time of purchase; the policy can only be underwritten for insureds up to 75 years of age (validity continues to expiry for those turning 76 during the contract).

Direct payment

AXA Assistance's 24/7 Centrale Operativa can settle eligible urgent medical, hospital and surgical expenses directly with the treating provider abroad, so the insured does not need to pay upfront, provided the Centrale Operativa is contacted and authorises treatment in advance; otherwise only reimbursement, subject to sub-limits and a €50 deductible, applies.

Territorial scope

Assistance and medical expense benefits apply within the destination selected in the policy; the Assistenza Parenti a Casa and Assistenza all'Abitazione benefits apply only in Italy.
