Covered

24/7 assistance

Covered

Genertel, through the Europ Assistance operations center (doctors, technicians and operators active 24 hours a day, every day of the year), provides travel assistance services (medical repatriation, travel for a family member, early return, interpreter abroad) when the insured is in difficulty, contactable via a toll-free number available also from abroad.

Clause Art. 1.2Page Pagina 1 di 7

Section: Sezione 1 - INFORTUNI / MALATTIA IMPROVVISA > Art. 1.2 - Assistenza in viaggio

Genertel - attraverso la Centrale Europ Assistance - presterà assistenza all'Assicurato nel caso in cui questi si trovi in difficoltà a seguito di un sinistro, oggetto di una delle prestazioni di seguito indicate.

Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

No fixed deadline is stated for calling the assistance center; the insured must telephone Europ Assistance (available 24/7, including from abroad) as soon as they need one of the guaranteed assistance services, and services are only due when the event occurs more than 100 km from the insured's home municipality.

Unauthorized treatment

If the insured intentionally fails to notify Genertel of a claim or to fulfil other contractual obligations (e.g. allowing medical checks), the right to indemnity is forfeited; if the failure is negligent rather than intentional, Genertel may reduce the indemnity in proportion to the prejudice suffered, pursuant to Art. 1915 of the Italian Civil Code.

Purchase while abroad

The policy documents do not explicitly address purchasing the policy while already abroad; cover operates from the later of the contract's start date or the adhesion date, until the expiry date, with no automatic renewal.

Chronic conditions

Chronic or pre-existing conditions are excluded from cover. In addition, if Genertel becomes aware that the insured suffers from alcoholism, drug addiction, HIV infection, or insulin-dependent diabetes, the provisions on aggravation of risk under Art. 1898 of the Civil Code apply, regardless of an actual assessment of the insured's health at policy inception.

Pregnancy

The policy documents contain no specific provisions regarding pregnancy or pregnancy-related complications.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Pre-existing illnesses — i.e. illnesses that are the expression or direct consequence of chronic or pre-existing pathological conditions at the time the insurance is taken out — are excluded from cover.

Coverage duration limit

No fixed maximum trip duration is stated in the general conditions; the premium is calculated using a 'vacation week' as the pricing unit, and cover operates for the full duration of the trip stated in the policy, from the later of the start date or adhesion date to the expiry date, without automatic renewal.

Direct payment

Hospitalisation expenses from an accident or sudden illness are reimbursed up to the sum insured stated in the policy, net of a fixed €150 deductible; medical repatriation is organised by the Europ Assistance operations centre and carried out entirely at Genertel's expense.

Territorial scope

Cover is worldwide, but the guarantees do not operate in countries that are in a state of declared or de facto war/belligerency.
