Smart Insurance Correduría de Seguros S.L. (trading as Heymondo)
Heymondo
Heymondo is a travel insurance for the Italy market with online purchase and 24/7 assistance.
Direct payment
For hospital and surgical expenses, IMA Italia Assistance can pay the medical facility directly provided the Assicurato (or someone on their behalf) contacts the 24/7 Struttura Organizzativa beforehand and obtains a case number; without prior contact, costs must be paid by the insured and reimbursed afterwards subject to sub-limits and the €75 deductible.
Geographic scope
Worldwide, according to the destination macro-area selected (Italia, Europa, Mondo escluso USA/Canada, Mondo incluso USA/Canada)
Cover applies only within the destination macro-area indicated on the Certificato di Assicurazione; for car trips cover starts beyond 50 km from the insured's residence; policyholders and insured persons must be resident or domiciled in Italy.
Unique selling points
- Premium tier offers unlimited medical expenses cover for trips to any country in the world, including the USA and Canada.
- 24/7 multilingual medical and travel assistance hotline with direct payment of hospital bills abroad where possible.
- Optional 'Franchigia Zero' add-on removes the standard €75 deductible on medical, baggage and trip-interruption claims.
- Parametric flight-delay benefit (VIP Lounge access or cash payout) triggers automatically once a registered flight is delayed by 2h30 or more, without needing to file a claim.
- Legal assistance abroad includes advance payment of criminal bail up to €6,000 on the Premium tier.
