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.

Key conditions

Assistance call deadline

For medical assistance/hospitalization the insured must contact the 24/7 Struttura Organizzativa (+39 02.24128782) immediately, before taking any independent action; reimbursement claims must then be filed within 15 days (medical expenses, baggage, trip interruption), 5 days (flight-delay cancellation, perdita dei servizi), 3 days (accidents) or 30 days (personal liability) of the event.

Unauthorized treatment

No reimbursement is due for hospital/surgical or assistance expenses incurred without prior contact with the Struttura Organizzativa; failure to comply with the notification obligations can lead to total or partial loss of the right to indemnity under Art. 1915 of the Civil Code.

Purchase while abroad

The policy may be purchased after the trip has already started, but in that case cover becomes effective only from 00:00 of the 3rd day following issue, and the optional Annullamento Viaggio and VIP Lounge/parametric flight-delay guarantees cannot be added.

Chronic conditions

Persons suffering from chronic alcoholism, full-blown AIDS, drug addiction, organic cerebral pathologies (e.g. epilepsy) or psychiatric pathologies (e.g. schizophrenia, manic-depressive syndrome, paranoid disorders) are not insurable, regardless of a case-by-case health assessment.

Pregnancy

Illness related to pregnancy is covered as ordinary medical expense only up to the 26th week of gestation; complications after the 26th week, the puerperium, therapeutic abortion and childbirth are excluded from cover.

Pre-existing condition exclusions

Malattie Preesistenti (conditions diagnosed or being assessed before the policy purchase or trip enrolment) are excluded from cover, in particular under the Assistenza in Viaggio and Spese Mediche in Viaggio guarantees.

Coverage duration limit

Cover applies to trips of up to 365 days; the policy can be extended up to a cumulative maximum of 365 days of travel by paying the additional premium, but extensions are not permitted for insureds who have already had a claim involving hospitalization exceeding 7 days, and destination-based medical massimali do not accumulate across renewals.
