COVID-19 treatment
COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) treatment costs are reimbursed only when emergency medical care is provided in an inpatient facility for at least 48 hours without interruption and costs are not covered by a third party. Coverage applies only if the medical expenses risk is selected in the policy. Self-isolation costs and COVID tests are not reimbursed. The inpatient COVID-19 sub-limit is EUR 40,000 (EUR 10,000 if Belarus territory is selected in policy).COVID-19 is not explicitly excluded under the 2026 T&C provided the illness first manifested during the trip (qualifies as an acute illness). However, if COVID-19 was declared as an epidemic or pandemic by state authorities before the insured's departure, it is excluded under clause 1.3.1.12. Coverage is therefore conditional on the absence of a pre-departure official declaration.COVID-19 is not explicitly mentioned in the policy. As an acute illness with a sudden onset abroad during the policy period requiring emergency medical assistance, it could fall within the general scope of the medical expenses and repatriation cover, subject to general exclusions (e.g. chronic conditions, known pre-existing illness). Coverage is not guaranteed and depends on individual circumstances.Covered

Failure to notify without justifiable cause may result in up to a 20% reduction in the benefit if the insurer loses the ability to negotiate directly with the healthcare provider.

If the insurance contract is concluded while the insured is already abroad (outside Lithuania), coverage does not take effect until 5 calendar days after the contract conclusion date. For contracts purchased online or via remote means, coverage begins no earlier than 24 hours after full premium payment.If the insured is already abroad on the date the insurance contract is concluded, the contract takes effect and the insurer's liability begins 14 days after the conclusion date, provided the premium has been duly paid on time.If the insured is abroad at the time of contract conclusion, coverage commences 2 calendar days after the contract conclusion and premium payment date, but no earlier than the coverage start date stated in the policy certificate. This waiting period does not apply if the contract was concluded before departure.The insurance contract is not valid if it was concluded while the insured person was already abroad, except where the contract starts no earlier than 7 calendar days after the conclusion date.

Acute exacerbations of chronic illnesses are covered if emergency medical assistance is required and cannot be deferred. Known, ongoing or previously treated conditions are excluded. Pre-existing conditions diagnosed or treated before the contract date are not covered (clause 6.2.1).Chronic and congenital diseases and their complications and exacerbations are excluded from coverage.

Unauthorized treatment
If the insured undergoes treatment with a provider not pre-agreed with BTA (where the policy specifies the need to call BTA before seeking care), reimbursement is limited to the amount BTA would have paid its own partner providers. Expenses for surgery that was not urgent (could have waited more than 24 hours from admission) are not reimbursed unless pre-approved in writing by BTA.If the insured obtains treatment without contacting the insurer or its representative, and this was avoidable, the insurer may reduce or refuse the claim. If the insured fails to use public health system facilities where available, the insurer may require the insured to be transported (at insurer cost) to a public or insurer-designated facility. Failure to perform duties under the policy may result in reduction or denial of the benefit.The insurer may reduce the insurance benefit if the insured fails to fulfil the obligation to use compulsory health insurance (NHIF) entitlements for inpatient treatment services. The reduction equals the amount that would have been reimbursed by the NHIF. Additionally, inpatient services must not be used without prior written confirmation from ERGO, except in cases where any delay is not medically justified. Body repatriation and accompaniment/visiting services require prior written confirmation from ERGO.If the insured seeks medical treatment without first contacting the assistance company (and this was possible), the insurer reserves the right to reduce or refuse the benefit. Specifically, if the insurer loses the opportunity to negotiate treatment costs directly with the healthcare provider due to late notification without justifiable cause, the benefit may be reduced by up to 20%.
Pre existing conditions
Health conditions that were known or could have been known before the contract, or that began before the contract was concluded, are excluded regardless of whether they were being treated. Congenital diseases and their exacerbations are also excluded. Acute exacerbations of chronic illness are covered only as emergency care.Pre-existing conditions are generally excluded. Emergency first aid and repatriation for an unexpected acute exacerbation of a chronic condition are covered up to a combined EUR 2,000, provided the exacerbation could not have been anticipated by standard medical practice. Treatment of specifically enumerated diseases (epilepsy, diabetes, cirrhosis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, cancer, AIDS/HIV, STDs) and prophylactic examinations are always excluded.Pre-existing conditions (consulted, treated, or medicated in the 6 months prior to departure) are excluded. Emergency life-threatening treatment for chronic/congenital conditions is the only exception. Addiction, oncological, and STD/HIV conditions are absolute exclusions. Known health conditions that arose in the 12 months prior to contract conclusion are excluded from trip cancellation cover.Pre-existing medical conditions are generally excluded. Only acute illnesses — defined as sudden, unexpected deteriorations in health threatening life or wellbeing that begin abroad during the insurance period and require emergency medical assistance — are covered. Conditions for which treatment was planned before departure, chronic conditions, and conditions that first manifested before the trip are excluded.
Coverage duration limit
For single-trip policies, emergency medical treatment costs during hospitalisation are reimbursed for up to 30 days from the last day the policy is valid. For multi-trip ('Daugkartinis') policies, the same 30-day limit applies from the last valid day of the specific trip covered under the annual policy. The maximum number of days per trip under a multi-trip policy is stated in the policy schedule.The insurance contract is currently available only for trips not exceeding 30 days. Coverage begins when the insured crosses the Lithuanian border and ends no later than when the insured crosses back into Lithuania. If the insured cannot return due to health reasons, coverage for that condition extends for up to 30 additional days beyond the policy end date.For single-trip policies, coverage applies for the number of days stated in the policy certificate but no later than the policy end date. For multi-trip (annual) policies, coverage for a single trip is limited to the number of days stated in the policy certificate. If a covered event arises during a multi-trip period and inpatient treatment continues beyond the last covered day, the medical expenses cover is extended by up to 28 additional calendar days. Coverage cannot extend beyond 28 calendar days after the policy end date for ongoing treatment of a covered condition.Individual travel insurance is typically limited to a maximum of 30 days per trip. This condition must be stated in the insurance policy. Longer trips may require annual or multi-trip coverage.
Proof and next steps
Direct payment policy
BTA organises direct payment to medical facilities through its assistance partners; if the insured contacts a provider not pre-approved by BTA, reimbursement is limited to the cost BTA would have paid its own partners. Medical evacuation costs must be pre-agreed in writing with BTA before the service begins.The insurer (via assistance partner OPS LT) coordinates and directly pays covered medical costs when the insured contacts the insurer or its representative within 24 hours of the loss. If the insured pays out of pocket due to circumstances beyond their control, they must report to the insurer within 7 days of returning to Lithuania with supporting documentation for reimbursement.ERGO's medical assistance partner Euro Asista (tel. +370 52 322 944, claims@euroasista.lt) can arrange direct payment to healthcare providers abroad. Before seeking medical care in the USA, Canada or Australia, the insured must contact ERGO or Euro Asista to indicate the healthcare facility. For outpatient treatment and medicines not exceeding 500 EUR, the insured pays and claims reimbursement.The assistance company (UAB OPS International, +370 5 203 4440, available 24/7) arranges direct payment to healthcare providers where possible. The insured must contact the assistance company before or immediately after seeking treatment. If the insured pays out-of-pocket, reimbursement is available upon submission of documents online.
