unlimited
All policyholders receive unlimited 24/7 access to the ÎntreabăMedic chat medical service: instant messaging (WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram or SMS) consultations with licensed doctors authorized to practice in Romania, provided by Groupama's partner. Available from the departure date for a minimum of 30 days (up to the full policy duration). Also includes access to the 24/7 emergency dedicated line 0374.110.115. Activation required via https://intreabamedic.abi.ai/ and must be done in advance (if policy issued 1 day before departure, activation may take 2–4 business days). No medications can be prescribed through this service.
Key conditions
Assistance call deadline
The insured must contact the insurer at the phone number on the policy within a maximum of 48 hours of the occurrence of the insured event, in order to benefit from direct settlement. For reimbursement of costs already paid, documentation must be submitted as soon as possible after the end of the trip, within a maximum of 30 days of the insured event.
Unauthorized treatment
If the insured does not call the assistance company within 48 hours for events requiring direct settlement, or does not follow the instructions of the medical/roadside assistance company, the insurer may refuse payment of the indemnity if it was unable to determine the cause of the insured event or the extent of the damage. Foreign-language documents must be accompanied by an authorized translation at the insured's expense.
Purchase while abroad
The insurance must generally be concluded before departure from Romania (the country of citizenship/residence). Coverage begins only after the insured physically crosses the border of Romania (or their country of citizenship/residence) — entry into the international area of airports of these countries does not constitute departure. However, for the STORNO supplementary insurance, coverage may be purchased up to the day of departure (subject to the fulfillment of specific conditions set out in the STORNO specific conditions).
Chronic conditions
Chronic diseases or pre-existing conditions are generally excluded. By exception, only the first necessary emergency service (life-saving medical assistance or acute pain relief, or medical repatriation if recommended) is covered, up to a maximum of 1,000 EUR. The insured is advised to carry a brief medical history of their chronic condition/treatment to facilitate emergency assistance.
Pregnancy
Medical assistance and repatriation for pregnancy, childbirth, abortion (including therapeutic), voluntary termination of pregnancy, infertility treatment, and artificial insemination are excluded. By exception, in case of a medical emergency due to existing pregnancy or spontaneous birth, only emergency medical costs to save the life of the mother and/or child are covered, up to a maximum of 500 EUR, and only if the first service is organized exclusively by the medical assistance company.
Pre-existing condition exclusions
Any pre-existing medical condition (diagnosed before the policy start date, or for which symptoms appeared before the start date, or which presents a risk of relapse) is excluded. Exception: the insurer covers only the first necessary service (life-saving emergency medical assistance, acute pain relief, or medical repatriation if recommended) up to a maximum of 1,000 EUR, conditional on the first service being organized exclusively through the assistance company.
Coverage duration limit
Coverage is valid for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 365 days per trip. If an illness or accident occurring abroad requires hospitalization after the policy expires, the insurer extends coverage for medical assistance abroad and repatriation by up to 30 days for the initial event (within the sum insured), with continued access to the Chat Medical service. The insured cannot benefit from a new policy's coverage during this extended period.
