Discuss changes of country, home visits and a possible return before taking out a policy.
Retirees also need an individual review of age, residence and existing cover with a specialist.
Geographical cover and benefits depend on the policy. BEP coordinates introductions; the specialist provides individual assessment.
International medical cover applies within the contractually agreed geographical area. Options may include or exclude the USA. Countries, benefits and exclusions need to fit your circumstances.
Discuss your new residence with the insurer before moving. A change may affect eligibility, premiums or cover. Local compulsory insurance requirements need separate checking.
Ask about outpatient and inpatient treatment, pre-existing conditions, deductibles, benefit limits, home visits, renewal and medical evacuation. Included benefits depend on the specific contract.
BEP records your enquiry and coordinates an introduction to a specialist partner. Individual insurance advice, policy assessment and any purchase are handled by the relevant specialist.
Please do not send diagnoses or medical records to BEP. Provide medical information directly through the specialist’s secure process.
