Am I Covered?
COVID-19 Treatment - Your international insurance plan provides treatment for the Coronavirus
Disease (COVID-19), the same as any other illness, as long as it is not contracted prior to the start date of your
insurance plan and does not fall within any other policy exclusion or limitation.
COVID-19 Testing - Testing for COVID-19 is included in your insurance plan when it is medically
necessary because you are showing
signs and symptoms of COVID-19,
and must be ordered by your treating physician. Elective testing, testing when you have no signs or symptoms of
COVID-19, and the antibody test is not covered. There are free testing sites in the USA that you can visit if you
wish to have an elective test -
you can find testing sites near you here.
Seeking Treatment
If you are exhibiting any of the signs or symptoms of COVID-19, the recommendation is to:
- Get Tested
-
-
Locate a testing site here or take a COVID test at home.
-
Some at-home testing kits may be free but others you may have to pay for and will not be covered by your insurance plan.
- If You Test Positive
-
-
Stay at home and self-isolate.
-
If you feel worse and need to seek medical treatment, your plan includes access to visit a virtual
doctor through Teladoc for no additional fee.
- Visiting your Doctor or Hospital
-
-
If your situation worsens or becomes a life-threatening emergency situation, make your way to the nearest Doctor/Hospital.
-
Locate a Doctor/Hospital and call ahead and inform them you are sick with COVID-19 and ask them what to do. They will make preparations and direct you to the correct place.

Does my Insurance Cover the COVID Vaccine?
