How to choose the right insurance plan

Choosing the right international insurance plan can be a daunting task! For many, the insurance terms and wording that is used does not make much sense or you simply don't understand what something means. Don't worry, you are not the only one to have questions or want to find out information - and hopefully we can provide the right information in an easy to understand format.

Of course, you must always remember that our friendly staff are on hand to help you along the way - so whether you want to send an email, or give us a call we will do our best to help you out and get you the information you need.

When choosing coverage, first ask youself two very simple questions:

1. For how long do I need coverage?
2. What benefits and functionality will I need?

Once you have answered these two questions you are halfway there in working out which plans are right for you!

For how long will I need coverage?

The length of coverage you require will alter greatly the plans that you will need to look at. For example, if you will be travelling for just 6 weeks then that makes it simple as you will want to look at either the Atlas America (for non-US Citizens) or the Atlas International (for US Citizens).

If you are travelling for longer than this, then your options open up, and the following table summarizes the plans we offer:

What benefits and functionality will I need?

As you can see from the above table, if you are travelling for 6 months then there is some overlap with the plans that are available to you. So what you have to do now is to work out which plan will be more applicable for your situation. The best way to do this is to look at the main functionalities and benefits of the plans in order to compare the two. The following table summarises the main benefits of each of our plans:

So to give you an example, if you were travelling for 6 months you would have the option of either the Atlas International, Atlas America, or Student Secure.

Of course, there are many other features and options you will have to think about when choosing the right international health and travel insurance plan and this page is only designed to give you an idea and direction in choosing the right plan.
