Reliance Health International

What Is International Health Insurance?

An international health insurance plan covers healthcare expenses for medical treatments overseas. It can pay for the medical expenses for a wide range of treatments, including cancer treatment, donor organ transplant, bone marrow transplant, heart valve repair or replacement, and more.

How does it Help?

International health insurance plans are specifically designed to help you manage the increasing costs of healthcare abroad.

What is its Main Objective?

The main objective of an international health insurance policy is to provide access to quality healthcare services for your medical concerns without worrying about their cost.

Does it Cover only Medical Costs?

From travelling to a foreign destination and receiving necessary treatments to staying for the entire duration of your treatment, we have it all covered. It is a comprehensive package for all your international healthcare needs.

Is it Flexible?

We offer global health insurance policies online for individuals and families, with shared sum insured options. You can personalise the health insurance coverage by choosing a specific policy option, determining the sum insured, policy period and more.

How to Access the Benefits?

We extend a hassle-free claim settlement process in a few simple steps to ensure a smooth global health insurance experience.

How Does
Global Health Insurance Work?

Why Do You Need
International Health Insurance?

To Cover High Costs of Medical Treatments Abroad

Health insurance plans in India don’t cover overseas medical treatments. An overseas health insurance plan ensures coverage for the high costs of medical treatments incurred in any country outside India.

To Cover Planned Treatments

While travel insurance covers unprecedented expenses during your trip, it doesn’t cover planned treatments abroad. With a global health insurance plan, you can cover the cost of any specialised planned treatments.

To Secure Comprehensive Coverage

An international health insurance policy covers inpatient treatment, pre- and post-hospitalisation expenses, travel and accommodation expenses, and more.

To Gain Access to Best Quality Treatments

Since health insurance plans in India don’t cover expenses abroad, you might miss out on opportunities for overseas treatments. With an international health insurance plan, you can also get access to the best medical treatments without worrying about their expenses.

For Peace of Mind

With global healthcare insurance and its coverage for planned treatments abroad, you can live with peace of mind.
