What the documents actually say
Every figure above was read out of a document. These are the sentences, word for word, so you can check them rather than take our word for it.
“It's important to note that this policy is not a general health insurance policy, but rather is intended for use by the insured in the event of sudden and unexpected sickness or accident arising when the insured are outside their home country.”
“We offer four different travel plans: the Gold Plan, Premium Plan, Schengen Plan, and Student Plan.”
