Many plans offered through Pacific Prime include direct billing. This means that your insurer will pay your medical costs directly to the hospital at no initial cost to you. You won’t need to worry about paying upfront for any treatments or having to claim back the money with your insurer later on. If you are interested in letting your insurer handle all the bills directly, talk to us about direct billing networks.
Renewable policies
You can get individual international insurance plans that are lifetime renewable, meaning that medical costs continue to be covered by the insurer for your whole life.
Cover for specific activities
Cover for specific activities such as various sports, skydiving, and even bungee jumping will be available under an individual international health insurance plan.
