Or policy only covered serious cases, and changing your mind is not one of them.

Also, it is best that you keep the soft and hard copies of those documents for any future use.

No victims of accidents abroad or domestic predict that they were about to be hit by a car or even motorbikes, it is called ‘an accident’ for a reason.

Specifically, we it’s a no-no for us to pay for your scaling, crowning, fillings, orthodontics procedure and any other dental care procedures as it is not considered to be an emergency medical care. It’s deemed as a basic dental care and as a result that expenses will be from your own pockets.

Of course, travel insurance covers Accidental Death Insurance

We do however, provide an optional add-ons for activities relating to extreme sports as aforementioned, so unless you purchased it, we would not back you up if you were ever to file a claim.
