Find out more about the essential benefits that come as standard on our Silver plan:
When people think of health insurance, they tend to think about hospital and hospital treatment. Some insurance providers have their own network of hospitals, which means you can only use the hospitals permitted by your provider. We don’t place any such restrictions on where you receive your medical treatment. This means you’ll always have access to the top-rated hospitals and medical clinics within your coverage zone.
If you’re admitted to hospital you are covered for:
Cancer can affect you anywhere, at any time. We’re committed to providing the strongest benefits to give you the best chance of overcoming cancer. We’ll also cover you for cancer genome testing, which sequences the genes of your cancerous cells to help determine the best course of treatment for you.
Finally, cancer is a condition that patients must often learn to live with. So we give you benefits for wigs following chemotherapy, counselling with a psychologist, and consultations with a dietitian.
Cancer cover includes:
There is no telling how the experience of moving to or living in another country can affect someone. Expats are at a higher risk of experiencing mental health issues than people living in their home country.
That’s why the Silver plan covers your mental health as well as your physical health.
Bronze plan mental health cover includes:
International health insurance isn’t just for serious health issues. What about when you just want to pop to the local doctor’s surgery or the pharmacy? With the Silver plan you have basic cover outpatient treatment (i.e. medical treatment for which you don’t need to be admitted to hospital) with the option to increase the limits on this cover.
You’re covered for:
If you have a medical emergency and the treatment that you urgently need isn’t available locally then we will arrange emergency medical evacuation.
We’ll evacuate you by road, sea or air if you suffer a life-threatening or limb-threatening condition that requires an immediate hospital treatment that is not possible locally.

Make your Silver plan work for you by customising it with our range of optional benefits, including:
All plans come with some cover for dental treatment, but with Silver you can choose to enhance your dental cover with Dental Basic.
This gives you cover for screening, scaling, polishing, sealing, filling, simple extractions and root canal treatment (subject to a 6-month waiting period).
Looking for more dental cover? If you’ve purchased Dental Basic, you can extend this cover to Dental Plus (subject to a 10 month waiting period).
This provides you with extra cover for dentures, denture repair, dental bridges, crowns, inlays, onlays and dental implants.
If you like to proactively look after your physical, mental and emotional health and well-being, you have the option to add well-being cover to your plan.
With well-being benefits you’ll get cover for preventative health checks, cancer screening and vaccinations, as well as developmental check-ups for children covered by your plan.
Emergency medical evacuation is a vital part of any expat’s medical coverage – that’s why it comes as standard on all our plans.
Adding Medevac Plus gives you greater peace of mind for your life abroad. Additional benefits include a lower threshold for evacuation for cancer tests and treatment that cannot be provided locally, advanced repatriation to your country of residence if within your coverage zone and additional costs for a companion to ensure you have a loved one with you for support.
Cashless access to outpatient treatment is an arrangement by which we settle your medical bills directly with your hospital or treating doctor, ensuring that you won’t be left out-of-pocket for your treatment, and you won’t have to submit a claim to us.
You can opt for cashless access with everyday medical costs such as doctor visits, specialist consultations and other outpatient treatments with a William Russell membership card.
Adding the optional personal accident plan cover is a great way to increase the cover provided by your health plan without breaking the bank.
With the personal accident plan, we’ll pay you a cash lump-sum benefit if an accident results in your death, loss of sight, loss of limb or your permanent and total disablement within 2 years of the accident.
