What isn’t covered by AIA’s health insurance policies?
Similar to other health insurance providers, exclusions vary between each policy, and centre largely around eligibility criteria for each level of cover.
What makes AIA health insurance different?
AIA’s health insurance policies provide the option to get exactly the care that you want in whatever circumstances you find yourself. Not only does it provide cover for non-Pharmac subsidised cancer treatment, but it includes benefits such as:
- Option to receive treatment overseas
- Enhancement Pass Back ensures any future improvements to AIA health insurance policies are automatically applied to your cover
