The companion benefit

The companion benefit (also called accompanying person benefit) in expat health insurance plays a crucial role in providing support during challenging times. Typically falling under evacuation or assistance benefits, it covers reasonable travel expenses for a local companion visiting the insured person in the hospital. This includes round-trip tickets and accommodation costs for one accompanying person during an evacuation.

Moreover, the benefit extends to accompanying any insured children under 18, ensuring comprehensive coverage for the parents or guardian with travel organization and accommodation.

?This feature not only prioritizes the well-being of the insured expatriate but also recognizes the importance of a supportive network during health crises, fostering a sense of security for expats and their families.

This is another important clause that is sometimes included as an option, so be sure to check your policy before selecting an insurance policy.
