Stress test your insurer for Corona Virus treatment

We have tested your insurer to see if they cover you for CoronaVirus

3 most important questions and more. Here are a few questions our clients have:

  1. as a new virus, experimental treatments (as there are no known treatment as of today) will be used. does my insurer pay?
  2. if I am in Quarantine in a government designated hospital for observation 15-day without treatment (quarantine), do the insurer pay?
  3. does the insurer cover for all costs for evacuation and treatment for CoronaVirus? if I don’t want to stay in the local hospital  CN or VN can I chose?
  4. Due to the corona virus outbreak, everything is crazy atm. 

As per prime minister announcement, foreigners will need to pay for their treatment. I am just wondering if the insurance covers n-cov virus treatment.

Is Coronavirus related testing (e.g., blood test) covered in our medical policies?

For exclusion of infections except pyogenic infections, tetanus, or rabies from a wound or cut suffered as a result of an accident is under Specific Exclusions for Loss of Life, Dismemberment, Loss of Sight or Permanent Disability caused by accident. (Page19: point 1.3)

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases hence we are consider as acute disease.

According to our policy are not provided epidemic disease in General exclusions. (page 12)

Yes, if the symptoms occurred after client have joined as an insured member and under policy terms and conditions. ( If it’s not pre-existing conditions and client have OPD / IPD Benefit coverage)

We will consider based on medical report under policy terms and conditions.

-In accordance with medical indication of modern medicine; and

-Not primarily for the convenience of the patient or his/her family, physician; and

-In accordance with generally accepted standard to cate for the patients, and considered appropriate for the treating patient’s illness or injury.

Q: For example does the insurer pay for quarantine 15-days in designated hospitals in Saigon and in Asia in general? Can insured members choose to go to vinmec or FV hospital in order not to be infected by all other contaminated patients in case things get worse?

A: It’s up to client’s choice, but if it’s mandatory from the Minister of Health so we need to follow to be safe.
