Information on main coverages

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

It is probably the main reason why we take out travel insurance. The medical expenses guarantee is the most important of your insurance since it covers accidents, serious illnesses or doctor visits that may occur during your trip.

Thanks to this guarantee, expenses resulting from illness or accident that you suffer during the trip are covered up to the limit that you have contracted in your policy. We take care of the costs of a medical consultation, hospitalization, a surgical intervention, medications and even emergency dental expenses... We will even cover, up to the contracted limit, unforeseen expenses caused by the extension of your stay in a hotel if you do not You can travel on the initially scheduled date.

Choose insurance that covers medical, surgical and pharmaceutical expenses and with limits appropriate to your destination. The cost of medicine in the USA or some Asian countries is much higher than in Europe. As an example, an appendicitis operation in the USA can cost between 25,000$ and 40,000$.

In addition, you will have at your disposal the best international medical assistance network anywhere in the world. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist you if you experience any health problem during your trip. And without advancing money. In case of emergency, you only have to contact the 24-hour Assistance platform to coordinate the visit with a medical center and manage the payment of invoices directly with the administration of the medical center. This way you will not have to pay any expenses at the hospital or outpatient center.

The travel insurance we offer covers medical assistance in case of Covid-19 infection, including testing if necessary.

There are exclusions in medical expenses that you should consult in the general conditions of the contract.

REPATRIATION

If repatriation is necessary due to a serious health problem or death, make sure that your policy does not have financial limits for this coverage. Also check that it allows repatriation accompanied by a family member without any additional cost.

Our travel insurance covers all repatriation costs for the injured, sick and deceased on an unlimited basis. This means that we organize and pay for your return home and make adapted medical transport available to you if necessary.

In the event of repatriation due to illness, accident or death, the repatriation costs of your companion and any minors traveling with you are also covered, provided they cannot return with the initially planned means.

EARLY RETURN

Take out insurance that includes this coverage since during your trip situations may occur that force you to return home (hospitalization due to an accident or serious illness of a family member or death of a family member or serious accident in your home). It is important that you check what degree of relationship your insurance includes.

It is very important to see the clauses of these guarantees since for some companies it only applies in the event that the ticket contracted by the insured for the return trip to Spain does not allow them to anticipate it or they apply surcharges or penalties.

These insurers consider that an “early return” cannot occur if there is no previously purchased return ticket.

This especially affects Long Stay trips where there is no fixed ticket for the return to Spain.

DISPLACEMENT OF A FAMILY MEMBER OR COMPANION

If during the trip you need to be hospitalized for a minimum of days, we cover a round-trip ticket and hotel expenses so that a family member can accompany you.

THEFT AND DAMAGE TO LUGGAGE

Theft and damage to luggage are the coverage that causes the most losses in this type of insurance. Take out insurance that covers luggage and documentation since this incident is a big problem when we are away from our usual home.

In the event of your luggage being stolen, we guarantee compensation for the loss of your materials and personal belongings up to the limit you have contracted. In addition, we will help you manage the claim for your suitcase and its location.

The justified expenses are also covered, up to the established limit, to obtain the necessary documents for your trip (passport, visa, credit cards...)

If your luggage is lost, we will help you search and locate it and we will cover the shipping costs to your home.

There are exclusions (money, for example) and limitations that you should consult in the general conditions of the contract.

TRANSPORTATION INCIDENTS AND DELAYS IN THE DELIVERY OF LUGGAGE

Sometimes our trip can be canceled by the carrier, suffer delays in its departure, we can miss a connection... which can generate extra expenses. The insurance reimburses unforeseen travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses.

Likewise, we may find when we arrive at our destination that our luggage has been lost during the trip. In that case we will cover the purchase of the essential items you need until your luggage is delivered to you.

CIVIL LIABILITY

The Civil Liability guarantee covers, up to the established limit, the compensation that the insured must pay in his or her capacity as a private person, as civilly responsible for bodily harm or material damage caused involuntarily to third parties in their persons, animals or things during the trip. In addition, the Company itself will be in charge of the entire process, assuming the legal costs and fees, the provision of judicial bonds required of the insured.

There are exclusions that you should consult in the general conditions of the contract.

VACATION CANCELLATION AND REFUND

If you have to cancel your trip before starting it, you will most likely suffer a significant financial loss. Check that your insurance will compensate you if any of these contingencies occur and what its financial limit is. It is very important that you check which causes are covered.

If an unforeseen event arises that prevents you from making the trip at the last minute, the company will reimburse you for the management, cancellation and penalty costs that are billed to you by the trip provider.

The insurance covers the cost of the trip not taken for different reasons:

· Health reasons: accident, death or serious illness of the insured or a family member; call for surgical intervention; appointment for transplant….
· Employment reasons: professional dismissal or incorporation into a new job; presentation to official opposition exams….
· For legal reasons: convening as part of a Court or a polling station; placing a child for adoption; the non-granting of visas for unjustified reasons….
· Extraordinary causes: act of air piracy, declaration of a catastrophic zone of the origin or destination of the trip, serious damage to the insured's home...
· For other reasons such as cancellation of the companion's trip for covered reasons, theft of documentation or luggage; cancellation of the wedding if it is a honeymoon trip….

In the same way, if you have to interrupt your trip, once it has started, due to an accident or illness, hospitalization or death of a family member, serious damage to your home... The insurance assumes the cost of services contracted before the start of the trip that cannot be used or reimbursed.

Equine insurance has been implemented in our country due to the great equestrian tradition and to provide protection to our horses.

We can insure our horse in two ways:

– With civil liability insurance
– With life insurance and emergency surgery expenses

ON HORSES

Advantages and Modalities

The insurance types cover two possible risks:

In the case of Civil Liability, we are protecting ourselves against possible claims for damages that our horse may cause to a third party. Horse owners are responsible for any damage that our horse may cause to something or someone. The Civil Liability Insurance will cover those claims for which we are civilly responsible as owners of the horse as long as there is a cause-effect relationship between what the horse has done and the damage they claim from us. If this insurance is not available or if the issue is non-coverage, the owner will be liable with his or her property for any damages claimed. That is why it is important to take out Civil Liability Insurance.

Regarding Life Insurance, what we cover is that if our horse dies, the beneficiary designated in the insurance collects the amount for which the horse was insured as compensation for the loss. In addition to death, equine life insurance covers other coverages that we detail below. This insurance is not mandatory, although the majority of horse owners cover their animals with this insurance because it is a way to have colic surgery covered, which is very expensive, open fractures, transportation, corpse removal expenses, apart from the horse's insured capital. That is, they have very complete insurance for their horse in case something happens to it that no one wants to happen.

Coverage

Horse Insurance coverage offers the possibility of insuring your horse for risks of:

– All risk (includes the basic guarantees specified below).
– Civil liability.
– In addition to the above, it is possible to carry out personalized risk studies including additional coverage.

In the US visiting professor program, the visiting professor is required to fill out a form indicating the rating of the company with which they have taken out their insurance.

At this point, when you request the rating from the Insurer with whom you contract your insurance, they must give you information compatible with the requirement that the US demands regarding the contracted insurance. Specifically, the information they request is:

Regarding the “Claims paying ability rating”, minimum levels must be met. Additionally, they require that they be the Agencies AM Best, Fitch, Weiss Research, Standard and Poor's, Moody's.

All of them have international prestige and recognition and, likewise, they require minimum qualifications for each agency. For example:

We are asked that the Insurance Company be rated with an “A” or higher by the AM Best agency. (“AM Best Rating of “A” or above”)

They ask us that the Insurance Company has a rating of “A3” or higher if it has been the Moody's Agency that has classified its solvency.

ia (“Moody's investor services rating of “A3” or above”)

Or they ask us for an “A-” or higher if it has been Fitch Rating that has classified the Insurance Company. (“Fitch Rating, Inc. rating of “A-“ or above)

To give just a few examples of how we should interpret the requirement of claims paying ability rating.

Therefore, our Insurance Company has to provide us with the Rating it has for one of these companies admitted by the US.

Real examples of ratings of Insurance Companies in Spain:

If what the Insurer indicates is a figure accompanied by % (125%, 236%...) THEY ARE NOT INDICATING THE RATING, but its solvency ratio. They do not indicate any rating agency since they are Companies that have not been rated by Fitch, Moody's, AM Best, S&P's or any other company admitted by the United States of America.

They would not, therefore, be complying with the requirement demanded by the US regarding the qualification of the Insurance Company with which the insurance for visiting professors is contracted.

Information about the J1 Visa

What is a J-1 and J-2 visa?

One of the requirements requested to enter the US PPVV program (Spanish nationality, having a B1 level of English and a long etcetera), is to obtain a J-1 visa.

The J-1 visa is a short-term nonimmigrant visa that the US issues for international visitors. Allows certain individuals to enroll in work-study-based exchange programs to teach, study, conduct research, or receive job training in the US.

Your spouses, children or other dependents can travel on a J2 visa.

Visa holders J-1 and any dependents with a J-2 visa (spouses and children under 21 years of age) accompanying them must have health insurance with the minimum benefit levels established in the program regulations. The insurance must cover medical expenses for evacuation and repatriation.

You should verify with your Sponsor what the appropriate health insurance requirements are. These are the ones who verify that the health insurance meets regulatory requirements. Willful failure by the J-2 visa participant and/or his or her dependents to maintain active insurance coverage is grounds for program termination.

Health Insurance Requirements for the J-1 Visa

Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 62.14 establishes that all J visa, J1 visa and J2 visa holders are required to be beneficiaries of health insurance that meets the following requirements at a minimum:

Medical benefits of at least $100,000 per incident (accident or illness)
Emergency medical evacuation coverage of $50,000
Repatriation coverage of mortal remains of $25,000
A deductible not to exceed $500 per incident (accident or illness)
A policy underwritten by an insurance company with:
– An AM Best rating of “A-” or higher;
– A McGraw Hill Financial/Standard & Poor's claims-paying ability rating of “A-” or higher;
– A Weiss Research, Inc. rating of “B+” or higher;
– A Fitch Ratings, Inc. rating of “A-” or higher;
– A Moody's Investor Services rating of “A3” or higher.
– An Insurance Solvency International, Ltd. (ISI) rating of “AI” or higher.

All our insurances scrupulously comply with the requirements of the J1 and J2 Visa.
