FREEDOM WORLDWIDE BROCHURE 0/0/205 INTERNATIONAL FLEXIBILITY Freedom Worldwide & Freedom Elite In a world of increasing international trade, communications and corporation, moving and working abroad is increasingly more common. The provision of healthcare insurance for all expatriates and their families needs to be flexible, comprehensive, simple and cost effective. When based in the United Kingdom, a domestic private medical insurance plan is the obvious healthcare solution. If you decide to work or move abroad, you would need to replace this cover with an international medical insurance plan providing appropriate benefits. Ideally you would expect to transfer from your UK policy to an International policy when you move abroad and revert back to your UK policy when you return to the UK. This may not just be a complicated, costly and time-consuming process, but could also involve the loss of underwriting terms. This can mean starting a new policy with new terms, where any conditions that have arisen during your time spent abroad may not be covered. Freedom Health Insurance offers an innovative solution to this. Opt for Freedom Elite whilst residing in the UK as a comprehensive domestic medical insurance plan. When you move abroad, your cover can be easily switched into Freedom Worldwide, a comprehensive international plan. On return to the UK, your cover can revert back to your original Freedom Elite policy. This is subject to cover being in force for a minimum of six months. Transfers are acceptable on the renewal of your policy or at a six month period. No loss of underwriting. No change of insurance provider. No fuss. Freedom Worldwide & Freedom Elite a partnership perfectly formed. 3
