Cover for some coronavirus related events is available on all our plans (excl. the Cancellation and Additional Expenses Plan), but the types of benefits and benefit limits vary.
As much as we’d love to cover every coronavirus-related scenario that a traveller can think of, that’s not what travel insurance is designed to do, so read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) carefully to know what is, and isn’t, covered.
Overseas Medical Benefit
If you get sick with coronavirus while on your trip, all of nib’s International travel insurance plans include cover for overseas medical expenses. As always, these are subject to our terms, conditions and exclusions around existing medical conditions.
Medical evacuation and repatriation
All nib Travel insurance plans (except Cancellation and Additional Expenses plan) include cover for medical evacuation and repatriation if we agree it’s medically necessary, up to the relevant benefit limit.
