PREMIUM version
The complementary health insurance UN is also available in a PREMIUM version that includes assistance benefits during a stay abroad.
Besides medical, travel and security assistance, PREMIUM offers a significant advantage for GPAFI members who benefit from the complementary health insurance that no other assistance company is able to offer.
Indeed, if during a stay abroad an outpatient treatment or a hospitalization is required, UNIQA Assistance guarantees payment, 24/7 all around the world, and covers 100% of the medical costs directly with the healthcare provider or the hospital facility.
So the insured don't need to pay himself the medical costs nor to submit the bill afterwards to his basic insurance and his complementary insurance. UNIQA Assistance handles everything, unlike other assistance providers who only make advance for medical costs, limited and refundable, and who don't transmit bills to insurances.
