Delving into the detail: Global Treatment Plus

That’s why Global Treatment Plus stands at the cornerstone of Zurich Accelerate, which stemmed from a desire to help customers facing some of the most serious medical conditions – cancer, heart and neurological conditions.

The Global Treatment Plus service within Zurich Accelerate gives your customers access to treatment abroad at some of the leading hospitals in the world.

It not only covers the cost of treatment, but also many of the associated expenses, such as travel and accommodation for your customer and two companions (three if the patient is a child), allowing your customers to focus on their treatment and recovery.

Let’s delve into the detail of Global Treatment Plus and the types of medical facilities that your customers have access to if they add Zurich Accelerate on to their Personal or Income Protection policy with Zurich.

Fast access to treatment

The Global Treatment Plus element of Zurich Accelerate gives customers access to treatment abroad for cancer, heart surgery, neurosurgery, bone marrow transplant and live donor organ transplant at some of the leading hospitals in the world.

The daily expenses of £50 per person are designed to cover expenses such as food, travel between the hotel and hospital and phone calls.

The process of Global Treatment Plus – from treatment to travel, accommodation and follow-up care – is arranged by your customer’s case manager. Your customers may need to consider travel insurance as the treatment is provided outside of the UK.

When your customers return home to the UK, Global Treatment Plus will cover any ongoing medical costs up to £100,000 as well as follow up care, which could be within the UK or abroad.
