The core: emergency medical costs

The policy's object is the medical and related expenses of foreign non-resident travellers lawfully travelling in Ukraine: emergency treatment, the assistance organisation around it, and the costs that flow from a sudden illness or injury during the stay. It is the class 18 traveller assistance product that makes a policy valid for entry.

COVID-19 is covered

Unlike many travel policies that carve out pandemics entirely, this product covers COVID-19 — it is an explicit exception to the general epidemic exclusion in the terms.

The war-risk element

Injuries a civilian traveller sustains from military action or weapons are covered when the war-risk element is included at purchase — what it covers and where, we break down separately. Taking part in hostilities is excluded. Radiation and ionising exposure is a separate option, included only if selected.

What is honestly excluded

A reference site should say this plainly. The main exclusions in the published terms include: injuries from sport activities; dental care beyond urgent pain relief; mental disorders; conditions that pre-existed within six months before the trip; pregnancy from week 29; travel undertaken for the purpose of treatment; assistance in your country of citizenship; and chemical or bacteriological contamination. If your trip involves any of these, read the full published terms ↗ ↗ before relying on the cover.

How to check your own case

The policy that applies to you is the specific contract you buy: its options (war risk, radiation, extended cover) and its dates. Cover must span the entire stay. The exact price for your dates and options is calculated on the checkout page; the full conditions are published by the insurer ↗ ↗.
