Medical Emergency Travel Insurance Is A Must-Have for South African Travelers

Traveling outside the borders of South Africa presents exciting opportunities, but it also comes with potential risks. One of the most crucial safeguards you can have in place is Medical Emergency Travel Insurance. Without this essential coverage, you may face unforeseen medical expenses that could otherwise be covered by a comprehensive travel insurance policy.

Emergency Medical Travel Insurance Policy

We understand that travel can be a significant expense, especially when it comes to securing emergency medical travel insurance at the last minute. To better serve our valued clients who plan to travel outside South Africa—whether to visit loved ones, enjoy a relaxing holiday, or embarking on a cruise—Cura Administrators has made special provisions.

Top-Up Premium At No Extra Cost

We are pleased to inform you that we have included an Emergency Travel Insurance Policy as an additional benefit in some of our comprehensive Top-up cover plans. This valuable coverage is added to your Cura Top-up premium at no extra cost.

Review your Policy with a Cura Healthcare Advisor

To ensure your current Gap Cover includes this essential Emergency Medical Travel Benefit, please review your policy. If it is not included, we recommend consulting with your Cura Healthcare Advisor to obtain the appropriate cover.

They can introduce the Cura Advanced and Ultimate Gap Cover policies, which provide Medical Emergency Travel Insurance for various Medical Events, excluding Pre-existing Conditions. This coverage is limited to R5 million per insured person for a maximum of 90 days per trip, with an age limit of 80 years at the next birthday. With this coverage, you will have access to 24/7 Medical Assistance and advice through TIC’s emergency contact centre.
