clock • 1 min read

Bellwood Prestbury in partnership with APRIL international has launched an international medical plan designed for the international contractor sector.

Whether onshore or offshore, the International Contractors Health Plan offers a range of tailored medical insurance solutions for people working in the Oil & Gas, Energy, Telecommunications, Technology and associated sectors. 

Belllwood Prestbury said such employees are "often faced with a combination of high premiums and insufficient cover when trying to arrange cover."

The plan has been designed for the self-employed and small groups of employees.
Offering a choice of three levels of cover available for periods of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months, every policy includes as standard 24/7 Emergency Medical Evacuation (CEGA Assistance), 24/7 Crisis Management Assistance (Red24) and Global Blood Transfusion support (Blood Care Foundation).

Andrew Apps, head of global healthcare at Bellwood Prestbury International said: "By bringing together a choice of comprehensive cover benefits and affordable premiums, this unique programme recognises the demands and requirements of the global contractor by packaging each element under a single proposition."

"The International Contractors Plan is ideal for anyone looking for either short or long-term cover, and has the advantage of providing cover between assignments, so removing the need to reapply for cover and facing potential underwriting issues every time a new job comes along".
