If you’re a company, get pre-existing conditions covered at just 10 lives with Aplus health insurance. In addition, you can get significant discounts with Aplus group policies and cover a mixture of expat or local employees who are living in variety of countries.Â
Aplus health insurance has intentionally designed their plans to not accept pre-existing conditions on personal policies. This helps them control their claims and allows them to provide cutthroat pricing on their Easy Care plans and very stable year-over-year pricing with their Southeast Asia and Worldwide plans. As for applicantions:
Easy Care
Moratorium underwriting only, a very basic declaration that no pre-existing conditions are covered and that you don’t have any major medical issues, impending hospitalizations, etc. Due to this accelerated underwriting, it’s possible to get signed up to an Aplus health insurance policy within a few hours.Â
Southeast Asia & Worldwide
On these two plan levels, you can choose the fast application with a moratorium application or you can do a full medical underwriting (FMU) application, which requires you to make a variety of specific declarations about your medical history. Moratorium will be a very fast application process, where FMU applications take a few business days to process.Â
All Aplus heath insurance plans are annual policies, but they give you the option to pay with quarterly or semi-annual installments. For quarterly installments, there is a 10% surcharge. For semi-annual installments, there is an 8% surcharge.Â
All policies are in USD and can be paid via Credit Card authorization form, if you’re paying with an installment. You can also pay online with a payment link.Â
If you’re paying annually, then you can also do an international bank transfer.Â
Aplus has developed a very strong direct billing network throughout Asia at the top hospitals and clinics in each country. This includes major hospitals like:
- Raffles, Mt. Elizabeth, Gleneagles
- Bumrungrad, Bangkok Hospital, Samitivej
- Family Medical, FV Hospital, CMI
However, if you’re a member of Aplus Easy Care, then there is no outpatient direct billing. You will need to pay and claim for every outpatient visit. The claims reimbursement period is just 5 days and they’re very good about paying valid claims on time.Â
All Aplus health insurance plans cover COVID-19 and related treatments up to your policy’s normal benefit limits. If you happen to get put into quarantine, then you are not covered for any related expenses, unless you are diagnosed with COVID.Â
Your Tenzing Pacific advisor can help you obtain a COVID-19 insurance certificate, which verifies you’re insured and covered for COVID-19. This may be required for international travel, depending on where you’re going.Â
The main thing that Aplus Health Insurance doesn’t offer is any coverage for pre-existing conditions or if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or above. In addition, Aplus also doesn’t offer family discounts, the ability to mix & match between different family members, child-only plans or any outpatient direct billing for their Easy Care plans or any options for Savings Plans or Life Insurance
