Coverage Limits: Understand what medical expenses are covered, including hospitalization, emergency care, doctor visits, medications, and medical evacuation. Genki Explorer covers both outpatient and inpatient medical costs, including repatriation to your home country without a maximum coverage limit. Prescribed medication, tests, examinations, medical aids, and materials are also included.

Pre-existing Conditions: Some insurance plans may exclude coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. Genki Explorer does not cover pre-existing conditions from the past 6 months. Important to know also is that, like any health insurance, it won't be possible to purchase insurance to cover an ongoing treatment or a treatment that you need coverage for before purchasing the insurance. You should always purchase health insurance before starting your travels so you can be covered for any emergency that happens after. If you wait to be sick or get into an accident before purchasing insurance, you need to know that no travel health insurance will cover treatments for emergencies that happen when you're not yet insured.

Travel Destination: Different regions may have varying healthcare costs and quality. Ensure that the insurance provides coverage in the countries you plan to visit. Genki Explorer offers worldwide coverage, meaning, all countries are covered without exception. Take note that home country coverage is limited to 6 weeks per 180 consecutive days for accidents and life-threatening emergencies only.

Duration of Coverage: Determine how long the insurance coverage lasts and if it aligns with the duration of your trip. Some plans may have limits on the length of coverage per trip or year. Genki Explorer offers a maximum coverage of 2 years, and you don't need to specify your travel duration during sign-up. You can cancel at any time after one month without any extra fees.

Emergency Assistance Services: Check if the insurance includes 24/7 emergency assistance services, such as a helpline for medical emergencies, coordination of medical care, and medical evacuation if necessary. Genki Explorer offers a 24/7 emergency hotline that will cover inpatient (hospitalization) expenses by direct billing with any hospital in the world.

Policy Exclusions: Review the policy exclusions carefully to understand what circumstances and treatments are not covered by the insurance. Learn more about the restrictions and exclusions in this article: What is covered (and not covered) by Genki Explorer?

Repatriation Coverage: You can request a medical repatriation back to your home country if the duration of the treatment justifies the request, and if the responsible doctor clears you as fit-to-fly. However, you must know that your insurance is terminated as soon as you arrive back in your home country. This means any follow-up treatments once you've returned to your home country should be covered by a local insurance or national health system. You decide if you want to request the repatriation back to your home country, it’s completely your choice. You can keep receiving the initial treatment in the country where the accident or emergency happens until you're able to return to your travels, and you can resume any possible follow-up treatments in different countries with the prior knowledge of the insurer.
