Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc has intensified awareness on the importance of travel health insurance, urging Nigerians travelling abroad to obtain adequate insurance cover to protect themselves against unexpected medical emergencies and other travel-related risks.
The insurer said its Travel Health Insurance policy is designed to provide financial protection and access to emergency healthcare services for travellers throughout the duration of their international trips.
According to the company, the policy provides cover for accidental death, medical expenses incurred overseas and repatriation costs where necessary. It is available for travellers visiting Schengen countries as well as destinations across the world.
Mutual Benefits Assurance noted that the policy also meets the travel insurance requirements for Schengen visa applications, making it suitable for individuals travelling to countries within the Schengen area.
The company advised prospective policyholders to disclose all material information during application, pay the required premium, promptly notify the insurer of any claimable event and cooperate with claims adjusters to facilitate a smooth claims process.
It explained that the insurance cover remains valid for the period stated on the certificate of insurance.
Highlighting the benefits of the policy, Mutual Benefits Assurance said travel health insurance offers peace of mind, helps restore financial losses arising from covered medical emergencies, provides access to emergency medical care while abroad and ensures compliance with Schengen visa requirements.
The company encouraged Nigerians travelling for business, education, tourism or other purposes to consider travel health insurance as an essential part of their travel preparations.
