By purchasing overseas medical insurance coverage you are guaranteeing that in the event of an emergency you will be airlifted, if necessary, to the nearest suitable medical facility for treatment.

Visitors will find it hard to reconcile their own experiences with the pronouncements that Iran is part of an 'axis of evil'. For culture seekers, Iran has magnificent ruins of ancient cities, glorious mosques and mausoleums, and museums so interesting they're bound to leave your feet sore.

The more adventurous can enjoy trekking, budget-priced skiing, or swooping off cliffs strapped to a hang-glider. For the traveller who doesn't mind covering up and eschewing ale and heartfelt feminist discourse, Iran has a vast amount to offer.

It is essential to have full overseas medical insurance coverage if you travel to Iran, in the event of an emergency it is likely that you will need to be evacuated which can prove expensive if you pay for it yourself.

Our experienced insurance advisors can give you a range of quotes for your overseas medical insurance coverage.

Hi, My mom will be coming from north africa to visit me in the USA and stay for acouple of weeks. Recently she has been having a heavy hand and legs feeling. She has been prescribed a medication that is usualy prescribed for patients with mild parkinson's. I would like to get some second opinion and test(scans) performed on her in the USA. I don't think that she has parkinson's and I would like to confirn this in a center/hospital that I trust. My mom has an inssurance coverage with mutuelle Maroc,which is a partner with SwissLife and AXA. I wonder if she can get an international coverage with your company that will covers specialist evaluation, MRI, and oether scans if necessary. Thank you
