Your policy

Gulf Solutions 1 – provided by Emirates Insurance Company (PSC) for customers of Aviva. These are your policy details, including full terms and conditions. Please read them carefully and then keep them in a safe, accessible place. Throughout this booklet certain words are shown in bold type. These are defined terms and have specific meanings when used in this booklet. The meanings are set out in the ‘Definitions’ section.

We will pay costs up to the amount specified in the benefit table in the event that you sustain accidental injury or contract an illness during the policy year. We will only pay costs that you incur whilst you are a member on the policy for the medical services specified in the policy if they are provided within your selected area. If you have worldwide cover, we will pay for treatment in any country. If you have worldwide cover excluding the USA and Caribbean, we will pay for treatment in any country except the USA and the Caribbean.

You may choose to travel within your selected area to receive eligible elective treatment provided that you: • are fit to travel without medical assistance; and • make and pay for your own travel arrangements both to and from the place where you were injured or became ill. We cover treatment at any hospital within your area, but we do not cover travel costs unless we organise an evacuation.

Page 9: AVIVA - GULF Solutions Policy wording + TOB level 1 - UAE (2).pdf

GEN4963 20/12/13

Compassionate travel We cover:

travel costs to return home to recuperate following an evacuation – we will cover economy class travel costs from: - the place where you received treatment to your country of nationality, and - back to your country of residence (or the place where you were evacuated to, or the place where you were before the evacuation if that is where you want to go) after your recuperation. We will cover these costs only when you are medically discharged and fit to travel on commercial transport. We do not cover the costs of treatment related to the recuperation.

the cost of one economy return flight (or equivalent), up to the benefit limit specified, for each member, to travel to attend the funeral of a close relative.

Emergency dental treatment We cover costs for treatment which you need as a result of an accidental dental injury caused by external trauma, for example a fall or accidental impact, to teeth. This includes the initial relief of pain, treatment necessary to preserve your natural dental structure, and any related permanent reconstruction work. The damage must become apparent within 7 days of the external trauma taking place. We cover treatment carried out up to a month after the accident. BUT: We do not cover treatment if the damage is caused by;

normal wear and tear,

food or drink, whether or not it contains a foreign body, or

participation in a contact sport if the appropriate mouth protection is not used. Evacuation If you are ill or injured, and the place where you are does not have either the facilities or equipment to treat you, we will discuss the situation with your general practitioner or specialist and decide whether or not there is a medical need for an evacuation. If you do need to be evacuated, we will make all arrangements for that evacuation through our assistance service. An evacuation will take you to the nearest appropriate facility for treatment as an in-patient or day-patient which you need. We, together with our assistance service, will decide whether it is safe for you to fly and whether you need an air ambulance, or whether an economy class commercial flight is more appropriate. If we, or our assistance service, give specific written authorisation, this benefit will include the cost of one other member or close relative travelling with, staying with or escorting you if it is necessary. For example, if you cannot conduct your own affairs and the member or close relative holds power of attorney authorising them to act for you. We do not cover:

any form of mountain rescue,

any evacuation from or to any seagoing vessel, or offshore installations such as oil rigs, or

any evacuation from or to any area or country if our assistance service consider it would endanger their safety for them to do so.

Funded birth

Page 10: AVIVA - GULF Solutions Policy wording + TOB level 1 - UAE (2).pdf

GEN4963 20/12/13

If a member gives birth and all costs for the birth are paid by national or charitable funding we pay the policyholder a bonus of $750. Hospice We will pay a donation directly to the hospice when:

you receive care as a patient of a hospice, and

we have previously covered treatment for the condition. Hospital accommodation We will pay for your accommodation as an in-patient or day-patient in the lowest cost single en-suite hospital room. If you are accommodated in a higher cost room we will only pay the cost of the lowest cost room and this could leave you with a shortfall that the policy does not cover. Infertility We cover consultations and diagnostic tests for infertility where you were unaware of your infertility when you joined the maternity option. Kidney dialysis

We cover short-term kidney dialysis:

if you are admitted to hospital for eligible treatment as an in-patient for another condition and you need your regular kidney dialysis during this admission, or

if required as a result of secondary kidney failure during eligible treatment as an in-patient, or

immediately before or after a surgical procedure to transplant a kidney as part of treatment as an in-patient.

BUT: We do not cover kidney dialysis as part of long-term treatment of a chronic condition. Local ambulance Road or air ambulance transport needed out of medical necessity to take you to the next available and appropriate hospital or licensed medical facility. We will only pay for an air ambulance if a road ambulance is not suitable and (unless it is an emergency) it is arranged by us. Local burial If a member dies, we will cover (up to the benefit limit specified) either:

burial or cremation at the place of death, or

the cost of transportation of body or ashes to the country of nationality. In either case, the policy does not cover the costs of a religious practitioner. Maternity If you pay for any maternity costs upfront, before you receive the treatment, we will only reimburse you for treatment that is covered by the policy after it has taken place.

Newborn cover This benefit covers treatment for:

all acute conditions which occur during the first 112 days following birth,

up to a combined maximum total of $150,000 during the life of the policy. If the child is added as a member of the policy, conditions which occur after the 112th day following birth will not be subject to this benefit limit. Nursing at home We cover home nursing if:

your specialist recommends and supervises it,

it takes place in your home,

it immediately follows treatment as an in-patient or day-patient that is covered by the policy,

it is carried out by a nurse and is the type of treatment that only a nurse can provide, and

you need it for medical reasons.

We do not cover nursing at home to help with your mobility, personal care or preparation of meals. Optical We pay up $150 for each set of contact lenses, glasses or sunglasses bought as a result of a change in your optical prescription. You must buy the contact lenses or glasses within three months of the eye test which discovered the change in prescription. We do not cover the cost of optical solutions and accessories (for example cases, cleaning cloths) or contract schemes (for example monthly disposable contact lens schemes). Parent hospital accommodation We will pay for hospital accommodation for one parent only staying with a child aged under 18 undergoing treatment covered by the policy as an in-patient or day-patient. We will pay for accommodation in the lowest cost single en-suite hospital room. If the parent is accommodated in a higher cost room we will only pay the cost of the lowest cost room and this could leave you with a shortfall that the policy does not cover. Physiotherapy If you need more than 10 sessions of physiotherapy for the same medical condition in the same policy year we will require full clinical details from your specialist before we can make a decision about cover. If your condition has become chronic further treatment will be covered under the routine maintenance of chronic conditions benefit of your policy. Postnatal We will cover postnatal care including:

tests by a paediatrician within 24 hours of birth, including a hearing test,

heel prick test,

one consultation for the mother with a specialist or midwife up to 10 weeks after the birth.

We will also cover regular visits to a clinic or health centre for the baby to be weighed and measured during the first six months following birth. If these visits are carried out as home visits

Page 12: AVIVA - GULF Solutions Policy wording + TOB level 1 - UAE (2).pdf

we will not pay for more than six and any additional tests will need to be carried out in a clinic or health centre. We do not cover the costs of postnatal classes, or mother or baby massages. Pregnancy complications

We do not cover medication, vitamins or homeopathic treatments which are available over the counter unless they are needed to work in conjunction with your overall prescription. We do not pay for pre-payment prescription cards. Reconstructive surgery We will cover a surgical procedure to restore your appearance if:

the surgical procedure immediately follows an accident, or treatment for cancer, and

the accident or cancer treatment took place when you were covered under the policy and you have had no break in cover since then. Repatriation If evacuation is medically necessary for your circumstances, you can choose repatriation. This means that, instead of taking you to the nearest appropriate facility, we will pay to transport you from the country where you are to:

your country of nationality, or

your country of residence.

We will only authorise and arrange repatriation if:

our assistance service and the doctors treating you agree that it is safe to do so

the country where you wish to travel to (either your country of nationality, or your country of residence) is in the area which the policyholder selected for the policy. For example, if:

– your country of nationality is the USA – the policy’s area for you is worldwide excluding USA and Caribbean, and – your country of residence is Germany

Page 13: AVIVA - GULF Solutions Policy wording + TOB level 1 - UAE (2).pdf

GEN4963 20/12/13

supported by peer reviewed and published clinical evidence which proves that the treatment has positive clinical outcomes, and

is acceptable clinical practice, practised widely by specialists in your country of residence. If your treatment meets these requirements, we will not exclude treatment on the basis that it is experimental. Before we can decide if your proposed treatment is eligible, we must receive all the clinical details we need from your specialist. We must confirm your cover in writing before any treatment begins. BUT: Even if we consider your treatment to be experimental because it does not satisfy all the requirements listed above, we will still pay for the lowest cost of either:

the experimental treatment or

the equivalent established treatment usually provided for your condition, if this is available. Please note: No payment will be made if there is no established treatment available for your condition (for which the experimental treatment is being proposed). If you undergo experimental treatment that is not successful, we will not pay towards further treatment of your condition or for any other condition that you develop as a result of undergoing experimental treatment.

Conditions Who can be a member? The policy covers everyone named on the policy schedule.

The policyholder

the policyholder’s husband or wife and

their children

can all be members. Adding members The policyholder may add new members to the policy at any time by contacting us. Newborn babies A member can add his or her newborn baby to the policy without underwriting if the policyholder applies to us within three months of the baby’s birth. Policy duration and premiums The policy lasts for one year and (if we still offer Gulf Solutions) we will automatically renew it unless the policyholder notifies us that they do not wish to renew it. We also have the option not to renew the policy, for example if trade sanctions were imposed or legislation passed which meant that we could no longer offer cover. If we do not renew the policy, we will tell the policyholder. We reserve the right to close the Gulf Solutions product at the renewal date. If this happens, we will contact the policyholder to discuss the options. The policy schedule shows how much to pay, when and by which payment method. We will advise the policyholder if the premium changes. We will collect premiums:

in advance of the date they are due

unless the policyholder tells us to cancel the policy in time for us to stop collecting the payment.

Page 23: AVIVA - GULF Solutions Policy wording + TOB level 1 - UAE (2).pdf

We do not pay any claims if premiums are not paid to date at the time your treatment takes place. Each annual premium payment is for one year’s cover. Compliance with policy terms We shall not be liable under this policy if you fail to comply with its terms and conditions, except where the

circumstances of any claim are unconnected with that failure and no fraud is involved.

Change of risk The policyholder must tell us as soon as possible about:

any changes relating to members, for example a change of name, address, if somebody works for the diplomatic service or a foreign embassy, or

of any other changes that affect information given to us relating to the application for cover under this policy, such as a change of country of residence or area.

We reserve the right to alter the premiums or policy terms or cancel cover for a member of the policy following a change of risk, to the extent permissible by the laws of your country of residence. We will always write to your last known address with details of any changes to your cover. Changes to cover We may change the terms and conditions of the policy at the renewal date. If there are changes to the policy, we will let you know before the next renewal date. If the policyholder decides to cancel the policy as a result of those changes, they must let us know in writing. Only we can make changes to the terms and conditions of the policy. Territorial limits Territorial limits under this policy are arranged into two geographical areas. The policyholder selects the area that they need at the start date and can change this:

at any renewal date, or

at any time if they can show us that a member will live in a different area for 6 months or more.

Benefit under this policy is limited to that described in the areas of cover benefit term. Payments for ineligible treatment If we agree to pay for treatment that is not normally eligible on the policy, this does not mean that we will make another payment for treatment in the same or similar circumstances. Any payments we do make towards the cost of ineligible treatment will count towards any benefit limit listed in the policy terms and conditions. Second opinions We will only pay for a second (or subsequent) opinion from a general practitioner or specialist in respect of the same condition if we authorise it. If we ask for a second opinion, we will make and pay for the arrangements.
