Overview of health insurance cover provided by Axa health insurance

The Personal Health plan by Axa includes a number of benefits as standard, with the option to add further cover to enhance your health insurance policy, including out-patient cover.

Axa’s standard health insurance policy covers:

• Heart and cancer care, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy
• In-patient and day-patient treatment at 250+ hospitals
• 24-hour helpline access to nurses and counsellors, plus daily access to midwives and pharmacists
• Out-patient surgery
• CT, MRI and PET scans

Policyholders can then choose up to 7 additional modules to enhance their cover. These include mental health cover, dentist and optician cash back, travel cover and therapies cover.

Restrictions may apply to the above coverage, based on your medical history. For example, any illness or injury you have suffered within the last 5 years will not be covered for the first two years of taking out a policy. However, after 24 consecutive months without treatment or advice, that particular ailment will become eligible for cover again.
