  • The valid insurance policy can be maintained through ASIA until the end of the year during which the member reaches the age of 68.

Leisure time accident insurance

The insurance coverage applies to accidents that occur during leisure time, unless covered by law. The insurance does not include a daily allowance. More details about the insurance policy are provided in the insurance terms and conditions. Unlike under the general terms and conditions, the beneficiaries of accident insurances taken out by ASIA are always the insured person’s relatives.

  • medical expenses arising from an accident: EUR 5,636 (100 € deductible)
  • compensation for permanent disability: EUR 43,800
  • compensation payable upon death: EUR 10,644.

Traveller’s insurance

The cover is valid for no longer than 45 days from the onset of an individual domestic or international journey during leisure time.

Children under 20 years of age travelling with a parent who is insured are covered by the parent’s insurance, but only by one insurance policy at a time.The insurance provides the children with the same cover as the member. In addition, the compensation payable upon death arising from an accident is EUR 2,000, and the compensation for permanent disability arising from an accident is EUR 10,000. The insurance cover includes an exclusion concerning sports activities, in compliance with the insurance terms and conditions. The exclusion cannot be removed.

Expenses arising from sickness during a journey are compensated up to a maximum period of 90 days from the appointment with a doctor, and medical expenses arising from an accident are compensated up to three years from the occurrence of the accident. The medical expenses covered by the insurance are listed in the terms and conditions.

If a sickness existing prior to the journey unexpectedly worsens during the journey, only medical expenses arising from treatment in the nature of first aid provided at the travel destination will be compensated for a maximum period of one week. Further details about the exclusions are provided in the insurance terms and conditions.

Traveller’s insurance also covers expenses arising from the cancellation or curtailment of a journey and from being late for a journey. The insured is entitled to compensation for an interrupted journey on the basis of being admitted to hospital for treatment of sickness during a journey, for example. The cancellation or curtailment of a journey or being late for a journey must result from a compelling reason, as listed in the insurance terms and conditions.
