International healthcare

About the plan

AXA Global Healthcare's International Health Plan is available at exclusive rates for FPS members. The plan offers a choice of four levels of cover, so you can find a plan to suit your needs and budget.

If you currently have your own cover with AXA Global Healthcare, you may benefit from reduced rates by joining the FPS scheme.

Members can transfer between the UK and international private medical insurance plans, without further underwriting.

What’s included

• Includes medical insurance cover for your family
• Full in-patient and day-patient cover
• Cancer cover
• Choice of the level of out-patient cover needed
• Continued terms may be available if you are currently insured elsewhere (subject to required transfer criteria being met)

Good to know

The plan is available to all members of the Forces Pension Society. If you are not currently a member of The Forces Pension Society, visit their website to find out how to sign up.

FORCES PENSION SOCIETY

If you already have a UK or international policy you can switch cover on continued underwriting terms (CPME) with a simplified health declaration, subject to approval by AXA Global Healthcare.

If you are seeking cover for the first time your cover will be fully medically underwritten (FMU). There is a special introductory offer for the first year for new underwriting.

The role of Towergate Employee Benefits and Forces Pension Society

Towergate Employee Benefits is an independently authorised broker, who acts on your behalf.

To support their members, FPS works with Towergate Employee Benefits to enable Towergate Employee Benefits to market the scheme, for which FPS receives a fee.

Towergate Employee Benefits negotiates the overall renewal terms AXA Global Healthcare offers on this plan, with FPS agreeing the recommendation. FPS has no other role within the administration of this arrangement.

For clarity, there is no commercial agreement between AXA Global Healthcare and FPS, who do not represent you or negotiate any aspect of your annual travel / healthcare insurance with AXA Global Healthcare.

This policy is an individual contract of insurance between you and AXA Global Healthcare. The subscriptions under this arrangement are set each year by AXA Global Healthcare to take in to account the claims made by all the members of FPS and their family members covered under the product.
