What is 'Emergency Evacuation'?

Emergency Evacuation means taking the insured person from one place to another where medical attention can be provided to him. The Emergency Evacuation must be ordered by American International Group International Services (American Home Assurance Company IS) or a physician who certifies that the severity or the nature of the person’s injury or sickness warrants the person’s evacuation.

There is no restriction on the number of trips. You can take as many trips as you want.

What if I leave HSBC, can I still keep my insurance coverage?

Yes.

Do I have to use an HSBC credit card to pay the premium?

No, you can pay with any credit card. You just have to have a relationship with HSBC to be eligible for Travel Protection.

When does my coverage start?

Subject to payment of the premium, premium charged to the insured Person’s credit card, the insurance applied for shall be effective from the policy effective date.
