Under all three plans the emergency treatment outside of area benefit limit has been increased from £30 000 to £50 000 in addition to cover for organ transplantations increasing from £150 000 to £200 000.

These changes become effective from 1 June and will be automatically applied to all new and renewing policies incepting on or after this date.

Andrew Apps, director at ALC Health, commented: "With the cost of health care increasing globally, we are continually keeping a close eye on the scope of cover offered by our programmes to ensure that they meet the exacting needs of our policyholders. As a result we have increased a number of key benefits, thereby helping to ensure that our members can be safe in the knowledge should the unexpected happen and a major medical incident occurs, they have the right cover in place to look after the costs associated with their treatment.

"We are particularly delighted to have been able to increase these important cover benefits so continuing our philosophy of providing our policyholders with comprehensive but affordable cover no matter where in the world they may be living or working".
