Frequently Asked Questions
What age does Senior Expatriate insurance cover?
The ACS Senior Expatriate plan is for individuals aged 60 and older. Unlike general expat plans that may stop accepting new applicants at age 65 or 70, this plan is built for seniors and is lifetime renewable.
Are pre-existing conditions covered?
Many pre-existing conditions can be covered under the Senior Expatriate plan after a waiting period. The specifics depend on the condition and are evaluated by ACS during the underwriting process. Some conditions may have modified coverage terms or exclusions.
Can my policy be cancelled when I reach a certain age?
No. One of the key features of the ACS Senior Expatriate plan is lifetime renewability. As long as you continue to pay your premiums, your policy remains in effect regardless of your age.
Is the plan available in all countries?
The plan provides worldwide coverage, but some exclusions apply for countries under international sanctions. Specific country eligibility should be confirmed with ACS during the application process.
What is the difference between ACS Expat and Senior Expatriate?
ACS Expat covers working professionals up to age 65, while Senior Expatriate is for ages 60+. Senior Expatriate provides coverage that fits the health needs of older people, with specific provisions for pre-existing conditions and lifetime renewability.
How do I renew my policy each year?
You can renew your policy directly with ACS. We also provide a renewal information hub to help you understand the process. As a lifetime renewable policy, your coverage continues year after year as long as premiums are paid.
