What is the meaning of without sublimit or No sublimit in travel insurance?
In overseas travel medical insurance the
No sublimit or
without sublimit means the insurance company covers for your medical expenses up to the limit (policy maximum) mentioned in the policy schedule of the customer. In travel insurance, the limits or caping apply usually to the medical related expenses. If the customer is holding a policy which is comphrensive. Then he/she is covered up to the policy maximum for that eligible medical claim.
Let us understand in a better way with an example
Let us assume that you have travel medical insurance which covers $50,000 for your medical expenses without any medical sublimits.
There is a admissible claim with this policy of $15,000. The break up of medical expenses is listed below.
- Xray and lab tests = $2,000
- Surgery = $10,000
- Room rent = $1,000 for 3 days
As you hold a policy with no sublimit and claim is payable, then the insurance company pays you 100% of the claim amount. While compared to other non comphrensive plans which have restricted coverage.
