Assur Travel expatriate insurance

In pursuit of securing and maintaining the best rates, Assur Travel negotiates its expatriate health insurance solutions with three different insurers. These contracts operate as a 1st euro option or as a secondment regime.

The insurance offerings feature three levels of coverage, each available in versions with and without optical-dental-maternity coverage. Various deductible options are provided to significantly reduce the premium. Clients particularly value the high-quality management services.

Available options include : repatriation assistance, civil liability coverage, death/disability benefits, and daily allowances (depending on the specific contracts).

Professional and responsive

Dominique on  09/08/2022

My membership is recent to allow me to make judgments.but as for the follow-upProfessional, responsive to the slightest questions

In addition CFE

Mathilde on  03/11/2022

I did not call my insurance for the past months but I think I have a good insurance

How to do everything to never pay anything back!

Bertrand on  06/14/2021

The insurer responds very quickly by email, processes the claims quickly, and the procedures can be done by email which is very convenient. Positive points concerning the customer service. However, I am less satisfied with the quality of the care insurance. My contract is entitled to the 1st Euro, which is a commercial lie. First of all, there is a deductible of 300 Euros before you can be reimbursed (the contract should therefore be called at the first 300 Euros, not the first Euro), and in the reimbursement of consultation costs it only reimburses 90%, making it even longer to reach the 300 Euros. When I wanted to register my pregnant wife on my insurance, the waiting period is 10 months (gestation time of a human being is 9 months, I think!), so the insurer is clearly not interesting. In short, the quality of service is very good to try to hide the fact that the insurer will anyway do everything to not reimburse anything.

Mobile application

Paco on  04/30/2021

The mobile application is old and not very functional. Impossible to use it without a reminder by e-mail. The shipments on the application are not processed. No way to see the progress of our request on the application. The indigo expat application is perfect but the assur Travel application is totally useless.

reimbursements

Olivier LYSKAWA on  04/06/2021

The reimbursements for standard consultations have always gone well. However, when I dislocated my shoulder in October 2020, it took several email exchanges to be reimbursed for the emergency room procedure.

Professional, attentive, good advice

Dimitri on  03/29/2021

So far everything has gone well, the insurer has guided me well when choosing the right formula. Very professional and good knowledge of the field. Answers to all questions. I recommend!

Satisfied

Jessica on  03/29/2021

An insurer who listens to my needs, and a search for the best prices corresponding to my expectations. Easy and fast reimbursement. No problem for several years.

Olivier on  03/27/2021

I would like to thank Mr. Raphaël REITER for his very professional services.

Nicolas Gatinot on  03/25/2021

Hassen was able to identify my needs and accompanied me perfectly in all the steps. I will not fail to recommend you or to call upon your services again.

Good insurance 2 years ago but the efficiency has decreased

Jessé on  03/24/2021

The covers given by the insurer are respected. An application exists to make the claims. This makes the process easier. However, the application could be improved in terms of speed, tracking of ongoing claims and reliability. 2 years ago claims were processed in a few days. Now it can take a few weeks and I even have to restart my applications by myself in order to make sure of the refund.

way of communicating

jean-bernard on  03/19/2021

sometimes you don't know how to reach someone more efficiently...by email, by whatsap...?

Insured with GAN

frank on  03/17/2021

Insured for 2 years, I am very satisfied with my insurance and my broker Jihan who is very reactive.no problem to declare so far.

CFE + GAN by Assur Travel

Veronique on  03/16/2021

International Santé (Jihane IDOUAHMANE) has been listening to my needs from the beginning and has advised me very well. Franco-Swiss, I started in Morocco with Assur Travel (GAN at the 1st Euro then CFE+GAN with the Comfort formula, all managed by GAPIgestion). I am currently in Portugal with the same formula and the transfer was done without any problem. GAPIgestion is also very reactive and has always answered my questions and the reimbursements are done in less than 1 week. After 2 years I am fully satisfied with the services of CFE+GAN and the follow-up of the International Santé team (Jihane and Melanie).

Good, but can do better

Guillaume on  03/11/2021

Application a little bit useless, which could be much more ergonomic and could allow to really make a follow-up of the requests and refunds (today, is only used to take a picture and send the image by email...having to send the email directly)

A few things could make a big step for the 5*.

Estellebol on  02/25/2021

I am globally satisfied with the contract, however: -the premium surcharge is quite easy with this insurer -I have to scan all the documents and make the requests to the CFE while many other insurers have a "direct billing" system in almost all hospitals and nursing homes.

Many receipts

MIREILLE on  02/19/2021

I am insured with GAPI at the 1st euro, it is difficult to give an opinion because I have only used their service once, I was reimbursed in full but after having provided numerous supporting documents, but I had just become insured so it was perhaps part of their procedure for controlling new members.

Mixed opinion

Solenn on  02/19/2021

Combo CFE + Gapi not the most satisfactory because: ->Random reimbursement time. ->Communication with CFE is complicated (by post!) which slows down the procedures when requesting a prior agreement for example. ->No direct billing possible in Shanghai->Despite a subscription to the best option, Gapi is fussy about the coverage, necessary to discuss In short, we want to change health insurance.

Transparency and app

LaurentT on  02/18/2021

I just have questions about tracking my reimbursements. I would like to have a summary of what I have submitted and what is approved. The application for submitting care sheets is not well-designed. Sometimes you get an acknowledgement per piece, sometimes you don't...not clear enough.

Curtis on  02/18/2021

An insurance that meets the needs with a very efficient and friendly team of intermediaries.

Lucie on  02/03/2021

Intuitive system, easy to fill out, simple to send via the application or even by email. The insurance company is very reactive when it comes to contacts and reimbursements, I am very happy and I highly recommend it.

No worries .... so perfect for an insurance !

Marc on  01/27/2021

Catherine on  11/09/2015

I had to call Hassen to solve a problem at the beginning of the contract because nobody at asfe wanted to discuss. I have just filed a complaint because they do not intend to reimburse the cost of ultrasound for my son because I did not ask for a prior agreement. Ultrasound of the kidneys to be made urgently following a urinary infection and I underline that my son was 7 months old and 41 of fever. So no I was not going to wait 10 days to get a prior agreement...
