Insurance for Professional Athletes

Insurance for Professional Athletes

Global Albatross specialises in the health insurance needs of professional athletes and their families, ensuring cover that responds to the unique and diverse pressures on sporting professionals, without limitations as to the type of sport or the changing location of athletes.

At Global Albatross we understand a worldwide medical policy is only as good as the benefits that it delivers when its needed, and therefore we work with athletes to determine which plan is the most suitable depending on situation, needs and budget.

Policy Features

Portable

All policies cover athletes and their family members no matter the competition location or choice of residence.

No limitations for sporting code

Cover for professional athletes engaging in any type of sport.

Nil excess for specific benefits

The excess is cumulative, per person, per policy year and is waived for routine health checks, ground and air ambulance services, stem cells, first hospitalisation from serious accident, child wellness and maternity delivery. This means no paying toward such treatments or events.

Assistance while away from home

When an athlete requires treatment outside their normal country of residence, assistance coordinating medical appointments, hospital admission, travel, accommodation and transportation arrangements are rendered.

Personal healthcare ambassador

A registered nurse becomes your advocate when making contact, reaching out to the medical community on your behalf.

Continuation of cover

Cover of any ongoing medical conditions continues without further underwriting, even if professional sporting pursuits are discontinued.
