Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

The Virtual Medical Care service is provided on a complimentary basis as part of your AIG Direct Insurance policy. You will not be charged for the GP Consultation or the Expert Case Management service.

Are there any additional costs when I use Virtual Medical Care?

There are no additional costs. Virtual Medical Care funds the cost of the service and arranges the collection, return and assessment of all relevant medical documentation when they are required. However, you will be responsible for any cost associated with any medical treatment recommended by the service. You will also be responsible for the costs of any medicines prescribed via the prescription service.

What if an Expert Case Management recommendation is different to that of my treating doctor?

The objective of the Expert Case Management service is to support, not replace, your own treating specialist. It is recommended that you share the findings of the expert medical review with your own GP and/or consultant. It is then you and your doctor's responsibility to decide the best course of action. If necessary, the Expert Case Management service could arrange further independent opinions from other experts.

Will the recommendation Expert Case Management treatment be available in the UK?

Information from an Expert Case Management review is based on established protocols and internationally approved diagnostic or therapeutic guidelines. It would be unusual for information provided by an Expert Case Management review to relate to testing or treatment that could not be provided under the NHS or medical insurer (if an eligible condition).
