Whether you need a diagnosis, private prescription, or second opinion, our team of doctors are on hand 24/7 to assess your case and give you the medical care you deserve.

The Virtual Medical Care service is provided on a complimentary basis to AIG Direct Insurance policyholders.

The right care when you need it most

Virtual Medical Care is a non-emergency service that consists of two key benefits:

GP Consultations

Round-the-clock access to GPs for medical advice, private prescriptions or private specialist referrals.

Discuss and resolve health concerns with experienced General Medical Council (GMC) licensed GPs. 

Available 24/7, whether you’re at home or abroad.

Expert Case Management

Assessments by leading experts for complex medical cases or second opinions. 

Medical specialists to review and provide recommendations on complex cases or treatment plans. 

Personal case managers, who are GPs, will assist you through the entire process.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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. 

The goal of the Expert Case Management service is to provide additional support to your treating specialist, rather than replace them. To ensure comprehensive care, it is advised that you share the results of the expert medical review with your own GP and/or consultant. Ultimately, you and your doctor are responsible for determining the most appropriate course of action based on the information provided. If necessary, the Expert Case Management service could arrange further independent opinions from other experts.

An Expert Case Management review is conducted based on established protocols and globally recognized diagnostic or therapeutic guidelines. It is highly unlikely that any information provided by the review would refer to testing or treatment that cannot be provided through the NHS or a medical insurer (if the condition is eligible).
