Dear Overseas staff,

I am pleased to be sending you details of some wellness / annual health check-up packages that One World Cover has negotiated in your area. Please note that the wellness limit on your group medical insurance plan is Rmb3,500 and each of the attached packages are around this limit. We would encourage each of your members to have a comprehensive health check-up once per policy year.

Getting the right health services, screenings, and treatments, is a key part of taking steps that help improve the chances for living a longer, healthier life.

In order for your member to access any of these packages, they should simply call the clinic and request a copy of this specific package. We would suggest they bring a copy of the PDF (hard or soft copy) with them when they visit the clinic. If they having any problems please ask them to email help@oneworldcover.com – we are happy to help.

We have also included details of some packages in Bangkok, Thailand, which is a popular medical tourism destination for expats living in Asia. Please note that these are standard packages at two of Bangkok’s leading private hospitals.
