Medical Teleconsultation Benefits for Expatriates with ACS Expat International Health Insurance

As a subscriber to ACS Expat international health insurance, you have access to medical teleconsultation services. This means you can consult a general practitioner or specialist anytime, anywhere via chat, phone, or videoconference, 24/7.

The teleconsultation service is provided in partnership with MédecinDirect, a part of Teladoc Health, the global leader in telemedicine. This partnership offers you access to consultations across more than 25 specialties.

It’s important to note that any claims for compensation — whether reimbursement or direct coverage of costs for prescribed treatments — will be processed in accordance with the general terms and conditions of your policy and your chosen level of coverage.

Please remember that MédecinDirect is not an emergency service. In the event of an emergency, contact your local general practitioner or the emergency services number in the country you are located.

For any assistance, your Health Manager is available 24/7. You can find their contact number on your insurance card.
