Caring for your health abroad

Wherever you are in the world, Helsinki or Hong Kong, you want to know that you have access to quality medical treatment whenever you need it.

Having private healthcare in place to complement local medical support helps you get medical care you can be confident of when you’re living or working outside the UK for six months or more. HiFX has partnered with Aviva, the UK’s largest and the worlds 6th largest Insurer, to offer their valued customers access to Aviva’s flexible International Solutions private medical insurance.

International Solutions is Aviva’s international health insurance policy. It’s a great idea to have a policy like this in place if you’re working or living outside the UK, because the quality and cost of medical treatment overseas can vary. International Solutions can give you:

- access to unlimited leading private healthcare facilities, worldwide - costs based on the region you’re living in, with options and benefits to suit you - peace of mind with 24 hour multi-lingual medical assistance

What’s more, there is £50 of British Corner Shop vouchers for every HiFX customer taking out an Aviva International Private Medical Insurance policy.
