What is Specialist Insurance?

In this article, we wanted to address specialist insurance, which applies to various types of coverage such as travel or automobile insurance.  To explain this type of insurance, we will begin with policies relating to travel and holiday.  If you were planning to take a trip overseas, whether for personal or business purposes, you could choose to secure a standard travel insurance policy.  With this, you would be protected if you were to become ill or injured while in a different country.[br]

However, if you plan to travel but you are over the age of 65 or you have a pre-existing medical condition, instead of purchasing standard insurance for travel, you would need specialist insurance.  The coverage would be the same as a standard policy but a specialist insurance policy would be designed for someone that has unique or unusual circumstances.  Again, a person with a pre-existing illness or someone over 65 would need this type of coverage but other situations would include someone planning an extreme sports vacation, long-backpacking holiday, or being in another country for longer than one year.

Specialist insurance is designed for special circumstances, which would be for people or situations that the insurance companies deems somewhat risky.  With standard travel insurance, risk would be extremely low but based on certain factors of higher risk, specialist insurance coverage would be required.  Although the cost of this special type of insurance coverage may be a little higher because of the risk factor, considering the cost of not having insurance at all, it would be a small investment worth making.[br]

Specialist insurance would also apply to medical coverage.  Again, if someone needed to purchase medical insurance but they were faced with unique circumstances, it would be difficult, if not impossible to be approved for a standard policy.  However, this person could choose to take out a special policy that would still provide them with excellent coverage but for a higher premium.  Specialist insurance is even available for vehicles, again because of riskier circumstances.

Just as with conventional insurance coverage, if you needed specialist insurance, you definitely want to shop around for the best policy and lowest premiums.  Often, coverage can vary from one insurer to another for insurance of this type so spending some to look at all your options would be important.  For instance, some insurance companies would require specialist insurance if you were going to be in a country for longer than six months whereas another insurance company’s criteria may be one year.

Even coverage for specialist insurance could change depending on the country you plan to visit and if you were going on business or pleasure.  Because there are so many factors involved, only a skilled and reputable agent or insurance company could provide you with firm answers.  Regardless, there are times when specialist insurance is necessary so if you do not fit in a traditional policy, at least talk to an insurance agency, or company to see if a special policy would be the right solution.
