Comcover Member Card
Before travelling, employees of Fund Member agencies should obtain a Comcover Member Card. This card should be kept on travellers at all times while overseas as, in the event of an emergency, it will be required by private hospitals and contains key contact and policy information.
To obtain a copy of the Comcover Member Card, please contact your agency's insurance contact or Comcover Member Services.
Intl.SOS has established an exclusive 24/7 hotline for Comcover Fund Members. This hotline can be used for all enquiries and, should it be required, will accept reverse charges from overseas.
