You Have a 24-hour Accident Insurance Cover

Newsletter
22 December, 2022

DURING THE HOLIDAYS, REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE A 24-HOUR ACCIDENT INSURANCE COVER

Whether you are an official or a member of the temporary or contract staff, you are covered 24 hours a day, wherever you are throughout the world, for any accident* occurring during or even outside working hours. Bear in mind that this cover is reserved to active statutory personnel only. Family members (children, recognized partner) are not entitled to this cover even if they benefit from primary JSIS cover. Inactive staff (CCP, invalidity, retired) are not covered in the event of an accident, but if there is a “Liable third party ” a declaration must be submitted to PMO.

Tel: +32 2 29 97777.

Send the accident report to PMO : MyIntraComm > Staff> Health > Specific-events > Accident > Contact us

N.B: for personnel working in countries outside the European Union (delegations), the accident cover can be granted to persons covered by the agent (recognized partner, children) providing the accident occurred outside the European Union.

Your insurance therefore covers:
• travel to and from work,
• sports and other leisure activities, except participation in motorised competitions and high-risk sports,
• accidents of any sort in your private or family life (gardening, odd jobs around the house etc.),
• poisoning, bites of animals or of stings of insects.
Once an accident is recognised to have occurred, the victim is entitled not only to 100 % reimbursement of all medical expenses incurred, but also to monetary compensation where some degree of post-injury invalidity is recognised.

If you suffer an accident, you must:
• fill in an ‘accident report’ form (the section entitled ‘Medical certificate – Initial accident report’ must be completed by a doctor) click here
• date, sign and send it to PMO within 10 days of the accident (except in cases of force majeure);

For further information, see: https://myintracomm.ec.europa.eu/staff/en/health/specific-events/Pages/accident.aspx

IMPORTANT MESSAGE!

If there is a liable third parties do not forget to mention it on the accident report (Point 4)

One talks of liable third party when an accident involves the responsibility of another person. When filling out your declaration, it is compulsory to complete the section concerning the liable third party even if no third party is involved in the accident (in this case, declare “no liable third party”).
If a third party is involved in the accident, an additional file will be opened by another sector called subrogation.

Remember that the JSIS health insurance is not a travel insurance!
• It does not cover costs such as repatriation, search and rescue operations, travel costs of a relative.
• A part of the medical costs incurred in countries with expensive medical care could be excluded from reimbursement through the application of ceilings or the rule on excessive costs and/or reimbursement-level coefficients. The amounts remaining at your expense can therefore be very high.
• Some hospitals might not accept the direct billing by JSIS and require an immediate payment, even a cash payment.

Do not forget to purchase private travel insurance.

Needless to say, Union Syndicale can provide advice and assistance.

*With a few exceptions (manifestly reckless acts, excessive use of alcohol or drugs, deliberate handling of military weapons etc.)
