While preparing for international travel or relocation to a work assignment abroad,
there are questions that should be as important as what to pack:
If you become ill, what assurances do you have that you be able to access quality
healthcare? And, what resources will you have to be well and stay well?
If you have an accident in a non-metropolitan area, how will you get to the “closest”
hospital, which may be many, many miles away?
If you become disabled, how will you pay your bills if you can’t work?
Do you have direct-bill privileges with the medical facilities that you will be utilizing?
Are you able to track your health insurance claims through a customer-friendly
website?
With GBG’s portfolio of insurance products, individuals can gain peace of mind and have
access to quality healthcare, no matter where their overseas assignments or international
travels may take them. GBG offers several Health Insurance plans which include features
such as our worldwide direct-bill network and medical evacuation services, which will take
you to the nearest qualified facility in the event of an accident or life-threatening
emergency.
Most people understand the importance of having life insurance to provide financial
security in the event of death, but it is difficult to obtain coverage in a foreign country. And,
being away from your home country does not mean accidents and disability may not follow.
GBG offers a wide variety of Life and Income Replacement plans, with flexible policy
features and responsive individual service.
Each plan is custom designed for:
Expatriates of Any Nationality
Local Nationals
High Net-Worth Individuals
Business or Leisure Travelers

► Long Term Disability (LTD)
The purpose of Long Term Disability (LTD) is to provide individuals protection against financial hardships resulting from disability, sickness
and accidents that make the insured person unable to work. In the event that an insured person becomes disabled as a result of an injury or
illness, LTD provides an income benefit based on a percentage of the annual salary. The benefit becomes payable after a waiting period until
recovery, death or attainment of retirement age.
► Short Term Disability (STD)
Short Term Disability (STD) benefits are used to provide “gap” coverage during the LTD waiting period. With STD, waiting periods can run for
as little as 7 days.
► Permanent Total Disability (PTD)
Unlike LTD and STD, which pay over a certain period, Permanent Total Disability (PTD) pays out a lump-sum payment if the insured can no
longer perform his or her own occupation. With advances in modern medicine, you are more likely to survive a serious accident than to die from
it. For this reason, a PTD benefit provides a lump-sum payment to a person who suffers a disability or a physical dismemberment as a result of
a covered accident or illness. PTD is offered as a stand-alone product or as part of Disability Plus. PTD is subject to a waiting period; those
who are looking to bypass PTD’s Deferred Period often choose Disability Plus, which includes Temporary Total Disability (TTD).
► Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D)
A special limited type of term insurance, Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) pays out a lump-sum payment in the event of a
disability or death caused by an accident. Often thought of as "catastrophic protection" or Personal Accident insurance, AD&D is offered as a
stand-alone product, as a rider to term life insurance, or as part of Disability Plus.
► Disability Plus (PTD-TTD)
Disability Plus is a cornerstone to protecting your family’s financial well-being by planning for unforeseen accidents. Policies that provide
coverage for Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D), Permanent Total Disability (PTD) and Temporary Total Disability (TTD) are vital
pieces to a well-rounded insurance portfolio. To save you time and money, and to help protect your financial future, you can now purchase
Disability Plus and receive the benefits of all three coverages – AD&D, PTD and TTD.
AD&D, also known as Personal Accident insurance, pays out a lump-sum payment in the event of a disability or death caused by an accident.
PTD provides a full payment of the policy’s total face amount for covered injuries or illnesses. The PTD benefit is triggered if the insured longer
can perform his or her own occupation.
TTD, the third leg of the coverage, provides insurance in the event of an accident that prevents the insured from performing his or her own
occupation during the Deferred Period before the PTD coverage commences.
Disability Plus offers a high benefit level that can be up to 10 times salary with a $2 million maximum.

► Innovation Life+
Innovation Life+ provides the protection of life
insurance AND assurance of saving for the
future at the same time. Our Life Insurance
and Accidental Death & Dismemberment
(AD&D) plans can be customized with optional riders to fit your unique needs. A Coma
Benefit of $25,000 is provided with both plans in the event that you require the use of life
support systems. Innovation Life+ provides the flexibility to change your insurance
coverage levels as your lifestyle changes.
► Key Person
Key Person is designed to protect a business in the event of the death of an executive or
key team member who makes a significant contribution toward the profitability or stability of
the business. Death benefits range from $500,000 to $5 million, typically with 10- or 20-
year terms. The death benefit is typically paid to the employer or to venture capitalists who
funded the company, and plan benefits are used to replace lost revenue or fund the search
for a replacement professional. This allows investors and creditors to protect their
investment.
