Conditions particulières
- In the event of discrepancy between the General Conditions of Insurance, the Special Conditions and the Particular Conditions, the Particular Conditions shall prevail over the Special Conditions and the General Conditions of Insurance, and the Special Conditions shall prevail over the General Conditions of Insurance. The English version of all relevant literature and documentation shall prevail over any other language or translation. p. 3
- Terms capitalized in this document, unless explicitly defined otherwise, will bear the meanings specified in the Glossaries outlined in the Special and the General Conditions of Insurance. p. 3
- The Insurer offers insurance cover for Diseases, Bodily Injuries, and other occurrences leading to insured events as outlined in the Insurance Policy. Upon the occurrence of an insured event, the Insurer reimburses the expenses related to Medically necessary Treatment and other agreed Benefits, contingent upon the conditions set forth in the Insurance Policy and statutory regulations. Under the current Special Conditions and within specified limits, the Insurer covers the medical expenses for each of the Insured Persons identified in the Insurance Policy. p. 3
- The Insurance Policy is designed for expatriates. Anyone who stays abroad for at least 3 (three) months is eligible for insurance cover unless the Insurer agrees otherwise. Should the Insured Person decide to return to their Home Country and establish it as their Country of residence, the continuity of their policy can be maintained with the Insurer's approval. p. 3
- The Plan level, as selected by the Policyholder in the Application Form, is defined by the nature and extent of Benefits set out in the Special Conditions. Based on the selected Plan, the Insurer will reimburse Eligible Expenses up to 100% of the Annual Overall Limit specified in the scope of Benefits, unless expressly stated otherwise in the Terms and Conditions of Insurance. p. 6
- Insurance cover applies to insured events occurring in the following areas, as selected by the Policyholder in the Application Form: Geographical Area I: Worldwide including USA. Geographical Area II: Worldwide excluding USA. p. 5
- Insured Persons have the flexibility to select any licensed Doctors, Dentists, or Therapists within the country where they need medical or dental Treatment, and this choice extends to other healthcare Practitioners. p. 7
- These rates refer to expenses associated with approved and covered medical services or supplies, not exceeding the standard fees charged by other providers of similar standing in the same Geographical Area, offering comparable Treatment for a similar illness and/or injury. For services by other Therapists, such as masseurs, midwives, or Practitioners of complementary medicine, reimbursement will be based on comparable fees for Doctors and customary prices in the country where the Treatment occurs. p. 7
- Insurance cover includes dental materials and laboratory work based on average prices in the country of Treatment. Dental procedures like dentures, Implants, dental surgery, and orthodontic Treatment, even when performed by a Doctor in a Hospital, are not considered part of inpatient or Outpatient Treatment. p. 7
- Under the Insurance Policy, the Insurer will reimburse expenses for examinations, Treatment methods, and Drugs widely accepted in Conventional Medicine. Additionally, costs for methods and Drugs proven in practice or used due to the unavailability of Conventional Medicine are eligible for reimbursement. However, Benefits may be limited to amounts equivalent to what would have been paid if Conventional Medicine had been accessible. p. 7
- The Insurers service and assistance network of competent and experienced partners on the ground offers the Insured Persons individual support worldwide as well as comprehensive, competent consultation for any situation. This network is represented in more than 180 countries. When the insurance cover provided for under the Insurance Policy ends, the Insured Person will no longer be entitled to these services. p. 29

Lacunes d'extraction
- Risk carrier: this document never names the carrier in words. It refers throughout to "the Insurer" and its Glossary (section 6) does NOT define that term - clause 1.1 states that capitalized terms not defined here "will bear the meanings specified in the Glossaries outlined in the Special and the General Conditions of Insurance", and the General Conditions of Insurance are a separate document that is not part of this file. The only company named anywhere in the document is Foyer Global Health S.A. (Registered Office, 12, rue Léon Laval, L-3372 Leudelange, Luxembourg, R.C.S. Luxembourg B 134.471, VAT LU22284578) in the publisher's imprint on p. 43. The task metadata gives the same insurer, and no divergence was found; but the identification rests on the imprint, not on a clause of the document. A "Service Centre" is repeatedly mentioned alongside the Insurer and is likewise never named.
- Document type: the metadata supplied with this task is conditions_generales and has been copied through, but the document calls itself "Journey - Special Conditions (Plans Basic, Extensive, Advanced and Premium)" on its cover and in the running head of every page, and clause 1.1 places it expressly BETWEEN the Particular Conditions (which prevail over it) and the General Conditions of Insurance (over which it prevails). It is therefore one contractual layer of the Journey product and not the general conditions themselves; several matters normally found in general conditions - the definition of "Insurer", the policy duration, renewal and termination rules, the claims-submission procedure, applicable law, jurisdiction and any prescription period - are absent from this file and were not imported from anywhere else.
- edition_date left null: the document prints no element labelled as an edition or version date. The only date-like token is the footer code "GH_JOY_LT_SC_25.11" on p. 43, recorded as reference; the document nowhere states that "25.11" is an edition date.
- Scope of Benefits tables (3.5 to 3.12, pp. 7-17): Plan membership is NOT in the text layer. The marks are vector drawings - an 11.3 x 11.3 pt tick glyph for "Insured, i.e. the Insurer will reimburse 100 % of the Eligible Expenses" and a 10.1 x 10.0 pt cross for "Reimbursement is excluded from the scope of Benefits" (legend on p. 4), both filled in the same dark brown. Each mark was assigned to a column by its x-centre against the header centres (Basic 241.1 / Extensive 326.2 / Advanced 411.2 / Premium 496.2 pt, column width 85.0 pt) and to a row by the row rules (width 141.9 pt). Every mark on every page was placed inside a column and a row: p. 8 41 marks, p. 9 48, p. 10 36, p. 11 20, p. 12 28, p. 13 28, p. 14 29, p. 15 20, p. 16 32, p. 17 32. These facts are recorded in the structured fields only; being drawings and not text, they cannot be supported by a verbatim quote.
- Some rows carry an amount or a qualifying phrase INSTEAD of a mark, and this is recorded rather than smoothed over: Annual Overall Limit (p. 7) and Maximum Outpatient Limit (p. 10) carry only amounts in all four columns; Maximum dental limit (p. 14) carries "n.a." or an amount; Major dental services (p. 15) carries an amount in the Advanced and Premium columns and nothing in Basic and Extensive; Therapeutic aids and appliances (p. 8) carries the qualifying wording with no mark in Basic, Extensive and Advanced and a tick in Premium; and seven dental rows on p. 14 carry "Max. dental limit applies" with no mark in the Extensive column. Each such case is stated in the coverage's conditions.
- is_optional: the product is sold in four Plan levels rather than with optional add-ons. is_optional is false where a Benefit carries a tick in Basic, Extensive, Advanced AND Premium, and null where at least one Plan carries the cross or no mark, because a boolean cannot express "insured in the Advanced and Premium Plans only"; the exact Plan membership is the first entry of each coverage's conditions. The genuinely optional elements are the Deductible and Co-Payment (3.3), the inclusion of Pre-Existing Conditions at application (1.3) and the moratorium (1.4), flagged is_optional true.
- The asterisks in the outpatient and dental tables are explained by the tables' own footnotes: "Max. outpatient limit applies" (p. 11) and "Max. dental limit applies" (p. 15). Amounts are reproduced verbatim including the inconsistent currency-order printing (for example "Up to EUR 250 / 325 USD / GBP 210 / CHF 232.50" on p. 12 and "EUR 250 / USD 325 / GBP 210 / 232.50 CHF" on p. 14) and the Out-of-Pocket wording "EUR 1,500 / USD 1,950 USD / GBP 1,260 / CHF 1,395" on p. 6, where "USD" is printed twice.
- The text layer contains 4 soft hyphens (U+00AD) inside words broken at a line end - "prosthe-ses" (p. 8) and "non-pre-scribed" (p. 10, three occurrences) - and about fifty non-breaking spaces. Quotations were sliced programmatically from the text layer and deliberately routed around these breaks; the structured fields spell the words normally.
- Typographical oddities preserved as printed: "self-inflected injuries" (exclusion on intent/gross negligence), "extreme tourism (e,g, tours to Antarctica)", "the woman is aged under 40 (fourty)", "under the age of 18 (eight-teen)", "midwifeled births", "exceeds what is Medically necessity", "Conventual medicine" (Glossary, Acupuncture), "a Geographical Area different for the one agreed". These are the insurer's own text and have not been corrected.
- prescription_period, applicable law, place of jurisdiction, complaint handling, policy duration, renewal and termination: none of these are set out in this document, which regulates the scope of Benefits only. duration_and_cancellation carries the two termination rights that the document does state (clause 1.2) plus the glossary definition of Policy Period; the remaining fields are left null rather than filled from another document.
- Page numbers in every block are PDF page numbers. The folio printed in the running head ("Page N of 43") matches the PDF page number on every page checked (2 to 42).
