SafetyWing Remote Health: What Happens to Your Cover When You Leave

Leaving your job? Your SafetyWing Remote Health insurance ends at midnight on your termination date. Claims, your own policy and who to ask.

When your job ends, your SafetyWing Remote Health cover ends at midnight on your termination date, at the end of your last working day. SafetyWing does not pay for any treatment after that date. Your dependents' cover ends at the same time.

Important: Treatment after your cover ends is not covered, even for an illness or injury that started before. If you have planned treatment, ask your HR Manager for your last day of cover.


When your SafetyWing cover ends

When you leave, Outstaffer AI asks SafetyWing in writing to cancel your SafetyWing Remote Health cover from your termination date. Once you are officially off the payroll, your cover expires at midnight on your termination date.

For example, if your last working day is 2 June, your cover ends at midnight on 2 June.

SafetyWing then sends you an email with your last day of cover. Your HR Manager can also tell you the date.


What SafetyWing pays for after you leave

  • Treatment before your cover ends: SafetyWing pays covered costs for treatment you had before your cover ended.

  • Treatment after your cover ends: not covered, even if the illness or accident started before, and even if you need more treatment.

  • Prescriptions: any part of a prescription that you use after your cover ends is not covered.

These rules come from SafetyWing Remote Health Community Plan 5.0, which applies from 1 October 2026.


Claims for treatment before you leave

You can still claim for covered treatment you had before your SafetyWing cover ended. Send the claim within 180 days of the date of treatment. SafetyWing does not pay claims it receives after 180 days.

Keep your itemised invoices, proof of payment and medical reports. Read SafetyWing Remote Health: How to Make a Claim for the steps.


Continuing health cover after you leave

SafetyWing's cancellation email also invites you to apply for a SafetyWing Individual Remote Health policy. This would be your own policy with SafetyWing, not part of your job. SafetyWing sets its price and terms, so check them with SafetyWing before you apply.


Who to contact

  • Your last day of cover: contact your HR Manager.

  • Claims for treatment before you left: email SafetyWing at [email protected].

  • Your own SafetyWing policy after you leave: use the invitation in SafetyWing's cancellation email.

This article is general information, not your full policy. The full terms are in the SafetyWing Remote Health policy document for your plan: Essential, Standard and Premium.
