How we evaluate
The checker compares each modeled requirement against product evidence. Colombia’s defining condition is that the policy covers Colombian territory; a product is only credited for it when its evidence documents coverage in Colombia (CO). Genki Native documents global coverage that includes Colombia and comprehensive care (outpatient, inpatient, maternity), so it shows GREEN. Travel-medical products and Spanish-authorized health policies either do not document Colombian-territory coverage or omit parts of the all-risk list (for example maternity), so they stay UNKNOWN rather than a guess that a foreign policy is valid in Colombia. This is the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle in action. See /methodology/ for the full logic.
Proof package checklist
- A health policy whose certificate states coverage within Colombian territory, not only worldwide wording.
- Documented cover for accident, illness, maternity, disability, hospitalization, death and repatriation.
- Validity for the full period of the intended stay in Colombia.
Common rejection traps
- Assuming a worldwide travel policy automatically satisfies the Colombian-territory requirement without it being stated.
- A policy that omits one of the listed risks (for example repatriation) from its documented cover.
- Cover that does not span the full duration of the planned stay.
