Medical Travel Insurance

Medical Travel Insurance is important when you’re travelling abroad and do not want to have worry what would happen if you incurred an injury illness.  It provides peace of mind and crucial assistance in the event that you do fall ill or have an accident. It is usually included in travel insurance cover, which provides protection for loss, theft or damage, but is sometimes sold as a separate policy.

Some of the things often covered in medical travel insurance include:

• Rescue services, hospital, medical and treatment expenses
• Costs and repatriation if you have to return home as a result of severe injury or illness
• Annual or single trip policies depending on whether you are a frequent traveller or holidaymaker
• An emergency assistance centre that you can contact from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
• Lost passports and lost or stolen baggage
• Alternative accommodation in the event of delays
• Specialist cover for high-risk trips such as skiing or golf

There are a great number of medical travel insurance providers out there, so make sure you shop around and find a deal that is inclusive of your needs and value for money.
