Medical Insurance Abroad

Do I need medical insurance abroad?

If you are planning to go abroad – either for a holiday or for a longer-term living situation – then you need to take out medical insurance.

This will give you peace of mind that your medical needs will be covered when you’re in a country without the NHS – so should you need emergency care, or even just care for an ongoing health condition, you’ll be covered.

Holiday Cover

It is important to obtain medical insurance prior to travelling abroad, whether for a family holiday or to pursue travel plans with friends.

If you own a private medical insurance policy you should check to see if, when abroad, your medical insurance will cover you in the event of any unexpected mishaps or illnesses.

It is recommended you seek a range of medical insurance quotes in order to find the one that most suits your personal needs. There are certain things that are expected to be covered in a medical insurance abroad policy, for example:

• Single/multiple trip or annual cover
• Family or group cover
• 24 hour medical assistance for emergencies and coverage for the costs of emergency treatments and medication
• Legal expenses and personal liability
• Cover for holidays involving high-risk activities such as skiing or diving
• Family cover or group cover for school trips
