What makes Medical Travel Shield travel insurance different?
As well as standard cover, we provide additional benefits in your travel insurance with dental cover which are tailored for you as a patient within the same policy.
Those tailored benefits include:
Costs towards travel, accommodation and daily living expenses if you have to stay at your destination longer than the normal recovery period on medical grounds.
Medical and additional expenses up to £2 million, including repatriation, in the event of a life threatening complication occurring from your planned procedure/treatment.
If within 12 months of returning home, you suffer a medical complication relating to the original treatment and a qualified medical practitioner in the UK confirms that you should return to your original destination, you can claim costs towards return travel, accommodation and daily living expenses. **
