Do
you have any travel insurance? Have you stopped
to think about how expensive your holiday might
suddenly become if anything were to happen and
you required medical assistance without insurance?
Most hospitals outside the UK won't even look
at a patient until they have a credit card on
file to take payment for any treatment required.
Hospital treatment outside the United Kingdom
can be extremely expensive, especially if the
problem is so severe you have to be transported
back to your home country for further emergency
treatments. Travel insurance generally covers
you in all these circumstances so you are reimbursed
for these hospital costs, often as well as travel,
allowances, and various other forms of compensation
covered under your poilcy.
It
is always best to check your individual cover
however as all travel insurance policies differ.
Without travel insurance you are at high risk
of running up large bills should something unfortunate
happen to you whilst abroad. Even a basic travel
insurance policy normally gives you some peace
of mind with basic cover to pay for your treatments
if you were suddenly rushed into hospital abroad.
You have probably heard the horror stories of
holiday-makers being hit with hospital bills for
many thousands of pounds simply because they didn't
have insurance - don't let that be you. Request
