1. Safety first
Make sure everyone is safe. If you need immediate help, contact the local emergency services.
2. Seek medical attention
Get medical help from a doctor or hospital as soon as possible.
If it's an emergency situation, contact the local emergency services first, then contact our 24/7 Emergency Assistance Team as soon as you can.
Once you’re able to contact our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team, please be ready with the following:
- Your policy number
- A contact number for where you are now
- The nature of your problem
- Your location
Depending on where you’re travelling, there may be Reciprocal Health Care Agreements in place (the Emergency Assistance team will let you know). The terms of your policy require that you use the public health system where possible, particularly when travelling in a country with reciprocal health agreements.
If your private health/medical insurer offers medical cover for you when you're overseas, you will need to follow their notification and claims procedures before making a claim on your travel insurance policy.
3. Get it in writing
Most claims need supporting documentation and medical claims are no different. So, while it may be the last thing on your mind, get copies of documents that will support your claim before you leave the medical facility such as:
- Doctor or other medical practitioner’s report, confirming what happened and the nature of your injury.
- Hospital admission report (if you’re admitted to hospital).
- Ambulance and medical evacuation reports (if relevant).
- Provide written evidence to verify your claim, such as a police report (if they were involved).
- Any other relevant documentation related to the accident.
4. Keep your receipts
You’ll need to keep all your receipts, along with your itineraries and booking and cancellation confirmations for any affected travel arrangements for when you claim. If you don’t do this, we may reduce or reject your claim.
5. Need to know more?
This information may help you when things go wrong and you want to make a claim. All travel insurance plans are different and cover will vary, depending what's happened, your country of residence, the plan you choose and any options or upgrades you buy. Your policy will always have the full details.
If you have questions about what's covered and not covered, just ask us.
