Food poisoning definitely isn’t on the menu for most of our travelers… but then again neither is Coronavirus (COVID-19), scooter accidents, brain aneurysms or shark bites.
We’ve seen all of these and more in our claims department at World Nomads and that’s why we think you’d have to be mad to travel anywhere overseas without Medical Travel Insurance.
If you’re accidentally injured or suddenly get ill while traveling, our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team is on hand to help you. Our coverage includes:
We can provide support in accessing medical facilities overseas, assist you with paying your bills, getting medical transport, and finding the right medical facility to treat your injury/illness.
As COVID-19 travel restrictions across the world continually change day by day, we understand that travelers want to start to plan for their future travel, and we’re here to support them in doing so. So we’ve added some coverage for COVID-19-related events on both our Standard and Explorer Plans; benefits and limits vary.
If you are diagnosed with COVID-19 while overseas, your benefits may include:
If you have purchased the Explorer Plan, you may have some coverage for trip cancellation events which are outside of your control and caused by:
Our article ‘What’s Covered for Coronavirus’ explains the benefits available if you get COVID-19 and need urgent assistance.
If you’re injured or have an illness that we believe is best treated at home, we may make the decision to repatriate you even if you don’t want to go. You must be aware that if you choose not to go, against our advice, then that will void your travel insurance with us.
The policy isn’t designed to cover everything, so take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the Policy Wording for full details so that there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered, get in touch.
It’s essential that you get in contact with our assistance teams as soon as possible so that they can support you from the time you fall sick or get injured until the time you're well again.
So that our Emergency Assistance teams can assist you quickly, please be ready with the following:
