Whom to call for emergency medical repatriation to London

London is one of the most visited cities in the world – it has something for everyone. From culture and history to food and nightclubs, the city has a lot to offer to travelers. Although life in London is full of excitement, even Londoners like to travel abroad every now and then. While most people travel to other European countries, many people will go further afield.

Whether you are traveling close to home or overseas, you never know when you might face a medical emergency or even be in need of repatriation/emergency evacuation, so it’s extremely important to take out travel insurance that covers the cost of medical repatriation or evacuation. And when you do, be sure to always check with your insurance company their repatriation policies (whether or not you have any pre-existing medical conditions) specifically in times of the coronavirus pandemic.

Whom To Call For Emergency Medical Repatriation to London

Unfortunately, most people who buy travel insurance don’t read the small print of their insurance policy, to see what is covered and what is not, by their insurance company and even less read the finer details of their travel insurance and medical evacuation policy – until there is a medical emergency and they require assistance. We have seen several patients and their family members become very upset after finding out that their insurance does not cover the cost of repatriation to London (or any repatriation cover), or only partially covers the costs of a medical evacuation or repatriation.

Emergency medical treatment in a foreign country is not only expensive but it also may not be of the same standard that you would receive at home be it the level of assistance or the quality of your treatment. For years, we have been offering emergency medevac (medical evacuation) services to people who live in London and require swift transport back home due to their medical conditions. That, no matter the terms of their insurance policy.
