Don’t forget to renew your travel insurance

1. April 2010 by David Tompkins

I read recently an article about an Australian living in Thailand shall expire its travel medical insurance work. Shortly after he woke one morning urinating blood and when he went to the hospital it home remember, that it was a urinary infection.Returned after a few days in the hospital he reduced and would be diagnosed with what was the intensive care, as a rare blood disorder known by the abbreviation TTP – a condition begins coagulation time and zugelassen.Bis of the 1980s requires extensive transfusions through the blood there is no known treatment, and it was fatal in about 90 percent of cases.

After about two days in the hospital in Samui, the Bill was approximately $ 10,000. The Australian was evacuated in a private hospital in Bangkok in a Charter flight costs approximately $ 13,000. Ward after 10 days in intensive care and four days was approximately 86,950.00 US passengers $ invoiced.The Aussie beklagt later that he had requested, in a “cheaper” hospital, but he died as a result have kann.Ich find it unbelievable that someone who is sick in a cheap Thai would go hospital. In any case he had to rotate to his parents, to pay the Bills as Thai authorities threatened him with prison if the invoice is not paid.

The obvious lesson from this story is to ensure that you renew your travel insurance as will the insurance company to not pay claims if you forget or do not care to renew the insurance policy.I understand from items that was this emigrants in Thailand for eight years – if this was the case, he had a foreign health insurance policy, rather than a short-term travel meant medical policy really Onyl for trips up to 1 or 2 years on the besten.Dies an important lesson that all emigrants or travelers daran.Jeden month meet is we who run health insurance your international medical insurance or Tarvel haben.Einige company renew your policy without problems, while others do not renew or ask the client to obtain a trademark policy.
