Marcus Hearn : Health Traveller

Product profile

HEALTH TRAVELLER has been designed by Marcus Hearn specifically for those persons travelling abroad in order to obtain either medical treatment, dental treatment or cosmetic surgery.

There is no restriction on which hospital or clinic or other health provider you can go to for treatment.

Although there is no cover for your medical or cosmetic reason for travel, the policy removes one of the standard exclusions in travel insurance contracts of 'travelling for the purpose of obtaining medical treatment'.

Standard travel insurance policies will generally automatically exclude ALL cover if you are travelling to obtain medical treatment.
