So if hopefully my Girl gets a visitor visa to come to the UK does anyone know off any good short to long term insurances to cover health costs while she is in the UK ?
Hi @DJB! Check this link out -http://www.malayanonline.com/products/travelmaster/travelmasterglobal. I think it was Micawber who suggested it in another thread that I read. It is valid for 90 days which I think is generous considering others would only offer it for a month. I am planning on getting it too once I have my visa.
I'm adding this for clarity :- The following services are free at the point of use for all patients. A charge cannot be made or recovered from any overseas visitor for: • accident and emergency (A&E) services, this includes all A&E services provided at an NHS hospital, e.g. those provided at an accident & emergency department, walk-in centre or urgent healthcare centre. This does not include those emergency services provided after the overseas visitor has been accepted as an inpatient, or at a follow-up outpatient appointment, for which charges must be levied unless the overseas visitor is exempt from charge in their own right; • services provided outside an NHS hospital, unless the staff providing the services are employed by, or working under the direction of, an NHS hospital; • family planning services (does not include termination of pregnancy); • diagnosis and treatment of specified infectious diseases (listed at Chapter 4); • diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections; • treatment required for a physical or mental condition caused by: – torture; – female genital mutilation; – domestic violence; or – sexual violence, except where the overseas visitor has travelled to the UK for the purpose of seeking that treatment. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploa...1/Overseas_visitor_hospital_charging_accs.pdf I've highlighted what may be an important part of the rules
You could probably register her at a doctor surgery while she's here. When my wife was here on a fiance visa we registered and they just asked if she was my partner. I said she was and that was it.
