Why travel insurance?
Emergency treatment outside Iraq can be very expensive, and some countries, such as the Schengen states, require travel medical insurance for a visa.
What to check
- Medical cover limits
- Medical evacuation and repatriation
- Lost or delayed baggage
- Trip cancellation or curtailment
- Pre-existing conditions, which are often excluded
- Hazardous activities, if you plan any
Before you go
Carry a copy of your policy and the assistance number, and know how to ask for help in an emergency.
If you need treatment
Call the assistance number before treatment whenever you can, and keep the medical reports and invoices for your claim.
