ABI figures reveal that last year travel insurers:
Paid out £275 million in meeting the cost of emergency medical treatments for UK travellers who fell ill abroad – or £5.3 million every week. The cost of medical expenses claims has leapt by over 270% in the last six years.
· Dealt with 337,000 claims for overseas emergency medical treatment – almost 6,500 cases a week. This number rose threefold over the last six years.
· The costs of medical treatment accounts for 55% of the total cost of all claims paid by travel insurers, compared to 33% six years ago.
Stomach upsets, ear infections, allergies and heart problems are the most common illnesses requiring medical treatment while abroad.
Claims dealt with by insurers include:
£86,000 to cover the cost of treating a holidaymaker who suffered a massive heart attack and needed to be flown home via air ambulance to the UK.
£54,000 to treat a holidaymaker who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder while holidaying in the USA and then needed to be flown back to the UK with a Doctor escort.
£20,000 to cover the cost of treating a man who had a heart infection and bleeding on the brain. Costs included treatment at two hospitals and an air ambulance back to the UK from Spain.
£11,000 to treat a holidaymaker who suffered a broken arm after a fall in Spain.
