Travel insurance for medical?

We have never had any but talk on here makes me question if we should get it.  The only coverage I would be looking for is medical/dental when in UK (or other countries in the future.)  Suggestions?

  • If you are visiting the UK and you have any problems you can go to A&E and they will treat you for free. It wouldn't be worth the cost of insurance.

  • My parents lived in the UK for a year and they were required to pay out of pocket for their care. Nothing was free. They were able to submit it to their US insurance though. Most US insurance will cover some out of country care. I would verify.

    All A&E (ER) care is free to everyone, no matter if you are from there or live there, in the UK. If you go to the GP then it is not free if you are a visitor. I would imagine your parents were there on a visa if they were there for a year? They should have been able to get care through the NHS if they were there on a visa.
