Its not just the financial impactwhen disaster strikes.
Not all hospitals are like the ones at home. Imagine being in
hospital where appropriate medical facilities are not available.
Medical staff that dont speak English and equipment is
limited to a stethoscope and a bandage. Or even just simply
trying to rearrange your disrupted travel plans. Sometimes
you just need help.
QBEs inhouse travellers assistance team OMEGA has
been providing assistance to travellers in need since
1992. OMEGA is a team of trained medical and insurance
specialists available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 daysa year. They are able to make decisions about your situation
and can provide assistance with things such as:
assessing and monitoring your condition after an accident or illness;
medical repatriation, if required;
guaranteeing payment of hospital and medical bills;
rescheduling disrupted travel plans;
replacement of lost tickets, passports or travel documents;
arrangement of emergency transfer of funds;
interpreters in non-English speaking overseas hospitals; and
urgent messages to your family or travel agent.
Providing assistance is not in itself an admission of liability
for your claim and where relevant all services are subject to
a claim being accepted under the policy.
