Medical and Other Emergencies

The Medical Emergency Assistance Company, CEGA Assistance, will provide immediate help if you are ill, injured or die outside the United Kingdom. They provide a 24-hour emergency service 365 days a year.

Phone: +44 (0)1473 351 755
Scheme Code: A01301

Show Further Details

The claim notification must be made within 31 days or as soon as possible after that following any bodily injury, illness, disease, incident, event, redundancy or the discovery of any loss, theft or damage which may lead to a claim under this policy.

This is not a private medical insurance. If you go into hospital abroad and you are likely to be kept as an inpatient for more than 24 hours or if your outpatient treatment is likely to cost more than £500, someone must contact the Medical Emergency Assistance Company for you as soon as reasonably possible.

If they do not, we may not provide cover or we may reduce the amount we pay for your inpatient or outpatient treatment. If you have to return to the United Kingdom under section C (Cutting your trip short) or section B1 (Medical and other expenses outside of the United Kingdom) the Medical Emergency Assistance Company must authorise this. If they do not, we may not provide cover or we may reduce the amount we pay for your return to the United Kingdom.

Please have the following information available when you (or someone on your behalf) contact the Medical Emergency Assistance Company so that your case can be dealt with swiftly and efficiently:

  • Your name and address;
  • Your contact phone number abroad;
  • Your policy number shown on your policy schedule; and
  • The name, address and contact phone number of your GP.
