CLAIM

For Emergency Assistance:

If you are sick or injured abroad and need medical assistance, for example, a hospital referral to an approved network provider; or in the event of a serious incident, such as a natural disaster, political unrest, unlawful detainment, kidnapping or death, please contact us as soon as reasonably practical to do so.

It is imperative that authorisation is obtained prior to any medical treatment and/or evacuation/repatriation taking place.

Due to poor telephone signal connections which can happen around the world, we recommend where possible that you contact us via email to avoid any unnecessary delays and a member of our 24/7 assistance team will respond promptly.

24/7 Assistance Email: assist@hotspotcover.com

If it is not possible to send an email, you can call +44 20 3790 7060 from anywhere in the world.

  • The Policy Number
  • The Insured Person’s Name
  • The Insured Person’s Location
