Is travel insurance recommended for medical travel?
Yes, we strongly recommend obtaining travel insurance! Travel Insurance in NZ does not cover elective surgery, so any costs arising from surgery, such as complications you will not be covered. However, you would still be covered if your trip was disrupted due to any reason outside of surgery.  There are American companies which provide medical insurance for elective surgery. 

​

This is to cover the work put into your bookings by me, and is in addition to any supplier cancellation or amendment fees that may also apply.
