Cosmetic

We can provide you with everything that you would expect from standard travel insurance including; lost or stolen items, accidental illness or injury and cancellations or curtailments outside of your control.
What makes Medical Travel Shield Australia different?
As well as standard cover, we provide additional benefits tailored for you as a patient within the same policy.
Those tailored benefits being:
Travel and accommodation expenses over and above and the normal recovery period
Medical Travel Shield Australia will cover for costs if you have to stay at your destination longer than the normal recovery period on medical grounds.
Medical and additional expenses
We will pay for any medical expenses incurred if you have a life threatening complication during surgery that occurs during the planned treatment and is secondary to the pre-agreed treatment plan prior to departure.
Additional return trip within 12 months of the original treatment
We can cover economy return travel, accommodation and living expenses if your original treatment is medically assessed as unsuccessful and it is medically necessary to return to the same hospital/clinic within 12 months for corrective treatment. We do not cover the cost of the corrective treatment.
Cosmetic procedures can include:
Aesthetic/Plastic surgery
Laser eye surgery
Hair transplant
Weight loss procedures such as bariatric/gastric procedures are considered elective procedures for the purpose of this insurance.
