Pre-travel GP roll out
COVER-MORE is now offering pre-travel doctor consultations as an extension of the insurer’s Travel GP service.
The consultations are provided over the phone by an Australian doctor and involve a full medical assessment covering medical history, travel plans, destinations and timing.
A plan of care is then provided, including recommended immunisations and medical kit essentials, with any prescriptions issued ahead of travel.
The customer is also emailed a summary of their consultation, including emergency contact details and instructions for when they are overseas.
The service is available by appointment when customers purchase a Cover-More policy.
Since 2015, Cover-More’s Travel GP service has offered 24-hour access to Australian doctors via video or phone.
