"When I broke my back after a fall whilst trad climbing in Utah, the first thing the local hospital asked me was ‘what’s your insurance cover like?’. I had my BMC Insurance card, the hospital phoned up and checked and everything was fine. At that point they knew I was covered, and covered for the amount that allowed me to be taken to the spine unit in Colorado.
Thanks to my BMC cover, the service was incredible. I was given a private room, treated with all bells and whistles. I can’t even imagine what the journey would have been like without it, or the cost. Ten days in hospital, scans, physiotherapy, intravenous morphine… I found out that a single paracetamol tablet I had taken had cost $50, so I really can’t imagine what the final bill would have read!
BMC Travel Insurance gave me complete peace of mind at a time when I had no mind to spare."
