Private health care

Bluey32

well I saw my specialist ti night
 He is completely scratching his head.cus he can't cure me or make my systems any better. He has taken some fotos of my belly  & he's flying to Barcelona for a conference he will be having a  discussion about me to the top man. I might have to go to Barcelona to see the top man. ? will my private insurance cover this?  Or will I have to find my trip myself?

You`ll need to check with your health insurers to see if the Barcelona trip is covered. This is something quite rare to NHS patients.
let us know how it goes xxx

Oh, it would cost a fortune to go abroad for medical treatment. Is there any chance this chap might be coming to the UK at all?

Hello @Bluey32

You may need to fund your trip yourself. This is a comparison article on funding pathways for medical treatment in Europe.

Hi @Bluey32, unfortunately this will be something that is very individual to you. Were you seeing if the insurance would cover the treatment there or if it would mean you are insured medically while you are there?
