Regular Member cfmhc Posted April 1, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hi again everyone, My post last week about Australian surgeons made me consider going overseas and I'm currently researching Pekiner in Turkey. My biggest question is regarding health insurance given that you're flying overseas for a medical procedure? I know that HT are a relatively low risk procedure, but the use of twilight sedation and infections means the risk is always there. What is everyone's opinions on health insurance to cover if something were to go wrong overseas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JoeMan Posted April 1, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 1, 2022 Allianz Travel insurance is who I use but I'm from the US so I'm not positive that this applies. They seem reputable. Used them a few times but never filed a claim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is fairly low risk though - I have only read of one horror story and that was done at a hairmill. I agree, I bought mine to protect me from an extended stay due to Covid. Are you having FUT? What is twilight sedation? If it's FUE, I think they just give you a mild sedation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 3, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 3, 2022 Health insurance generally covers emergencies anywhere in the world. Keep in mind, you may have to pay out of pocket and submit for reimbursement. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

I have always taken health insurance out everytime I head overseas and it has saved my bacon big time in Thailand once. If you go to Flight Centre they recommend Covermore. I've never had a problem with them. GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
