Help is there if need arises.
Knowing that medical travel shield would be there if the need arose was really helpful. I did not need any input from them on this journey - but past experiences reassured me that if problems did arise, help would be there.

So here's my review.
Absolutely cannot fault medical shield so far they have been great. I had a dental policy unfortunately I had to return for remedial work. Maureen who dealt with my claim was an absolute angel guiding me through the procedure. All went well.
I have since taken out another policy for surgery abroad, hopefully won't need it but previous experience was great so Im sure if I need to claim ill have the very same experience.

Had to make a claim for a blood transfusion following cosmetic surgery in Turkey. The process was all done on email and was very quick with my claim being authorised within 4 days of me making contact
Great service easy to set up.

In terms of making the purchase no issues at all. Very straight forward. As I have not had to make a claim I cannot comment on what the full experience would be like
Never had a problem getting a policy with these guys.
My experience has been good with these as in purchasing quoting although I have never had to make a claim this will be my third time using them, so far so good. I reached out to customer service for a discount code as a returning customer and all good. Recommended.

I can give 5 stars because, luckily, did not have to use it so can only comment on the buying process. Process to buy, on-line, was very easy. Gave me peace of mind that my partner would be covered to get home if anything happened to me!
Peace of mind
Simple to apply and easy to gain a quote for exactly what was needed. Fortunately we had no issues with our treatment and there for did not need to test the efficiency of claiming.
It was great peace of mind.

Top insurance for hair transplant clinic Antalya turkey big thanks you
Easy to apply for.
Very satisfied with the service.
I was recommended MTS prior to going for my surgery abroad. I needed to stay an extra couple of days and email MTS to inform them, I received a prompt response from Laura with advice on what I would need to do next. I put in my claim a few months later and again, Laura responded quickly, confirmed I was eligible, gave me my calculation and all was sorted! Very satisfied with the service.
Faultless…beyond amazing service
Faultless! This company went above and beyond to help me with my claim (especially Maureen who was extremely helpful and understanding and her communication was excellent and commitment to getting my case sorted was exemplary) I would not hesitate you recommend.
Very easy process
Very easy process. Heather went above and beyond to get my claim pre approved with very little notice. She was extremely helpful. Simple process just 1 form to fill in and a few evidence documents. Payment was sent within 3 days of me completing and sending forms. Definitely an insurance worth having
Excellent company, amazingly fast payouts
An insurance company's rating has to be based not on how easy it is to take out a policy, or even the price of the policy (all important, of course), but what happens when something goes wrong.
I unfortunately had to make a claim recently to go back for revision surgery and they did not make me go through hoops or question the surgeon's assessment that a revision was necessary - the reimbursement process for my expenses was transparent and simple.
I was paid within ONE day after sending in all my receipts. If only they did home insurance!
