ORCA Medical Travel Insurance

UKODA have secured the services of ORCA Medical Travel Insurance for its international patients.

ORCA Medical Travel Insurance is underwritten out of Lloyds of London with its registration in Gibraltar. This policy will be exclusive to all clinics that are accredited by UKODA, and a standard commission arrangement will be in place for the benefit of those dental companies promoting this insurance to their clients.

Between 150,000 and 200,000 people travelled to abroad last year in search of the perfect smile at the perfect price. The downside to this statistic is that too high a percentage of these people travelled with no credible insurance that would protect them should they need to return to the clinic through no fault of their own for remedial treatment and at the same time save the dental provider from having to fund client return journeys.

ORCA have now created the perfect insurance policy for the international patient with some of the following inclusions along with all the standard inclusions you would expect to find within a travel insurance policy:

All flights and accommodation are covered should the client have to return to their clinic for remedial treatment.
The ability to use the insurance cover for remedial treatment within the United Kingdom.
The ability to claim up to 70% of loss of earnings if having to return to the clinic through no fault of their own and the treatment cannot be addressed in the UK (namely, implant failure).
All claims would be answered within 24 hours and a decision of acceptance of the claim made within 5 working days once all relevant documents have been received.
All claims would be settled within 7 working days of receiving the clients’ receipts of travel once they return to the UK.

This insurance has been very carefully designed to deliver a higher level of assurance to the client and at the same time take away the pressure from the dental supplier regarding the arrangement of the returning client.
