Medical Claims

The policy covers medical emergencies only. In the event of a medical emergency whilst overseas you should contact:

Medical Emergency Helpline +44 (0)1243 621066 (quote policy (100782764GPA)

This helpline operates 24 hours a day 365 days a year and will provide assistance with arranging treatment, payment of hospital bills/doctor’s charges and emergency repatriation. It is important that you, or someone representing you, contact the Medical Emergency Helpline before you incur any substantial costs, since failure to do so may invalidate your claim under the University's business travel insurance policy.

All Other Claims

All reasonable precautions must be taken to avoid or minimise loss and to recover property.

All claims MUST be reported to the University’s Insurance Services Team within 50 calendar days of the occurrence/event for which you wish to make a claim for by submitting a Loss Report Form. Any Loss Report Forms received after this time may be declined and no payment will be made by our insurers. All claims are processed by the University of Warwick Insurance Services department, except for where the Medical Emergency Helpline is used.

Please use the Loss Report Form below and send this by email to insuranceservices@warwick.ac.uk and r.campbell-kelly@warwick.ac.uk
