Would this include USA if you meet the criteria

The Nationwide's insurance is for Europe only. You can pay to upgrade to worldwide.

Any idea how much Nationwide charge for worldwide and winter sports upgrades?

Edit: I called them up and its £20 for worldwide and £40 for winter sports so £60 total per person. Pointless when you can get the same cover for a couple for £60 total.

Hi, amoung my travels this yr will be a trip to NYC. I normally take annual insurance without US included - this yr it obviously will be included. My question is; how much medical cover is sufficient? What is the least I should be looking at? I certainly do not wish to end up in an American hospital being under insured! :eek:
Thanks for any advice.

The Foreign Office advise £2m for beyond Europe, but most medical insurers seem to include cover way beyond this - frequently £10m:

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

The insurance I'm looking at has 7.5mil cover so I guess that should be ok? Thanks again.

It's a personal decision, of course, but I'd be quite happy with that.

Hi. First post here so please bear with me.
I have had breast cancer. Am completley clear with no further treatment or medication ( lucky I know) My surgeon has said that I do not need to cover the cancer as I no longer have it and have had a mastectomy. What he has suggested is that I cover the implants that he left me with. I have made a few phone calls and everyone wants to cover the cancer at a cost of over 200 quid for a 30 day trip to Disney & the USA . Does anyone know of a company who insures cosmetic proceedures rather than illnesses?
