Ellen, a 65-year-old lady, was in France when she slipped and fell in her hotel bathroom injuring her arm and forehead. At a local hospital, x-rays showed that she had fractured her elbow and she had to wear an arm cast. Ellen also received stitches for a deep cut on her forehead. Her travel agent contacted AIG for assistance with her return travel arrangements as the tour group had to move on to another destination.

AIG Travel spoke to her treating doctor for more information and obtained her medical report. After a review was completed, we approved cover and provided a guarantee of payment to the hospital.

Wheelchair service at the airports and ground transfers at both ends were also arranged to make her travel more comfortable.

Jason was on Bali Island for a diving trip when after a session, he started experiencing dizziness, pain and numbness in his arms, legs and back. He sought treatment at the local hospital and the treating doctor confirmed that Jason had decompression sickness. 

AIG Travel learned that Jason needed several rounds of therapy. We approved cover after reviewing his medical report. When the hospital declined a guarantee of payment directly from us, we activated a local provider to do so.

Wheelchair service at the airports and ground ambulance transfers at both ends were arranged also. Jason safely arrived home and was to have a follow up check at a local hospital.

After speaking to his treating doctor, AIG Travel learned that although his injury was not critical, surgery was necessary. Gloria expressed her preference to have the procedure done back home in Hong Kong so we worked with the treating doctor and the airline for clearance to travel.

We then booked both mother and child on the next flight out with additional seats to make sure they were comfortable. We also arranged for a non-medical escort to take care of them throughout their return journey, as well as wheelchair service at the airports and ground transfers at both ends.

We quickly got in touch with his treating doctor and learned that although the MRI had not shown any fractures it was likely that Edward had sustained spinal bone dislocation. After reviewing his condition, it was concluded that Edward required prolonged hospitalization and medical care and it would be best to get him home as soon as possible. Later the same day, after approving cover we arranged for a ground ambulance and a doctor-and-nurse escort team to bring him back home.  After Edward safely arrived in Hong Kong, he was directly admitted to the hospital.
