Medical Travel Insurance

While the risks of medical complications are low, all surgical and invasive procedures carry certain risks, and complications can and do occur. NipTuck Holidays is proud to partner with the right insurance specialists to make sure you’re covered before you travel.

Our Insurance Partners

NipTuck Holidays partners with Medical Travel Shield Australia — a specialised medical travel insurance designed specifically for patients travelling abroad for cosmetic surgery, dental treatment, elective surgery, or specialised medical treatment abroad.

Many standard Australian travel insurance policies exclude travel for the sole purpose of medical treatment, leaving you exposed when you need protection most. Medical Travel Shield Australia was created specifically to close that gap, with this cover extending to your travelling companions.

Medical Travel Shield Australia is provided by ATC Insurance Solutions Pty Ltd, underwritten by Lloyd’s of London — the world’s specialist insurance market, operating for over 325 years with an A+ rating from Standard & Poor’s.

Cosmetic Surgery Cover

Standard travel insurance often won’t cover you for overseas cosmetic procedures. Medical Travel Shield Australia offers specialised cover designed specifically for cosmetic surgery patients travelling abroad.

Please note:

All medical travel and medical procedures in general- including cosmetic and dental- carry a certain amount of risk, known and unknown. Complications and accidents can and do occur. Your enrollment in a Medical Travel Shield Australia helps reduce the significant financial risks and burdens that may arise from elective treatment or travel-related activities.

Other programs, such as “flyback cover” or “surgical warranty/guarantee”, provide limited protection only while you are in the visited country. They all require that you return at your expense to the foreign country to take advantage of any benefits in the event of a medical complication (you may not be medically fit to travel).

It is important to realise that these plans will not provide you with assistance at home or respond in an urgent or emergency situation.

Phuket Cosmetic Surgery Clients

Clients travelling to Phuket with NipTuck Holidays for cosmetic surgery book their procedures through Phuket Plastic Surgery Institute (PPSI) — one of the very few hospitals in the world to offer a written surgical guarantee.

For eligible cosmetic surgery clients, this guarantee covers complications with complimentary revision surgery, hospital fees, accommodation, and return airfare back to Phuket. PPSI’s arbitration and clinical review process is also in place to resolve any disputes, and all surgeons are fully accredited specialists in their field.

The guarantee applies to procedures booked through official channels — directly or through authorised agents such as NipTuck Holidays.

Postop Promise: Dissatisfaction must be reported to PPSI within 12 months of the surgery date. Details are available on their website: PPSI Postop Promise and Condition

Travel Insurance

The PPSI surgical guarantee covers your medical procedure — but your journey needs protection too.

We recommend Cover-More for comprehensive medical travel insurance tailored to Australians travelling overseas for treatment.
