However, Moore knows how close it was. He has no doubt that, were it not for his excellent insurance cover - provided online by World Nomads - he would have been shown the door by the classy Bangkok hospital. And he wonders what might have happened if he had been further in the wops than Luang Prabang when things turned really nasty.

Having enough money on his credit card to book the flight to Bangkok, which will be reimbursed by the insurance company, and a mate to help articulate his position might have made the difference. Mum and dad would certainly have helped, but they were a last resort and didnt hear of their sons troubles until after the operation because he didnt want to alarm them.

2008-10-04 Insure your most valuable asset-your own future and that of your family . au

Dont forget: reassess your insurance regularly. Just as you would increase your home insurance over time to cover higher building costs, changes in your life - more children or a new mortgage - will affect the level of cover you need.

Insurance cover in super may only provide life or TPD cover, not trauma or income protection. If it offers income protection, the maximum benefit is normally paid for only two years, not much use if you are only 40 and your disability prevents you from working for an extended period of time. Cover is likely to be needed until you are 65.
