Jannette1 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi, I have recently found out by accident that my travel insurance only covers me for a stay of 31 days at a time after visiting Perth for three months whoops!! i have managed to find a company who covers long stay, but, they are saying i need to register with Medicare?? Has anyone else had to do this and if so how? Any advice please. Thank you Jannette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlewis Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I registered once and got a temporary card sent out in the post. Then last year I went down again to register but this time I was told that I didn't need to. Because we have reciprocal cover it would be fine. I ended up in hospital this time and when I went to A&E I just showed my passport and that was me. All the care I needed and well looked after. I hope this helps.

ali Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 You get reciprocal care - which covers emergency treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
