Will my travel insurance cover dengue treatment in Sri Lanka?

Most comprehensive travel medical insurance plans cover emergency diagnostics plus inpatient care for dengue, as long as the policy was arranged before travelling or contracted prior to the trip.

Dengue is acute and rather unpredictable, so it usually falls within the usual emergency medical protection. Still, you must read your policy’s Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) before you go. Make sure the cover includes enough protection for being hospitalised and for medical evacuation. If you end up admitted to a hospital, contact your insurer’s emergency assistance line right away, so that the invoicing is managed properly.
