how do i claim back the money i spent on medication whilst abroad

[wickedtart19]

i recently suffered a second heart attack whilst on holilday in spain and had to have surgery, upon coming out i had to obtain tablets i was able to claim back 40% of the money outlaid due to having my e111, however in england i have a prepaid presciption card due to the amount of tablets i take. can i claim back all of this money outlaid. thanks

cant you claim through your travel insurance

Probably can't claim via your holiday insurance- you did get some, didn't you? You mentioned this was your 2nd heart attack, I would assume that this would impact heavily if you tried to make a claim via them.

To be blunt, i'm in agreement with Craft. If I were you, i'd just be bloody grateful im alive and well on the way to recovery. Enjoy every day and don't let a trivial factor of money, and it is trivial compared, stop you doing this.

For those that think it is trivial, pfffttt, £70 is a lot of money to me, and yes i did take out the correct medical holilday insurance and declare everything, yet they failed to get me home.

You try having a heart attack in a foreign country where u cant speak the language and see how u feel. then to be told they wont get u home, its a joke

I can understand that wicked, however, surely you can understand that faced with what could have been a terrible terrible end, you recover, are home, and on the road to recovery and it all cost you was £70.00? Yes that amount can be substantial, especially if you haven't alot to begin with, but when you consider what you could have lost.....

As previously said, I really don't think there's alot you can do. Sure speak to your insurance company again, but please don't let this get in the way of enjoying what you have been given....a second (or in your case, 3rd) chance of life. Grab it by the balls and bloody enjoy it!
