I developed lower back pain and sciatica after a very uncomfortable flight. Within 48 hours I had difficulty walking at all. My partner explained this to the local chemist who provided anti-inflammatory medication that did not help. After using it for 48 hours I phoned Saga health insurance. The first person I spoke to seemed helpful making sure I understood I had to approach a state medical facility here in Spain. He emailed me a list of suitable facilities. All of them turned out to be private health facilities. I phoned again and spoke to a very helpful lady who seemed much better informed. But it became very clear that I was expected to use my EHIC card and get clearance from Saga for any treatment that was going to cost money. A number of hoops had to be jumped through including giving permission to get my medical records from my Dr back in the UK just in case I was going to claim for a condition I had not told Saga about. Clearly Saga were looking for any possible loophole to avoid payment. When you are in pain and unable to move more than a few steps, how was I to get to a state hospital? I was told to get a Drs report for anything that might not be covered by the EHIC card. In short I felt that the onus was on me to do everything. What did I expect? I expected a very expensive insurance to smooth the way and sort things out for me when I needed help. In the end I had to pay for a private Dr to visit me at home and give me support. Saga medical insurance had also been quick to tell me that the first amount of £70 had to be paid by me. Would they have paid the rest? Too many reports in the press have shown unsatisfactory performance by travel health insurance providers. I am sorry to conclude that I do not trust Saga Travel Health Insurance to help me when I need help. The forensic attention to paperwork could come later. My needs should have come first, that’s what I paid for, rather than me being expected to arrange everything myself. Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

As I am 80 years old I booked insurance with them at great cost. I trusted their name and what a big mistake this was. Unfortunately I had a fall and was concerened about concussion as i vomited a few days later. They told me they would book a dcotor to come after waiting nearly 2hours this changed to a video consultation and then the doctor did not even join the video call. After half an hour on hold I rang Saga to be told just go to A&E. The doctor service is apparently nothing to do with them so nothing they can do!!! I left and went to A&E and after almost an hour the doctor joined the caht whivch my friend ansered he told them it was unacceptable and was told what are you going to do? I would give a zero score if it was possible. Disgusting service Unhelpful call answerers and they merely delayed any help I needed by hours. Do not waste your money on this Reviewed on: 24th February 2024
