King Price emergency assist

If you need emergency medical care, we'll pay to have you transferred to the nearest hospital as quickly as humanly possible.

If the treating doctors or medical assistance directors recommend that you be transferred to a different hospital, then we'll cover that too.

We'll transport you to a hospital closer to home, if the current hospital doesn't have the facilities to do so, within 24 hours of the accident occurring. This can only be done if your medical condition permits it, or if your treating doctor advises that longer hospitalisation is required.

You, or a person representing you, must call our emergency assist line as soon as possible and within 24 hours of any event that requires you getting medical assistance. This is very important, even if the urgency of the situation requires instant assistance from another medical service provider.

• When the emergency isn't medically justified and can adequately be treated at, or near, the place where the injury occurred.
• If you're able to travel as a seated passenger in any form of transport, without needing a medical escort.
• If you need medical care as a result of you intentionally trying to commit suicide, and/or if you participated in any criminal activity.
