Necessarily. Any insurance company offers different packages, from deductible to full board. If something happens, even the initial appointment can fly into 800 euros

NECESSARILY. Don't repeat my mistakes. No one there will even put a bandage on you for free.

Basic insurance costs a penny, about 2-2.5 euros per week with coverage of 15-30k. It's not even funny to discuss its expediency.

Insurance prices have gone up a lot since last year. If earlier for 10 days it cost 350-400 rubles for me and my granddaughter, this year it is almost 3 times more expensive))) you should always choose taking into account the accident and preferably without a franchise)

You need to make insurance, because anything can happen, but it costs a penny compared to the cost of the flight.

You decide which way to go. You will be allowed into Turkey without insurance, but are you ready to solve possible problems at your own expense? The price tag there is not at all sour for medicine.
Personally, I always make extended travel insurance myself. I find out in advance which companies work in the country where I’m going, what their rating and principle of working with foreigners are and who works with them from Russian insurers. 1-2 thousand spent on insurance will not ruin you, but it can greatly help in a difficult situation.

Please write which companies work - no cash payment.
Since in Turkey, many hospitals require cash.
They are then returned.
But .... not all tourists have extra money, especially when it comes to expensive treatment.
I hope the moderators do not delete.
I would very much like to know.
So that it was - not just a "piece of paper" for complacency.
Thank you.

We stayed in July 2014. On the first day of arrival, my wife had a filling, the tooth immediately made itself felt. Sadness, especially with such an abundance of food. We decided to try health insurance. Cool thing! They called the indicated phone number - they answered immediately, clear short questions and that's it: wait - in half an hour a car will come. At the stated time, a car comes from Antalya and takes it to Kemer "round-trip" for free! The limit for dentistry is $120. Our expenses are: the deductible is $30 and the treatment itself is $40. I asked the registrar how much it would really cost if without insurance. I counted about 300 dollars, including a taxi, a doctor's appointment - 90 dollars. So we wanted to take the bus on our own, I have a good guideline. But, having driven to the hospital, I realized that I would not have found her so quickly.

Necessarily!!! None of us is insured against anything. In 1998, we ourselves faced a situation in which only insurance helped us to end up in a very good hospital and avoid spending a lot of money on treatment.

I always take out insurance when I travel on my own, and not only medical, but including loss of luggage, flight delays, etc. depending on what is relevant to me at that moment, it is important that there is no franchise (many have already written to you about this here), when we take a package tour for a longer period or we don’t feel well before departure (i.e. the possibility of going to the doctor increases ) even if you have the usual insurance from the tour operator, I am not too lazy to issue a NORMAL POLICY SATISFACTING ME, as they say, they don’t save on matches. For 25 years, in no country in the world, no one asked me for this policy, I myself had to use the policy only once - God saves the safe. Draw your own conclusions.

helena_fortuna is not only in Turkey for serious cases, incl. injuries in need of urgent hospitalization may not undergo surgery until the client confirms solvency, and insurance covers the costs later, here just carefully study the reviews on insurance. Just Turkey in this matter is more civil than the countries of Southeast Asia.

How lovely!
And how many tourists do you know who are ready to pay - 10 thousand - for an operation in Turkey?
In Germany, they did not take money for the operation.
We contacted the insurance company and that's it.
So there are insurance companies in Turkey that you can really count on or not?

My ear hurt in Turkey, the temperature rose, I endured it, but then I see - it doesn’t go away, it only gets worse, the rest will be ruined. I called for insurance - they took me to a Russian-speaking doctor, they did the procedures, they gave drops with me, they took me back to the hotel - everything was fast and free. While I was in the hospital, under insurance they also brought 1 Russian-speaking young lady who got drunk with free alcohol and then she became ill in the sun, she was given droppers, they did a cardiogram - everything was also free.

kolyan_cat - so I'm asking - in order to understand: from whom to buy insurance?
What insurance company did you have?
Out of 8 years of independent trips - to Turkey - we only bought insurance twice.
I'm positive about insurance
But, I would like to understand - that it is "real".
Therefore, I am looking for .... a company - which I wish - so that they have this money forever and increase their income! But .... life is life ....

It is strange that a drunk person was pumped out under insurance ... According to all insurance rules, if alcohol or drug intoxication, then the insurance does not apply.

The person had a sunstroke and she was reclining on a wheelchair with a motionless and wordless carcass, therefore it is impossible to directly establish signs of alcohol intoxication, and then the doctor probably doesn’t care, since the insurance pays ... I think she got drunk and fell asleep on the beach, where and got hit. All negotiations with the doctor were conducted by her girlfriend, from whom there was a scent of free alcohol, from which I made the assumption that it was unlikely that one drank, but the other became ill, most likely both drank))
And in general, in Turkey, adults have an excess of alcohol in the blood for 80% of active leisure time, but they are being treated))) Otherwise, insurance specifically for Turkey would lose all meaning. Take any patient, do an analysis - and that's it. If they had brought me with an ear, they took blood for alcohol, they could also say "goodbye", but they didn’t take it))) It’s here - I broke my leg on New Year’s Eve, the insurance company requires that they take an alcohol test in the hospital - and that's it, they've arrived. So we drink here once a month in total))

No need for sarcasm. Anything can happen to anyone.
I just don't want to describe what happened to our tour. group.
Just believe me - saving on travel insurance is the pinnacle of redneck and stupidity.

iNicole is just not your topic.
Everything is here - for whom medical insurance is a hot topic.
Well ... you do not need - do not buy medical insurance. Nobody will force you.
It is not obligatory - as you understand, from the comment above.
I, too, have not bought for a long time, but I think that this is not entirely correct. Therefore, I want to find out for myself - from which insurance company it is better to buy it .....
Still haven't received a response.......

I always had insurance, but there were no insured events.
Therefore, it was not possible to check the integrity of the insurance (VUSO)
And the last time when "that case" came, we presumptuously did not take care of her.
But I can recommend a tour. insurance in Privatbank. A friend's child fell ill on vacation. The insurance company promptly (we had a night then) paid a large bill for treatment.

Slav1 Thank you.
I'll see who Privat works with.
And then, just like that, you don’t want to ride with a “paper”.

Slav1... "I just don't want to describe what happened with our tour band" - that's it! You simply did not focus on the author's question ... the question of an independent trip! I suspect the question is from a woman, though... it's supposed to be a romantic, I guess... none of your rafting, diving, long-distance bus trips, etc. (although I myself had all this) ... maybe I'm wrong ... and I don’t have sarcasm at all, I’m really amazed at what I wrote above ... sorry, but for 10 years (2 times a year for a period for 3-4 weeks) I had no insured events ... well, a first aid kit (with IODINE, PEROXIDE, as they wrote here for $ 100) with all the medicines, just in case, I always carried with me ... although I treated it with only natives... maybe I was lucky... God saves the safe!
