Bali is Indonesia’s all-time favorite beach destination. Aside from their own unique culture, tourists flock here because of its stunning volcanic mountains, famous rice paddies, long stretches of beaches, and coral reefs. Last 2019, there were 6.3 million tourists direct arrivals in Bali alone.
The best time to visit Bali is during the summer months of June, July, and August. These are the times when the weather is driest and most days are sunny. Many Westerners love this island because it is an ideal warm-weather getaway.
However, beautiful places like Bali are not always a paradise. There are some factors that should be on your radar and not overlooked.
Accidents can still happen even on vacations
Accidents of any kind can ruin someone’s perfectly planned vacation in a snap. It becomes much more difficult when you are in a foreign country because the place is unfamiliar and sometimes, the language could be the barrier.
To reduce the stress and inconvenience when an accident occurs during your out-of-the-country holiday, take these necessary steps:
Our client’s serious accident while staying in Bali, Indonesia
What is supposed to be a perfect summer holiday in Bali turned out to be a nightmare for our client — it was last June 13, 2020, when his most unexpected experience happened.
He got a sudden accident which seriously harmed his brain, sternum, ribs, and liver. A major injury like this is considered life-threatening and should be treated as soon as possible. As part of the emergency procedure, he was admitted to Local Private Hospital and then confined in the High Dependence Unit. The hospital contacted our 24×7 emergency assistance hotline and our medical advisor made the necessary arrangements to process the admission and surgery.
Healthcare plans come in handy when you least expect it
Aside from stress and trauma, a critical medical situation like this can badly affect a person’s financial stability without a healthcare plan. Thankfully, our client has been an Easy Care+ policyholder since November 2018. All of the medical expenses incurred in this accident were 100% paid(1), therefore, there were no out-of-pocket and additional expenses made.
His Easy Care Plan includes an Accident Cover which took care of all the medical expenses(1) for his hospital admission and surgery procedure. It includes the doctor’s fees, hospital stays, use of operating and recovery rooms, medical treatment, internal prosthetic devices, lodging, and final expenses. For people who enjoy activity hobbies, jobs, or any team sport, getting an international healthcare plan should be an essential thing to consider.
