What is World Nomads Powered by Air Doctor? 

Medical support just got easier for European travellers; say hello to World Nomads Powered by Air Doctor - our on-the-go healthcare service. Whether soaking up the sun in Santorini or skiing in the Alps, our app connects travellers to a global network of trusted doctors, providing medical support in their preferred language, without the hefty costs. 

Benefits of Air Doctor to World Nomads policyholders 

Air Doctor is available to all World Nomads policyholders, whether you choose the Standard Plan or Explorer Plan.  

Here’s why European travellers love Air Doctor 

  • Global network: European travellers understand the importance of reliable, high-quality healthcare. With Air Doctor, you can access a global network of over 20,000 GPs in 75 countries, ensuring you never have to settle for less than the best care, no matter where your travels take you. 
  • Cashless & hassle-free: With Air Doctor, all your appointments are cashless, meaning travellers can skip the hassle of exchanging currency, navigating insurance claims, and facing unexpected medical bills while travelling abroad. Simply attend your appointment, get help, and get on with your travel itinerary. 
  • Speak your own language: No one wants to face language barriers when it comes to their health. Whether you're enjoying the beaches of Barcelona or exploring the historic streets of Dubrovnik, Air Doctor ensures you can communicate with medical professionals in your preferred language. 
  • 24/7 availability: Health concerns don’t stick to schedules or time zones. In fact, they often occur at the most inconvenient times. If you find yourself struggling with an upset stomach late in the evening, after indulging in street food in Mexico City, Air Doctor can help you connect with a doctor from the comfort of your hotel room. 
  • Choose your time and place: Whether in a clinic, your hotel, or over a video call, Air Doctor lets you pick when and where, so you can get quality healthcare without disrupting your adventure abroad.

When to Use Air Doctor 

European travellers love exploring new cultures, often spending hours wandering museums and historic sites. However, all that walking can lead to blisters. Which can be a pain in the…foot. If your feet are protesting after a long day exploring the vibrant streets of Lisbon, an Air Doctor professional can offer quick and easy advice to help relieve your discomfort, all without lifting a toe. 

Here are some other instances when Air Doctor could prove to be a great travelling companion: 

  • Non-urgent medical issues: Air Doctor is perfect for European travellers who need a quick consult for non-urgent medical emergencies. Think the type of scenarios where you might visit the GP when you’re feeling under the weather at home.

When not to use Air Doctor 

  • Urgent medical issues: Air Doctor isn’t for medical emergencies. If you’re experiencing a serious or life-threatening medical problem, contact our 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance team.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can Air Doctor prescribe medication?
    Your Air Doctor may be able to electronically prescribe your medication for pickup at a chemist local to your location abroad. Before your consultation, check with your GP to ensure they can issue a valid prescription for your location. Any medication the treating doctor writes you a prescription for will be incurred at your own cost.
  • Are the Air Doctor specialists verified?
    Every specialist you find on Air Doctor has been rigorously checked to ensure they're licensed and highly rated, plus, we regularly check in with our partners to ensure their standards stay top-notch.
  • How does Air Doctor help with language barriers abroad?
    Travelling in a country where English isn’t the first language? That’s hard. What’s worse, is seeking healthcare advice while navigating language barriers. With Air Doctor, you can tap into a network of over 20,000 GPs across major global hotspots—from the markets of Marrakech to the mountains of Switzerland.
  • Do I have to pay upfront?
    No, Air Doctor is a cashless service, so you won’t need to pay upfront for your appointment. World Nomads handles the cost, saving you the hassle of filing a claim.
  • What happens if I need serious medical attention?
    Air Doctor is for non-urgent medical issues only. If you experience a serious or urgent medical issue abroad, call the World Nomads Emergency Medical Assistance Team for immediate help. Your travel insurance policy may then respond, depending on your individual circumstances and the terms and conditions of your policy.
  • How do I make sure I’m accessing Air Doctor through my insurance?

    To check if you're using Air Doctor with the right insurance: 

    • Look for your insurance company's logo on the main screen of the app. 
    • Tap the top left menu and select “My Coverage.” 
    • Double-check that your coverage is still active by reviewing the policy dates. 

    If it’s all there, you're good to go!
