What is World Nomads Powered by Air Doctor? 

Say hello to your hassle-free healthcare companion: World Nomads Powered by Air Doctor. Designed for the Irish globetrotter, our service connects you with a global network of qualified doctors, allowing you to access medical care in your preferred language—whether from the comfort of your hotel room or in person, if that’s your preference. 

Benefits of Air Doctor to World Nomads policyholders 

Air Doctor is available to all World Nomads policyholders—both Standard Plan and Explorer Plans, and Annual Multi-Trip and Single Trip Travel Insurance.  

Here’s why Irish travellers love Air Doctor 

  • Global network: Irish folk value top-notch 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: Forget about fumbling with foreign currency, making insurance claims, gap payments, or even worse…surprise medical bills. With Air Doctor, all your visits are cashless. Simply attend your appointment, get help, and get on with seeing the sights of Spain. Or perhaps Portugal is more your style? Either way, keep your Euros for coffee and leave the rest to us. 
  • Speak your own language: No one wants to experience lost-in-translation moments regarding their health. Whether in the bustling markets of Marrakech or the mountains of Switzerland, you’ll always have access to English-speaking GPs with Air Doctor. 
  • 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 nursing a midnight migraine after an epic day exploring Dubai (for example) Air Doctor can make it happen. 
  • 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 

It’s no secret that Irish travellers love chasing the sun (and enjoying the craic, obviously). But it’s also a well-known fact that for many, that pale complexion can be a recipe for holiday mishaps. If your sun-kissed holiday glow is glowing a little too brightly, an Air Doctor professional could be the answer to quick and easy advice for soothing the sunburn, right from the comfort of your pool lounge.

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 Irish 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.
  • 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!
