Editorial Policy
Our goal
At Medical Travel Compared, we’ve always been committed to you: our customers. From 2013, we’ve been striving to help you to find the right cover for you easily and at the right price, so that you can feel prepared and confident. Our Articles and Blog Posts are a continuation of that commitment.
We are committed to sourcing the best content on a wide variety of conditions, issues and factors – and providing it to you in an easily accessible and understood manner. In doing so, we hope that we can support you even after you’ve sourced your insurance and help to inspire the same level of confidence that any of our quotes would. After all, we firmly believe that a pre-existing condition should not mean the end of your travels – and if any of our work can help you continue those travels despite that, then our entire mission has been a success.
Our team
The vast majority of our content is created internally, by the Medical Travel Compared team. In doing so, we help to create content that is distinctly ours – and that we can be proud to share with you, as well as confident that it will provide the information you need. You can rest assured that we’ll always task the best-suited member of our team to any article, to ensure we can provide expert-level guidance and assistance.
On occasion, we’ll invite figures from outside our team to write articles for us. Before we do so, we’ll work hard to verify that their level of knowledge is sufficient for us to feel confident in presenting their article. If we’re happy, we encourage them to write about what they know best – but we retain all editorial control over the content. As such, you can rest assured that any article – from the Medical Travel Compared Team, or an external expert – will be on the same, high quality we always aim for.
