So how does the !00% system work?
When you travel abroad, you may be in a country who's standards are different from those in the UK. Clinics in other countries (even EU countries) will want to know that they are going to get paid for treating you BEFORE they treat you. With Dogtag you can prove you're insured. You simply wear your stainless steel Dogtag around your neck; let's face it, you won't be going surfing with your insurance documents tucked into your cozzie, and the web-based verification system quickly proves to a foreign medic that you are insured. If he's still not convinced then our contact details are on your tag and your own Emergency web page. Time is crucial, and take it from us, foreign clinics WILL want to know you are covered before they start any treatment: it happened to us, it's why we invented DOGTAG.

Your stainless steel Dogtag is laser engraved with your Name, your Personal Tag number and the Dogtag emergency phone number and web address. By accessing your Medical information Page a medic or other privileged person can view a read-only page with details about the currency of your insurance cover. They can also view any relevant medical information you choose to make available. See below for more information.

By using your membership log-in and password, you can access your Medical Information file and enter details that you think may be useful to a medic in the event of an emergency. We sought the advice of the British Association of Paramedics in drawing up the table of information that medics would most likely wasn't to see in the case of an emergency. When you log in, you get full read/write access to your file. A medic, using your Dogtag will be able to see a read-only version of the information you choose to display. This information might included such things as your blood type, any medication you're on or allergies. You can also display your next of kin. Of course, your Dogtag is needed to access this information so wear it at all times when you're travelling.

As sportsmen (skiers, divers, climbers) the founders of Dogtag were well aware that with ordinary travel insurance, it's just about impossible for you to find out what you're actually insured to do. It's all buried in the small print - if it's there at all. If you're an active person on holiday it's more than likely you'll get the chance to try something you've never tried before so you need to be able to check that you're insured to do it. All you have to do is go on line and check your sport cover level (Sport, Sport+ or Extreme) and check it against the Sports list to see if you're covered. If you're not covered for the sport you want to try don't worry, just give us a call and we can upgrade your cover.

Your Dogtag policy automatically covers you as standard for a huge list of sports. If you check the Sports List you'll see that the list is truly extensive. You'll find this on the Sports page which you can reach from the top navigation on this site.The standard Sport level of Dogtag Dive covers a host of other sports as standard. Of course, some sports are riskier than others but we do still cover them. Check the list and depending on which category your other preferred sport or activity falls into, you can upgrade the policy to suit. For instance, if you're a fanatical helicopter skier or a martial arts enthusiast as well as a diver, you might need to upgrade to Sport+ or Extreme.

This is another Dogtag benefit that you won't see in run-of-the-mill travel insurance. In fact, we think this list of services is pretty neat peace-of-mind enhancement. With Dogtag you're eligible for services like:

• 24/7 Emergency Assistance.
• Transfer of Emergency Funds.
• Travel Destination Information - info on visas, vaccinations etc.
• Urgent Message Relay to friends & family in the event of a mishap.
• Help replacing lost travel docs & credit cards.
• Home Care - check this out: If your home suffers damage (such as a burst pipe or a gas leak) we can arrange for a tradesman from a list of approved people to effect emergency repairs. The cost of that is covered by your home insurer but it's good know that there's somebody there to sort things out while your in the Alps or in a boat on the Red Sea!

As you can see above, along with your Dogtag, you get Dogtag Medical Information system, you get proof of insurance, you get an emergency medical file. In fact, there's a long list of extras with DOGTAG that other insurers just don't bother to provide:

• Stainless Steel Dogtag
• Proof of Insurance
• Vital Information Page
• Dogtag Travel Pack

Whether your single, a couple or a family, with Dogtag you'll want to keep your travel insurance kit together so we provide a travel pack to help keep your travel insurance and other documents in travel-ready condition. Your Dogtag Travel travel pack contains your Dogtags (of course) and your travel insurance certificate. Also, Dogtag is one of the very few travel insurers that actually provide you with a booklet detailing your policy. We don't ask you to download and print a pdf.
