For the first year until you decide what to do it seems ok. As i said my brother and his family have it and have used it for dental emergency and calling out doctors and they paid up ok. Ring American Express and explain and they will tell you the best policy for a year. Bupa are thousands per year even if you are a member here, at least by taking this policy you are covered until you decide what to do. They will email you the quote and you can see exactly what it covers.
WOW!!! Thank you so much that is amazing - I always have holiday insurance when I go abroad & last year got a year long insurance (with SAGA) but it only covers for being abroad up to 3 months at a time, I had asked if they could do one for a year & they said they couldn't.

That is going to save me so much money in the first year & we'll be coming back to UK for at least one holiday during that time anyway.
I had contacted BUPA first, before the american companies & was a bit shocked that there quote was over £9000 for me & 14 year old, even with good health, no smoking, no alcohol & not overweight - seemed far too much.
