Health insurance for Russia
 
Hi
At the moment, the British foreign office advises against all travel to Russia. This means that generic, worldwide, health insurance (I usually use Big Cat) will not cover me as I live in the UK. Does anyone know a specialist company that covers Russia at this moment in time - I was thinking maybe a Russian company.
Thanks for any info.

I have found cover using this company in Russia:
Alfastrakhovanie
Any one had any experience with this company
Thanks again

Alfastrakhovanie or Rosgosstrakh are big insurance companies over there and I'm told if you ask they have to cover you by law. As you say, western insurance wouldn't work - if only because they have no way of paying while SWIFT is disconnected. Stop in the first big town and look for a broker.

Note, same goes for road insurance (you may or may not be able to buy at the border).

Many thanks Tomkat.
I can get cover from Alfastrakhovanie before I go - I need it for a visa. Road insurance I will try to get at the border, as you say.
