To the Editor: As the medical director of Customer Care Medical Assistance, which manages the travel insurance policies of most travelling Australians, I wish to reassure readers that none of the experiences chronicled by Grace and Penny1 related to our company. I have previously described the activities of Customer Care in the Journal.2
I would welcome any enquiries from colleagues about the way our company functions.
I note that there was no declaration by Grace and Penny of their competing interests.
