A Minnesota couple is facing a hefty medical bill after one of them fell ill with the flu on a week-long Caribbean cruise. Mike Cameron and his girlfriend Tamra Masterman won a free cruise to the Caribbean but incurred a staggering $47,000 medical bill for treatment.
The couple booked travel insurance through Norwegian Cruise Line that covered up to $20,000 in medical expenses. However, claims have been denied due to complexities with their health insurance coverage abroad. The cruise line maintains its pricing is fair and reasonable, but it’s now investigating whether the charges are typical for flu treatment on board.
Cameron recovered from the flu after three days, but he still owes $21,000 after the medical bill was charged to two of his credit cards. The couple is seeking assistance as they struggle to navigate the complex claims process and understand why their insurance policy won’t cover the full amount.
