In the last few years the friend has had two separate events that would have qualified for cover under the policy, but it might well be that too much time has passed to make a claim(s). So, dear well travelled internet people, do any of you have experience in this situation ? Are there time limits ? I'm imagining that the insurance underwriters would baulk at any retrospective claims.

Every plan I have ever seen requires you to call them as soon as you are ill. (So they can make deals directly with the service providers at commercial rates.)
