I would have thought ongoing expenses were covered, but then I hadn't really thought about it.
I suppose it makes sense that they aren't since the purpose of travel insurance is to take care of your needs in a situation where medicare/normal pvt health insurance wouldn't (In another country), once you are back in the country these normal insurances cover you no matter where the accident etc. occured, If travel insurance still covered you you would have two insurances covering the one thing!.
Thankyou for this post though as it you hadn't made me think about it I would have continued assuming I was covered for ongoing expenses (which does make a difference to someone who doesn't have private health insurance).
