Does she have it here ? If so, look at the policy, and if it says that emergency treatment is covered, then it will be covered there. You'll pay any bill with a credit card, whatever, and then submit the bills to her insurance company. It will reimburse you.

Agree check to see if her current coverage is valid outside the US (many private insurance is).

Also be aware that you will need a notarized letter giving you approval to take her out of the country - and to oversee her medical care if necessary.

And the UK border agents will want to see such a letter.
