You’ve been planning this trip for months. A family vacation to Ireland, a honeymoon in the Bahamas, a ski trip to British Columbia. Make sure your plans include protection for you and your investment.
 Does your health insurance cover you when traveling outside the United States?
If it does cover you and your family when you travel internationally, what does it cover? Does it provide the coverage you want or need? Don’t forget about trip cancellation protection.
Many U.S. travelers bound for foreign destinations may not be prepared for the expenses of a medical emergency because their domestic health insurance plan doesn’t provide international coverage. Even if it does, you should check to see if your medical coverage:
- Provides for emergency evacuations. Will it pay to fly you back to the United States for medically-necessary treatment?
- Will it pay for an emergency reunion? Parents traveling to be with injured children, children traveling to stricken parents, or a spouse traveling to meet a husband or wife traveling abroad on a business trip?
- Does it have a claims staff that can speak to your foreign health care provider in his or her language and handle all the details of your care, transportation, and recovery?
Travel medical insurance can do all of these things and help fill the gaps in your current health insurance coverage.
