NEED MEDICAL HELP WHILE TRAVELING ABROAD?

You're responsible for paying the total amount due for any overseas medical care you require during your international trip. Travel insurance policies reimburse you for several unexpected occurrences, like missing luggage or canceled flights, but the most important part of your travel coverage should be the health plan policy. From the cost of transportation to the hospital, emergency room charges, diagnostic testing, international transport nurse care, treatments and medication, overseas emergencies quickly become a costly investment you might not be prepared to make.

Some of the most common causes of overseas injuries during travel are related to falls, motor accidents or severe health concerns. Other examples include:

• Unexpected illnesses, like food poisoning or infectious disease.
• Significant health occurrences, like heart attacks or trouble breathing.
• Injuries or accidents in remote locations requiring international air rescue.
• Accident-related injuries, including vehicular incidents.

International medical evacuation and repatriation insurance is a special coverage type that will reimburse you the cost of traveling if you have to evacuate your travel destination unexpectedly due to natural occurrences or other large-scale events beyond your control.

Some coverage plans available through your insurance company might offer supplemental care for special trips, like adventurous outings that pose extra threats to your safety.
