Why travelers purchase Travel Medical/International Medical InsuranceTravel Medical Insurance reimburses you for emergency medical expenses incurred when you are traveling or living in a foreign country. Maximum coverage levels can be substantial enough (up to $8 million) to cover major medical expenses such as emergency surgery and extended hospital stays. Plans often require pre-certification by the insurer prior to hospital admission abroad. When hospitalization is necessary, many insurers provide a guarantee of hospital admission, and some insurers provide direct payments to hospitals. When hospitalization is not necessary, most insurers require a claim form to be submitted for reimbursement of covered expenses for basic treatment by a physician and outpatient medical services. Plans usually include coverage for emergency medical evacuation, reunion, repatriation of remains, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), and various other 24/7 travel assistance services. |

Travel Medical/International Medical Insurance FAQs
What is travel medical insurance and why do I need it?
Travel medical insurance provides health insurance coverage for travelers outside their home country. This coverage includes emergency medical expenses, emergency medical evacuation, repatriation, return of dependent children, accidental death, cost of return flight, and more. While the regular domestic insurance or government-sponsored health insurance programs may offer comprehensive coverage in your home country, few are designed for international travelers or expatriates.
