Buy Travel Health Insurance

Will your health insurance
travel with you?

  • Did you know that if you are traveling overseas, your health insurance may not cover you? Medicare does not provide coverage for medical treatment outside the United States.
  • Some policies will cover personal travel but not business travel, while others cover you only if you stay overseas for a short period of time (e.g., one to six months).
  • Some policies cover only emergency medical care, while others will reimburse you or the medical provider for only a percentage of the total cost of treatment.

If you find that your health insurance policy won't cover you adequately while traveling, seriously consider purchasing a short-term supplemental policy. These affordable policies offer accident & sickness coverage and provide coverage for the cost of medical evacuation back to the United States, which is something most domestic health insurance policies will not cover.
