What is International
Travel Medical Insurance?
International Travel Medical Insurance
addresses the gaps in health insurance coverage for travelers outside
their home country. Coverage includes emergency medical expenses,
emergency medical evacuation, repatriation, return of dependent children,
bedside lodging, accidental death, cost of return flight, and more.
Why do you need it?
While domestic private and govertment sponsored health insurance programs
may offer fine coverage at home, few are designed for international
travelers or expatriates. Even programs that cover international travel
often provide limited benefits that do not normally cover medically
supervised emergency evacuation, emergency reunion, or repatriation.
Home health care providers and insurers are simply not equipped to
deal with complications caused by different languages, currency conversion,
inexperienced international claims administration, and the time zone
differences.
