Protect Yourself Abroad with Travel Medical Insurance
![]() |
If you're preparing for international travel, it's a wise idea to consider travel medical insurance. The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that at least half of American travelers overseas will have some kind of health problem while on their travels. Not only that, but it is highly unlikely that your standard health insurance or HMO will protect you if you become ill or injured during international travel. The cost of international emergency medical travel and care can be staggering, which is why you may want to seriously consider obtaining coverage before embarking on your trip.
While there are many different international coverage providers that offer lots of different policies for travelers, some of the best are offered by International Medical Group. Take a look at some of the highlights of their various plans. Even if you end up choosing a different insurance provider, perhaps you can at least get a better idea regarding what kind of coverage you need.
Global Medical Insurance: This type of insurance would cover hospitalization, prescription medication, surgery, emergency transport via ambulance, outpatient medical services, pre-existing condition care, child wellness, dental insurance and so much more. This is one of the most inclusive plans out there and ideal for citizens of the world.
Patriot Insurance Plans: There are a variety of Patriot plans that provide coverage for different types of travelers. The Patriot International Plan gives coverage for Americans who are traveling for as little as five days for as long as two years. Then there's Patriot America, which provides coverage to non-United States citizens who are traveling out of their native country for five days to two years. For students, there is the Patriot Student T.R.I.P. plan. which gives protection for students under the age of 26. Are you an adrenaline junkie traveling overseas? Then check out the Patriot Extreme plan, made just for extreme sports enthusiasts!
The above descriptions represent just a few of the travel medical insurance options out there. There are plans for every kind of traveler. Not only that, there are so many different providers that you're sure to find the perfect one to meet your needs. To ensure you get the best medical coverage at the best price, do some comparison shopping before making a final decision.
