Travel Medical for Your International Trips
How Will You Manage a Medical Emergency in Another Country?
There is no more satisfying image than that of a white-sand beach in a tropical paradise, warm breeze blowing, sipping an umbrella drink. The feeling of contentment is overwhelming. It will be a great week away! And then, everything changes in an instant.
You suddenly experience a medical emergency!
- Where will they take you for care?
- If you are incapacitated, who will help direct your care and manage your situation?
- Who will contact my family back in the U.S.?
- What about the costs for care? How will you pay?
- How do you get back home? Who will make the arrangements?
There are so many questions and unknowns. Fortunately, there is a Travel Medical plan to coordinate your care and provide you peace of mind.
Travel Medical is your vacation first aid kit! Be sure to pack it for every international trip.

Personal Medical Plan Probably Doesn't Provide International Coverage
Most Americans assume they will be covered by their existing medical insurance plan when traveling internationally, but that may not be the case. While U.S. plans may offer adequate domestic coverage, they are not designed for international travel. And should they provide some level of international coverage, it will be to negotiate payment. There is no one with the insurance company that will be acting as your advocate.
