#Travel Health Insurance: Be prepared with insurance for travel health emergencies

You may not be ready to travel

Health care costs can be expensive when you are away from home. Each year thousands of travelers literally pay the price because their current insurance plan provides little or no coverage for medical expenses outside their network or their home country.

It's a real problem for everyone but especially for those traveling outside their home country. For example, outside the U.S. Medicare does not cover any medical expenses. And in the U.S. visitors who experience illness or injury sometimes find the cost of U.S. health care so high that their family's savings is depleted after paying for medical expenses.

With travel health insurance, an accident or illness during long-planned trip or while studying abroad does not have to be a financial burden.

The following plans include travel health insurance benefits:
