International Medical
Insurance
International Medical Insurance,
sometimes called expatriate insurance, is very important
for people who plan to be away from their native country
for an extended period of time.
Besides overcoming problems with
traditional health insurance coverage from US managed care
plans, such as; geographic limits and the closed provider
networks, international medical insurance
addresses the other special needs of travelers who must
deal with foreign health care systems like:
- Language translation
- Foreign currency exchange
- Transportation to Western treatment
centers
- and a variety of cultural issues.
Deciding which international medical
plan to buy depends on you and your family's personal
needs, finances, and travel itinerary. For instance, If
you're heading for Paris rather than the farthest reaches
of Tibet, you can probably do with less than $150,000 in
emergency-evacuation coverage. If you're taking your
family overseas for two years or more, you might want to
consider wellness coverage, especially if you have
children.
Pricing for this type of coverage is
varied and hinges on your desired benefits, among other
factors. Some plans might charge more depending on the
area of the world you'll be traveling to.
Experts caution against shopping on
price alone, because if a product is much less expensive
than others, it probably has major exclusions.
