What is Visitors Insurance?

Congratulations on your decision to travel to another country. Just remember that overseas visits can introduce you to risks that you’re not used to encountering in your daily life at home. If you get sick or hurt, lose your passport or luggage, or even get stranded because of a canceled flight, you won’t have the same resources to deal with these urgent situations when you travel overseas as you probably did at home. With a good visitors insurance policy, you won’t have to worry. You can access 24/7 concierge service on the phone no matter where you happen to suffer from some bad fortune.

How Does Visitors Insurance Protect You in Foreign Countries?

You can buy visitors health insurance to protect you against illnesses or injuries that you may suffer while you’re on your trip. These plans will not just help pay medical bills but will also help you find quality healthcare nearby.

Typically, these plans won’t cover:

  • Most treatments associated with pre-existing conditions: Some plans will help pay for urgent and unexpected events associated with a pre-existing condition on a limited basis.
  • Any routine or elective medical treatments: Your trip health insurance won’t cover elective surgery, routine checkups, or any anticipated medical treatments.

You can choose between fixed or comprehensive medical policies. Typically, you’ll pay less for a fixed or limited policy; however, the policies will only pay a specified amount for each kind of treatment and may require you to use a network of providers. Comprehensive policies will pay more of the bill and are usually more flexible about which doctors, clinics, and hospitals that you can use.

You can also decide to buy a plan with even broader travel insurance features, like protection against theft, misplaced items, and even canceled or interrupted trips. Policies may also help pay for transportation back home in case of covered emergencies. You’ll get access to a 24/7 phone number that you can call for guidance if you do need to ask for help or make a policy claim.
