Round-The-World Travel Guide - Travel Insurance
5.2 Travel Insurance
International Health Insurance Plans seem to be divided into four types
(provided by Lucy Friedland):
1) Individual Health Insurance Plans Based in the U.S.
These are not designed for extended international travel. Basically, you
must keep a "permanent" U.S. address since your premium is based on the state you
live in, and not tip them off to how long you've actually been out of the
country. Some of them will only reimuburse for treatment of "life-threatening"
illnesses or injuries that occur overseas. some will cover "emergency" treatment
overseas", which may or may not be clearly defined in the policies.
2) "Trip Insurance" or "Short-term Travel Insurance"
It's often difficult to find a plan that will cover you for more than 180
days. Sometimes they are renewable, sometimes not. These plans work better as a
supplement to major medical health insurance plans. They are not really designed
as primary medical plans. If you're on a tight budget, this can be a cheap way to
get some coverage. They often have limits on medical benefits. Other benefits
include trip interruption/cancellation coverage (good if you've prepaid a lot of
money for air tickets), baggage loss coverage (good if you have expensive gear),
emergency evacuation (always good to have).
3) Long-term International Health Insurance without Coverage in Your Home
Country
Designed for trips, but do not offer much coverage (if any) once you've
returned to your home country. These aren't too bad, unless you contract some
awful, protracted illness abroad that requires a longer course of treatment once
you return (e.g., heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or HIV, which is a whole other
kettle of fish, often excluded from coverage). These plans sometimes have "home
country" clauses or riders that provide limited treatment upon return to your
home country (e.g. if you return home and then leave again). The amount of
coverage in your home country depends on how long you took the policy for. For
instance, if you've been gone six months, you may get two weeks of coverage upon
your return, during which time you must shop like mad for a policy in your own
country. Basically, these plans drop you like a hot potato once you return to the
U.S. These may be favored by expats who may want to fly into the U.S. for
surgery.
4) Long-term International Health Insurance with Coverage in Your Home
Country
I only found two plans that do this. One is offered by International Medical
Group (SIRIUS International, an English company) and the other is Premier One, a
plan offered by International Health Insurance, a Danish company. The first one,
IMG, keeps your policy going upon your return to your home country for the
duration of the policy. A PPO network can be used (or not) in the U.S., which
accepts co-pays. The second one, IHI, is renewable indefinately, but is not
affiliated with a PPO network. The advantage of IHI is that hospital
pre-certifications are not required. Both plans include air ambulance benefits.
"Travel health insurance is prohibitively expensive for long (more than a
month or so) trips. Keep coverage in your home country for catastrophic illness
and self-insure for any treatment you need while travelling; such treatment is
available locally and is usually cheap; if you need major treatment you will
probably want to come home)."
"My experience was the same, and I suggest you keep your existing
policy, or obtain a new one, but raise the deductible into the $2000 to $6000
range. The treatment in most Third World countries is very basic and inexpensive.
Buy evacuation insurance to get you back home, unless you can afford upwards of $20,000
up front."
"In Australia, I pay AUS $700 for one year's good travel insurance
(that's about $2 a day). Australian domestic insurance is not valid overseas
and you are running appreciable risks to travel without some
insurance."
"If you are evacuated to your home, you must still pay for your medical
care. It's important to make sure that your medical insurance will
pay for accidents and illness incurred outside its coverage area. Most do,
but lots of hassle could be avoided by: checking with them, getting the
phone/address/e-mail necessary to notify them, and try in advance to
get the paperwork they would require."
"There are different levels of coverage, and different rates based on
parts of the world covered, length of trip, participation in high risk
sports etc.. It is often best to buy coverage from whoever you get your
ticket with rather than separately - don't no why."
"Considerations when economising on insurance: (1) Be honest about
high-risk sports. You will pay more, but if you need it you will really
need it. (2) Look at what you are getting, especially in terms of if you
need to fly home through illness, is your partner's return covered too; is
your health covered under only restrictive conditions; what level of
insurance is there against stolen cash, belongings etc. - what is the
excess. Is replacement of documents (e.g. passport and visas) covered?
(3) How long will it take to process a claim. (4) Will you be able to
extend/alter/replace/renew this policy from abroad if the need arises.
(5) Read the fine print!"
" Read the fine print. I cannot believe the number of people I meet
that do not. Just take a short look at all the exclusions before you start
feeling comfortable."
"Trip cancellation/interruption insurance does not depend on the time
duration of the trip, only the cost of your tickets; it will cover the
cost of tickets home if you need to come home."
"If you are using an RTW ticket, it is useful to understand clearly if it
is good for an early return, and especially if there are frequent flights
available on which it can be used."
If you have health insurance with your current employer and you will not
be able to obtain a leave-of-absence, you usually have the option of
continuing the same coverage under the COBRA plan in the US. COBRA seems
to be a term for "continuing insurance", not a specific
insurance company. It is available for the first 18 months after you quit
working, and covers overseas claims, such as hospitalization, etc., as long
as you have the receipts. Normal, independent insurance policies are usually
more expensive then than COBRA. Medicare does not provide overseas coverage,
but many MediGap policies do. Start the paperwork far in advance, as there can be
many delays.
On a grim note: some of these insurances will coordinate and pay for the return
of your remains should you die overseas.

Medical Information for Americans Abroad
Medical Information for Americans Traveling Abroad
U.S. Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
If an American citizen becomes seriously ill or injured abroad, a U. S. consular officer can assist in
locating appropriate medical services and informing family or friends. If necessary, a consular
officer can also assist in the transfer of funds from the United States. However, payment of
hospital and other expenses is the responsibility of the traveler.
Before going abroad, learn what medical services your health insurance will cover overseas. If
your health insurance policy provides coverage outside the United States, REMEMBER to carry
both your insurance policy identity card as proof of such insurance and a claim form. Although
many health insurance companies will pay "customary and reasonable" hospital costs abroad, very
few will pay for your medical evacuation back to the United States. Medical evacuation can
easily cost $10,000 and up, depending on your location and medical condition.
THE SOCIAL SECURITY MEDICARE PROGRAM DOES NOT PROVIDE COVERAGE
FOR HOSPITAL OR MEDICAL COSTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.A.
Senior citizens may wish to contact the American Association of Retired Persons for information
about foreign medical care coverage with Medicare supplement plans.
To facilitate identification in case of an accident, complete the information page on the inside of
your passport providing the name, address and telephone number of someone to be contacted in
an emergency.
A traveler going abroad with any preexisting medical problems should carry a letter from the
attending physician, describing the medical condition and any prescription medications, including
the generic name of prescribed drugs. Any medications being carried overseas should be left in
their original containers and be clearly labeled. Travelers should check with the foreign embassy
of the country they are visiting to make sure any required medications are not considered to be
illegal narcotics.
A listing of addresses and telephone numbers of U.S. embassies and consulates
abroad is contained in Key Officers of Foreign Service Posts .
This publication may be obtained through the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Also available from the Government
Printing Office is Health
Information for International Travel by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC). This contains a global rundown of disease and immunization
advice and other health guidance, including risks in particular countries. For
additional health information, the CDC maintains the international travelers
hotline at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747), an automated faxback service at
1-888-CDC-FAXX (1-888-232-3299) and a home page on the Internet at http://www.cdc.gov .
For detailed information on physicians abroad, the authoritative reference is The Official ABMS Directory of
Board Certified Medical Specialists published for the American Board of Medical Specialists and its certifying
member boards. This publication should be available in your local library. U.S. embassies and
consulates abroad maintain lists of hospitals and physicians. Major credit card companies also can
provide the names of local doctors and hospitals abroad.
Some countries require foreign visitors to have inoculations or medical tests before entering.
Before traveling, check the latest entry requirements with the foreign embassy of the country to
be visited.
Several private organizations will provide medical information and insurance for overseas

Unfortunately things can go wrong on holiday. You could fall ill or have an accident; you could have money or luggage stolen; your visit might be cancelled or cut short through injury or illness; your family may need to fly out to be with you if there is a serious incident. Costs - particularly medical treatment costs - can easily run into thousands of pounds (see some typical medical and repatriation costs ). All these risks and more can be covered by taking out travel insurance. This area of the website includes tips about insurance and has been developed with the Association of British Insurers . Buying travel insurance - tips.
Market surveys show that many people don't take insurance. People believe that their credit card accident cover, home insurance, or private health cover is sufficient. However, it is unlikely that these will give adequate cover. 'It won't happen to me' - look at common incidents and their locations, dealt with by one of our partners. Shop around.
The cost of travel insurance varies widely, so shop around to find a good price and the right product , rather than opting to travel without cover. Bear in mind that a cheaper policy may have less cover. Use our Insurance & Assistance Partners Page to find links to insurers. If you make several trips each year, consider taking out annual multi-trip insurance to save time, money and effort. Know what your policy covers and check that the cover is adequate.
If in doubt ask your insurer. Your policy should cover you for the following:
The whole time that you are away, whether that is a day or a year.
Any activities and sports you might do. Some activities, such as jet skiing, are excluded from many policies. Many insurers will extend cover, if requested, otherwise shop around for a specialist policy.
The medical and health cover is very important. It should be for a minimum of £1 million for Europe and £2 million world-wide. It must include cover for emergency medical treatment, hospitalisation and repatriation.
Personal liability - for injury or damage to others and their property.
Cancellation - if you have to cancel or abandon your trip. Cancellation cover should start as soon as you book your trip.
24 hour emergency service and assistance if things go wrong the assistance company will help you to sort everything out.
Possessions cover, including money and documents to specified limits. Your policy may also cover: Personal accident - money paid on death or permanent disability.
Legal expenses - to help you pursue compensation for damages following personal injury. Check the conditions and exclusions.
If you are in any doubt, contact your insurer to find out exactly what cover you have.
Most policies will not cover drink-related incidents.
Most policies do not cover drug related incidents.
You must take reasonable care of your possessions or your policy will not cover you. Declare anything that you think might affect the cover.
Be honest - tell your insurer about current or past medical conditions. This should include the condition of those to be insured and others, such as close relatives, whose state of health may prevent you from travelling or may cause you to curtail your trip. If you don't declare you may invalidate your policy. If travelling to Europe - make sure you fill in Form E111 .
Book through an agent that's with ABTA or ATOL . When you travel.
Make sure you take your policy and the 24 hour emergency phone number with you.
Make sure you know what to do in the event of a problem.
Some insurance companies insist that you call their assistance company as soon as possible after a problem arises.
If anything does happen make sure you keep as much paperwork as possible - tickets, receipts, medical bills, police reports etc - to help prove that what you're claiming for actually happened. The following additional insurance tips have been written with the ABI.
