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
travelers. Most charge a fee for this service. The following is provided FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and in no way constitutes an endorsement, expressed

Law Enforcement Line Up For Click It or Ticket Project
Law enforcement officers from this area will be joining their
counterparts from across the state and across the United States in a
major campaign to get people to wear their seat belts. Called the "Click
It or Ticket" Project, enforcement efforts begin May 20.
Over 100 law enforcement agencies are involved statewide and at least 400
extra law enforcement officers will be patrolling for seat belt law
violators under this new project. $500,000 in federal funding is being
passed along to local law enforcement agencies to pay for officer
overtime for the project.
In addition, $500,000 in air time is being purchased for a statewide
media blitz to advertise the project.
Radio commercials began airing May 6, which feature the heads of law
enforcement agencies throughout the state. The Sheriffs, Police Chiefs
and local Washington State Patrol Captains are on the radio airwaves
reminding people that they can either buckle, or pay up, "Click it or
ticket."
"You pay one way or the other. You pay with an $86 seat belt
citation, or you pay with your life in an automobile collision. A ticket
is the smaller price to pay," said John Moffat, Washington Traffic
Safety Commission Director.
Moffat says he is hopeful that the Click it or Ticket Project will
increase seat belt use rates, along with a new primary enforcement seat
belt law, which takes effect June 13. He believes that together these
changes will save at least 30 lives, prevent 900 serious injuries and
spare the state $51 million in unnecessary hospital costs.
"Everyone benefits when people buckle up," Moffat said.
Most people wear their seat belts in Washington, 82%, but the use
rates have remained the same over the last six years. Seat belt use has
been required under Washington law since 1986.
Research shows that a seat belt increases a person's chance of
surviving a collision by up to 70%. This means that a person wearing a
seat belt has a 70% better chance of surviving a collision than someone
who is not buckled up.
About 630 people die each year on Washington's roads.
Some people think that they don't need to wear a seat belt because
they have an air bag, but just the opposite is true. An airbag can kill
an unbuckled person. A teenage driver in Yakima was killed in a fender
bender collision when her air bag deployed. She was not buckled up and
the air bag slammed her head against her vehicle door.
Medical costs from collisions amount to about $276 million each year
in Washington. Your tax dollars pay 30% of that price tag. An unbelted
driver's medical costs average $11,000 more than those of a seat belted
driver.
A seat belt ticket costs $86 and a driver can be ticketed for every
unbuckled passenger in his car who is under age 16. Passengers age 16
and older can be given their own seat belt ticket, even if they are not
driving.
