travel medical insurance
If you’re spending thousands of dollars on your dream vacation, it makes sense to spend a few extra dollars on insurance to protect you, especially if you’re traveling outside of your home country. What would happen to you if you injured yourself on that trek through the rain forest in Belize? What would happen if you feel ill in Prague? Do you think the local doctors are covered under your regular insurance? I don’t think Blue Cross Blue Shield has that far of a reach!
I’ve seen people get sick on trips and end up paying BIG bucks for medical care they received. There was the guy on our cruise who had heart issues while snorkling, and the family member who fell ill in Panama. Getting sick in another country equals big bills for you - can you imagine the bills if your insurance company only covered 50% of your claim…or nothing at all?
Travel medical insurance can cost you as little as $1 a day, and the cost is well worth the coverage you’ll get. Maybe nothing will happen on your trip…but peace of mind is worth the money.

Myself or my husband having been sick in 3 third world countries (and without insurance) we had no problem getting care- for under $20. My first time was in China, I had a bad cold and no insurance. The hotel had me speak with a doctor and I was sent off with antibiotics- total cost $12. In India, I had another infection. Antibiotics and over the phone diagnosis of $2. In Bali, my husband had a fever- pills and a trip to the hospital $20.
My favorite though was Germany where I lived as an exchange student. The towns doctor came to our house and diagnosed me in my room.
Most countries don’t require insurance the way we do, so you will be well-served by the local medicine.
