Travel & Evacuation Insurance

The BAD NEWS: Did you know? Most medical insurance plans aren't accepted when you travel internationally. Many foreign hospitals require patients to demonstrate ability to pay before treatment is started. Unfortunately this can result in delayed treatment and high medical bills for individuals who thought they were covered.

The GOOD NEWS: Passport Health has found the best deals on travel insurance. You can even print your insurance ID card immediately! No watching the mail and hoping your card arrives before you depart. From medical coverage and emergency evacuation to trip cancelation and lost baggage we've got you covered. The 24 hour assistance service with a toll free phone number provides immediate assistance if you forget your medication or need care at a local medical facility. The assistance center will make arrangements for your care and for payment of medical expenses. This service is essential while traveling abroad.

Study Abroad School

If you or your child are planning to study abroad for a semester or a year, there is a considerable amount of planning that you will have to do. In addition to taking care of academic paperwork - such as ensuring that your credits can be transferred from one institution to the next and that you'll be able to register for the classes that you want to take - you should also gather health information about the country. In addition to informing yourself about the country where you will be studying, you should collect as much health information as possible about any other countries you may visit while you are abroad.

Depending on your health insurance plan, you may be able to purchase medication or see a doctor overseas. Many health insurance plans have a fairly restrictive network of international providers, however. If possible, you should receive necessary medical treatments prior to your international travel.
