major medical insurance plans
So should you buy travel health insurance? Probably. Hopefully you will never need it, but you will have to make a personal decision about whether you are willing to take a chance to save a couple hundred dollars or less. Your destination and the nature of your trip should be considered when making a decision. For example, an authentic African safari or wilderness white water rafting trip has a higher probably of medical implications than a seniors’ train tour, but life isn’t predictable. Assess your risk, financial capability to handle possible emergencies and your comfort level, and work from there.

Travel or vacation insurance is available in many formats. You can buy a basic package that protects you from logistical issues such as being bumped from a flight and not making your cruise departure, to more complex packages that incorporate logistical issues, health care, and loss or theft. You can also purchase limited policies that guard against specific risks or events either on or before your trip. For example, you may want an ‘out’ to cancel your walking tour of England if you broke your leg three days before your departure. Or you may want to purchase health coverage so that if you break you leg while on the walking tour, you can receive proper medical attention without having to deal with the possibility your provider won’t pay for care administered in another country. This is a super way to protect against loss of deposits and pre-paid expenses.
