TRAVEL INSURANCE TIPS

Read the following insurance tips if you are traveling abroad and are thinking of buying medical travel insurance for yourself and/or your family:

Check with your current medical insurer if your existing policy will cover you when you are abroad.
If your regular insurance plan does not provide out of country coverage, you may want to consider purchasing a travel insurance policy.
Will the policy cover hospitalizations as well as out-patient services?
What are the conditions and limitations, if any?
Can it be used for emergencies and non-emergencies alike? If not, what are the clauses and fine prints?
Will the deductibles / co-payments stay the same or be different for overseas treatment / care?
Check with your insurer if they will pay directly to the hospital for any medical services received.
Does your plan include "air ambulance" coverage?
When purchasing air tickets using a credit card, ask that credit card company if they will provide you free travel insurance. Also check the coverage details - conditions of validity (emergencies, non-emergencies, etc.), amount covered and so on.
Last but not the least, keep handy your insurance record (insurance card), passport, a major credit card, emergency contact information as well as the information of your family doctor.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments.
