Travel Medical and Expat Health Insurance that includes COVID-19 coverage.
The risk of contracting COVID 19 continues to be high in many places around the world and it is important for people living overseas or traveling overseas to make sure they have coronavirus insurance coverage. Some people have been surprised to learn that their international or travel health insurance policy does not include pandemic insurance coverage. Understanding your health insurance policy’s coverage is vital because COVID 19 treatment can be expensive. According to a recent report by FAIR Health, a 6-day inpatient stay for someone without insurance to get treatment of coronavirus symptoms averages $73,300. Even outpatient & ER treatment of COVID 19 symptoms can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars. Consequently, if you are an expatriate or traveling overseas, you’ll want to be sure that your health insurance policy includes coronavirus insurance coverage.
We’ve put together a list of plans that could cover you in the event you contract the coronavirus. Below you’ll find plans for expatriates (those who live overseas for more than 12 months), short term travelers (those visiting overseas), and group travelers (those visiting overseas as a group).
We will continually work to update this page as we get more information from providers, however the best way to make sure you and your family or group are covered is to get a quote from one of our expert agents for your unique travel situation.
