Should you purchase International Health Insurance for your vacation during Covid? Here’s what to consider.

Slowly but surely, as more and more Americans become vaccinated, individuals are venturing out of their homes and are finally comfortable enough to take a vacation. Our dreams of relaxing at a resort in the Caribbean can be made into a reality in the not-too-distant future. And once you and your family make that decision to travel again, the alarms go off in your head about the health and safety measures of Covid, and what your insurance will cover. Should you purchase an international health plan for you and your family while vacationing overseas during covid?

Even before the pandemic, it’s always important to make sure you and your family are covered, and after the past year we’ve all endured, it feels like a necessity! While we agree, it’s entirely up to you, but it’s important to consider the health and financial risks that an international family travel insurance plan can help you avoid:

• You’ll want to avoid loss of nonrefundable prepayments or cancellation penalties if you or another member in your family vacation travels encounter an unexpected sickness or accident. This type of risk is something that would be covered if you and your family have international health insurance or trip-cancellation insurance (TCI).
• You’ll also want to avoid medical expenses for treatment or emergency situations if you or your family fall ill. International health insurance plans provide coverage immediately and cover you if you’re out of the country and fall ill, or contract the coronavirus.

Purchasing an international health insurance plan is a perfect idea if you’re traveling overseas for any reason, and for any length of time. Here at E&M Global, we provide the comfort and assurance of knowing you and your loved ones are covered around the world. We can find you the right plan that best suits your needs.
