You go on vacations abroad,
travel insurance is a must

If you travel abroad,better buy travel insurance public health programs will not usually cover you outside your country, state or province.If you cross a border, you may not be covered by your health plan. You already have life insurance, all you need to add is health and accident insurance.

If you travel with your car

make sure you are covered abroad and also have a good limit of liability insurance. Because of exchange rates, a limit of let's say $500,000.00 may seam enough in your country but may be border line abroad.

If you travel with public transportation systems

like airlines, trains, ships, buses or others and that you bought your tickets from your travel agent, chances are that you have been offered travel insurance. This type of insurance usually covers health and accidents problems. If you have not been offered travel insurance , check with your regular insurance agent or broker and buy protection.

Being sick or having an accident abroad, besides spoiling your vacation can turn to nightmare if you are not adequately protected. Travel insurance is not expensive when young, more expensive if older and also more expensive if you are abroad longer.

These insurance programs do not usually cover prior health problems neither illnesses that you had.
Some insurance company will cover controlled prior illness. Declare any health problem that you may have and make sure that your insurance travel plan specifically covers these problems.

If you have to go abroad for work, your employer will normally have a complete health and travel plan that will cover those situations.
