So you are heading to the abroad
destination for a cause, right? Everything is confirmed, tickets, visas,
accommodations, tour schedules, but are you sure you haven’t missed out
anything? Your travel advisor isn't expected to forecast the probability of a
medical emergency there, but that should not be an excuse. No one but you, need
to make sure that arrangements are duly made to tackle that; and what else than
a beneficial oversees medical insurance to
look after it properly? Okay, let’s assume your travel agent has finally
realized the need of having one. But that’s going to be costlier than the
policies available in the market. What’s the point of paying that extra? Your
hard earned money needs to be invested on travelling purposes solely.
v So, your pluses in such an insurance plan
Getting yourself covered with a proper
oversees medical insurance plan offers
a mental peace to tide you throughout the tour. Such a policy entitles you or
the appointed nominee to get paid for a specific limit expense bourn for
accidental injury or illness treatment abroad. That limit is, however, subject
to your choice after deductibles and coinsurance formalities, if any, are duly
satisfied. Depending on the policy you chose, the bodily disorders or injuries
are taken into account as continual or separate disablement accordingly. Besides,
a standard policy should allow you to get financial coverage in the situations like
Ø Medical
evacuation on chronic situations
Ø Mortal
return
Ø Urgent
medical reunion
Ø Tour
interruption due to illness
Ø Resurgence
of existing illness
Ø Accidental
death
v Protection durability: Again, it’s
subject to the policy you have opted for. It could range from a few days to an
entire year. Simultaneously, you have options to buy them at a daily, weekly,
monthly or yearly frequency or combination of them all in accordance with the
plan cost.
v Keep them intimated: Oversees medical
insurance policy issuing companies deserve to know your tour activities.
Suppose you have a plan for bungee jumping or scuba diving, then it’s a part of
dangerous sports. In such a case, you need to intimate them in advance about
such activities. Besides the insurance card, you are to carry all possible
items related with aboard treatment while touring to settle your claim.
