Is International Travel Medical Insurance Required for Travel Abroad?

Not necessarily. Some countries require foreign visitors to have international travel medical insurance that meets specific requirements. Others may only require proof of valid insurance for the duration of a trip.

Some visas require insurance as well. If you need a Schengen visa to visit Europe’s Schengen Area, you’ll need Schengen visa insurance. If you’re traveling to the U.S. on a J-1 visa, you’ll need J-1 visa insurance. (Hint: Atlas Travel meets both Schengen and J-1 visa requirements.)

Some types of trips may require insurance too. Think organized tours, cruises, study abroad trips, and mission trips. International travel medical insurance from WorldTrips could fit the insurance coverage necessary for your trip. 

Will My Current Health Plan Cover Me Overseas?

There’s a good chance your regular health plan that covers you on a day-to-day basis may not provide adequate coverage once you leave your home country. Even if it does include some overseas benefits, it may not offer medical evacuation coverage or supplemental travel coverage (like reimbursement for a long delay or the airline losing your checked luggage).

You may also wonder if your credit card offers any coverage—and if it does, whether that coverage is enough. While your travel-related credit card might include some compensation for airport and luggage mishaps, it’s unlikely that it includes coverage for an unexpected injury or illness.

Ask yourself: Could I afford to pay for an overnight hospital stay or treatment of a broken ankle while sightseeing abroad? If not, consider international travel medical insurance like Atlas Travel. You might be surprised how easily it fits into your budget.

How Much Does International Travel Medical Insurance Cost?

Travelers are often surprised by the budget-friendly cost of international travel medical insurance. Our Atlas Travel plan starts at less than $1 a day.

Here are the factors that influence the cost of a plan with WorldTrips:

  • Age – As your age group increases, so will your plan cost
  • Destination – Trips that include the U.S. are more expensive to cover due to healthcare costs
  • Trip Length – Longer trips are more expensive to cover
  • Overall Maximum Limit – As your overall maximum limit increases, so will your plan cost
  • Deductible – As your deductible increases, your plan cost will decrease
  • Optional Upgrades – Coverage add-ons will increase your plan price

How International Travel Medical Insurance Works in Action

  • You’re hospitalized with a serious bout of food poisoning.

Your Atlas Travel international medical insurance policy could help you find a suitable hospital. Your plan would cover eligible medical expenses, which could include your ambulance ride, hospital stay, diagnostic testing, physician charges, and more.WorldTrips could also arrange translation assistance and provide medical monitoring to keep your family updated on your condition.

  • You’re hiking through a remote area when you fall and become seriously injured.

The nearest medical facility does not have the equipment to provide the medically necessary treatment. Fortunately, your Atlas Travel plan’s Emergency Medical Evacuation benefit pays the $30,000 it costs to transport you by helicopter to the nearest hospital.

  • You’ve just touched down in your destination when you receive the devastating news that your sister-in-law has passed away. You decide to return home immediately.

Your Atlas Travel policy’s Trip Interruption benefit could pay for your plane ticket back to your home country so you can be with your family.

  • Your flight is delayed until the next morning due to snowstorms.

You grab a warm meal and book a hotel room so you don’t have to stay at the airport overnight. Your Travel Delay benefit could reimburse you up to $100 for meals and accommodations resulting from a covered delay of 12+ hours.

  • You’re exploring the city alone when you’re suddenly kidnapped for a small ransom.
Your spouse contacts the police and WorldTrips. Your Atlas Travel policy’s
Crisis Response benefit could pay for your $10,000 ransom and for an experienced, multilingual crisis response team that safely negotiates your release.

How Do I Submit a Claim?

You must complete, sign, and submit a Claimant's Statement and Authorization form along with proof of claim (itemized bills, payment receipts, medical records, police reports, etc.) for every incident. (Click here to download the form in Spanish).

Filing a Claim on Behalf of Someone Else? If you are filing this claim on behalf of another person, you MUST fill out the section of the Claimant's Statement and Authorization form labeled "Supplement D - Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information" – also known as a HIPAA form. This section must be signed by the policyholder in order for us to speak with you regarding any of the policyholder's Protected Health Information (PHI). Without this signed form, we may only disclose to you the status of the claim.

You can complete and submit the Claimant's Statement and Authorization form along with supporting documents in one of the following ways:

Via DocuSign within Member Portal (Most Efficient Approach)

1. Go to Member Portal (formerly Client Zone / Student Zone).
2. Log in to your account. If this is your first time using Member Portal, please click here to view instructions for registering your new account.

If you already have a Client Zone / Student Zone account, you do not need to register for a Member Portal account. Simply log in to Member Portal using your Client Zone / Student Zone login details.

3. Click "Claims and Appeals" in the main navigation menu.
4. Click “Submit New Claim Via DocuSign” button under the “Claimant’s Statement and Authorization Form” subheader in the “File a Claim” section and follow the instructions.

For more extensive step-by-step instructions, including screenshots, please see our Claims Guide.

Don’t Have Access to the Claims and Appeals Page? If you noted that you are not the insured or the insured’s legal guardian, you will see the Protected Health Information Authorization page in place of the Claims and Appeals page. Enter the insured’s email address and click “Send Request.” Once the insured has completed and submitted our HIPAA form, you will gain access to the Claims and Appeals page and have the ability to submit a claim within 3-5 days.

By Mail

1. Download the Claimant's Statement and Authorization form. (Click here to download the form in Spanish.)
2. Print, complete, and sign the form.

Important Note for Students
For eligibility purposes, you must submit the following along with a Claimant's Statement and Authorization form:

Can I Submit a Claim on Behalf of Someone Else?

Yes, you may submit a claim on behalf of someone else, but you must fill out the section of the Claimant's Statement and Authorization form labeled "Supplement D - Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information" - also known as the HIPAA form. We must have a completed copy of this form signed by the policyholder if you wish to speak with us regarding any of the policyholder's Protected Health Information (PHI). Without this signed form, we may only disclose to you the status of the claim. If you have already submitted a claim and you did not complete this section OR if WorldTrips has requested that you submit the Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (HIPPA), you do not need to fill out another claim form.

How Do I Submit the Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (HIPPA Form) If I Did Not Complete This Section of the Claim Form?

If you have already submitted a claim on behalf of someone else and did not complete this section OR if WorldTrips has requested that you submit the Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (HIPAA), you do not need to fill out another claim form. You can submit the HIPAA form separately in one of the following ways:

Electronically via Member Portal

  1. Go to Member Portal.
  2. Log in to your account. If this is your first time using Member Portal, please click here to view instructions for registering your new account.
