Why You Need International Travel Medical Insurance

Traveling internationally exposes you to healthcare systems, costs, and risks that differ from home.
Here’s why travel medical insurance can be essential for global travel:

  • Limited Coverage from Domestic Insurance: Most domestic health plans provide little or no international medical coverage.
  • Medical Evacuation Costs: Emergency transport can exceed $100,000 without coverage.
  • Entry Requirements: Many countries, including those in the Schengen Area, require proof of medical insurance for visa approval.
  • Common Travel Risks: Illness, injury, and travel delays can happen anytime, anywhere.
  • Peace of Mind While Abroad: Receive assistance coordinating care, language translation, and hospital admissions.

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 provide limited 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

Is travel medical insurance necessary if I already have domestic health insurance? 

It is absolutely worth considering because many domestic health insurance options provide limited or no coverage outside your home country. Travel medical insurance can help with eligible unexpected medical expenses abroad and may include travel-specific benefits such as emergency medical evacuation, repatriation of remains, travel assistance, and help finding quality care while traveling. 

Can travel medical insurance be purchased without having a primary health insurance policy? 

Yes, travelers can purchase travel medical insurance even if they do not have a primary health insurance policy. Benefits vary, so travelers should review the plan documents carefully, especially if they have pre-existing conditions or need coverage for specific destinations, activities, or visa requirements.

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.
