Purchasing travel insurance can be complicated. Read your travel policy thoroughly since there can be limitations or disqualifying events to baffle most people – starting with the terminology. To be safe, ask your health insurer if you are covered when traveling overseas. Traditional Medicare doesn’t cover health problems outside the USA, but Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans do. A travel website, nomadicmatt.com (Matt Kepnes) recommends $100,000 in emergency medical coverage and at least $300,000 in coverage for medical evacuation. Please note if you have diabetes, a history of knee problems or another chronic condition, you’ll want to know if there is a pre-exisiting waiver. Tomorrow part 2.
