In its simpliest form, Travel Medical Insurance picks up where your domestic coverage stops. Although your domestic health plan may provide coverage overseas, it doesn't offer you the type of comprehensive service that a reputable Travel Medical policy would.
Domestic plans lack any sort of comprehensive worldwide service.
In many cases, you require non-medical related services. For example, help in locating police stations, determining exchange rates, aide in the transfer of emergency funds, tasks that are often very simple when home are extremely difficult when traveling abroad. Automatically included within a reputable Travel Medical program is a valuable benefit call Assistance Service.
