Travel Insurance Reviews Travel Medical Plans
Most regular health insurance plans provide only partial or no coverage while you are traveling in another country. We offer several types of Travel Medical plans providing a range of benefits, such as medical coverage for pre-existing conditions, multi-trip and renewable protection, emergency medical evacuation, and coverage for long-term travel.

We needed pregnancy coverage and many others did not cover this. It was easy to purchase.

Didn't use it but I contacted a customer care rep to ask about conditions and exclusions. She was prepared and courteous.

The website was easy to navigate and compare plans. The coverage was reasonably priced. Luckily we didn't have to use it, so I cannot comment about submitting a claim.

The variety of options to tailor my plan to my family's needs was much appreciated. I received a summary of benefits as well as an extensive explanation so that I was comfortable with what I was buying (or not). I will use Trawick again and would recommend it without reservation. The price was very reasonable as I did quite a bit of research and comparison before purchasing my plan from Trawick.

I didn't have a claim, so the company was not really tested for what matters most. But it did provide good coverage at a reasonable price.

As seniors, we were concerned of possible issues popping up that could be serious and felt that the plan we purchased for our two weeks in Japan gave us a wonderful peace of mind. Even if a health problem should have hospitalized one of us, our plan made getting the patient back home a none concern. We travel a fair amount outside of the country and will always purchase the same plan we have discovered with Travel Gap.

I bought this insurance for my grandfather who went on a trip to Japan. Our primary concern is unexpected medical issue that needs to be seen by doctors, and given his age many possible issues could be "pre-existing condition" but this plan says to cover it up to $2,500 (I think.) I give three stars because of what they say they offer, but I can't give anything higher than that because my grandfather didn't have to visit doctors while on trip. I don't know how good they actually would have been about reimbursing medical and other claims. (It's always the trickiest part with any insurance!)

I did not have the occasion to use the plan. But having it gave me comfort.

Price is reasonable for the coverage. I didn't have to file a claim. Obviously, my review could have been different if I had have to file one.

You may be referring to coverage for the “Complication of Pregnancy†which this plan defines as "...a condition requiring Hospital confinement, whose diagnosis is distinct from pregnancy but adversely affected or caused by pregnancy, such as: a) acute nephritis or nephrosis; b) cardiac decompensation; c) missed abortion; and d) similar medical and surgical conditions of comparable severity.
Complications of Pregnancy will also include: a) non-elective cesarean section; b) termination of ectopic pregnancy; and c) spontaneous termination of pregnancy, occurring during a period of gestation in which a viable birth is not possible. However, the term Complication of Pregnancy will not include: a) false labor, occasional spotting, or morning sickness; b) Doctor prescribed rest; c) hyperemesis gravidarum; d) pre-eclampsia; or any similar condition associated with the management of a difficult pregnancy not consisting of a nosologically distinct Complication of Pregnancy."
In the future, should you need a policy that includes Complications of Pregnancy, you may wish to call customer care at 800-487-4722 since plans may vary on the definition.
