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.
To learn more, see our Travel Medical Plans article.

Traveling during COVID is more complex than ever before. This plan gave me the peace of mind I needed to travel abroad at a very reasonable cost.

The policy seems to provide good gap coverage. But since there was no claim, I could not determine if any resolution would essentially be painless.

While we didn't need to use the plan's benefits on our recent overseas trip it gave us peace of mind knowing we had coverage in the event we needed it. I also found the selection process easy and straight forward and reasonably priced.

I travel a lot and have always purchased a trip insurance whether traveling in US or international The most important reason is to get a medical/dental coverages. On all the plans I bought in the past many years, the dental was always part of the medical coverage. During my recent trip to Europe a month ago, I lost 2 teeth on my upper dentures. When I called IMG, I found out that the plan I bought, which was recommended by "Insure my Trip", had no dental coverage. For this reason I will not buy a trip insurance from IMG anymore. Also, this would have been the first time, after so many years of purchasing a trip insurance, that I would be submitting a claim. I'm totally disappointed.

Travel Guard MedEvac Plan
When traveling abroad, it is essential to have insurance for medical expenses or medical evacuation, which are not covered by Medicare and most health insurance. On a trip to Turkey, a woman in our group had appendicitis. She did not have travel insurance. She had only Medicare and a secondary health insurance plan, neither of which covered any expenses outside the U.S. She could not afford to pay for an air ambulance to have surgery back in the U.S. So she had surgery in Istanbul. Her adult daughter stayed with her, and paid out of pocket hotel room and restaurant meals while her mother was in the hospital. They had to pay up front for her medical care and hospitalization. Presumably they had to pay a high airfare home when she was well enough to travel. I always buy travel insurance. My credit card (co-branded with an airline's frequent flyer program) covers trip cancellation and interruption when I charge flights, hotels, cruises, etc. to that card (even if it's a different airline). However, that credit card does not cover medical treatments, hospitalization, or evacuation to the U.S. in case of illness or accident. This AIG Travel Guard MedEvac Plan is very reasonably priced and covers that gap including expenses for a traveling companion. Thankfully my companion and I have not needed medical treatment while traveling, but having this coverage gives us peace of mind.

I thought I was covered for necessary expenses incurred for luggage that was delayed for 4 and and a half days of a five day trip to France. When I called about filing a claim, I was informed that the policy only covered lost luggage, which was not clearly stated in the policy.
I have used GeoBlue several times in the past, but this was the first occasion where I had a need to file a claim.

We did not need to use the coverage on our plan so I can not rate “how satisfied I was with my planâ€.

One never knows about these plans until one has a claim. We had no issues, but we felt good knowing that there was coverage behind us.

"The Patriot International plan does indeed have dental coverage. The coverage is for the treatment of unexpected pain to natural sound teeth. As the insured indicated in her review, she lost 2 teeth from her upper dentures. This would not be covered."
