The Pros and Cons of Travel Health Insurance

Article Category: Travel

Author Name: Jeff Desrochers

Travel health insurance when you are travelling is a much debated subject matter. Some people think it is necessary, some people think it is a waste of money. This article will discuss the basics as well as point out a few of the arguments for and against the same.

Important Characteristics of Travel Health Insurance

First and foremost you need to understand that health insurance on travel applies to domestic trips and international trips without distinction. In fact, in some cases it is even more expensive to take out travel insurance on the former rather than the latter. The real factor as to cost is really the risks involved and the person taking out the insurance. The distance travelled is also a factor but is not the end all and be all when determining cost.

Second, a person or persons can insure a particular trip, multi trips, or a specific duration, regardless of number and place of destination. One form is not necessarily better than the other. Rather, each form is meant to provide a particular service to specific types of travelers.

Third, some insurers require the applicant to answer questionnaires while others do not. Most people misconstrue this reality and believe that not filing up a questionnaire is better. This is not always the case, especially if you are one who needs to modify your coverage or one who needs a higher coverage limit. In any case the questionnaire will not take you 10 minutes to complete. But it is important to note that you should answer it to the best of your knowledge.

Con: Ten (10) to Twenty (20) Percent of Your Total Travel Cost

Of course in some cases this can be much cheaper, especially if there is a promotional rate or it is not the peak season, or if the particular place you are travelling to and the activity you are to embark on is not at all risky. More to the point 10% to 20% can be substantial and you may end up not using it at all.

Pro: Ten (10) to Twenty (20) Percent is a fraction of Your Actual Medical Bills

What if you actually need medical treatment while you are abroad? Bear in mind you are in unfamiliar territory and you may not have the resources to pay for the medical bills at the soonest possible time. Some hospitals will not admit a patient without payment. This is a sad reality, and may even be illegal, but it does happen. Not to mention the fact that like most insurance, travel health insurance allows you to pay only a fraction of the actual bill.

Take for example the situation with snowbirds. Incidentally snowbird is a term for a Canadian citizen or resident who moves to another country, usually the United States, during the winter months. Did you know that the cost of health care in the US cost more than 10x the cost in Canada. This means a medical procedure that cost $20 CAD can be worth $200 CAD in the US.
