Know Before You Go!

If reading your insurance policy cover to cover doesn’t sound like your idea of a good time, you’re not alone. If you’ve purchased travel insurance recently, your mind is probably on other, more fun things—what to pack, the sites you'll see, the foods you'll get to eat...

But as insurance experts, we simply can’t stress enough how important it is to read your policy so you understand how the insurance plan works as well as its limitations. To get you started, here are the top four details you must know about your travel insurance before you go:
    1. Pre-certification is a must. Emergency medical evacuations, hospitalizations and surgeries must be pre-certified with the insurance company to avoid any penalties and reduction in reimbursed claims. The number to call for pre-certifications is located on the back of your ID card.
    2. Treatment must begin on your trip. If an incident occurs while you are away from your home country, treatment must begin in the foreign country for you to be eligible to submit claims once back in the US. If you wait until you return home to seek treatment, the travel insurance company has no way of knowing where exactly the injury or illness began and they often won’t pay benefits.
