Name some reliable companies that will sell "travel" (health) insurance to Americans going abroad?

Question

I am referring to medical insurance which will cover illnesses (heart attack, stroke, pneumonia, etc.) while travelling overseas. Many health insurance policies (from employers) do not cover doctors and hospitals outside the US.

Answer 1

HTH insurance... that's what my school provided when I studied abroad in France

Answer 2

Try this one - http://healthplans.bebto.com - I personally have their health insurance.

As I know they provide such a service abroad for Europe.

They have health coverage but I have used the $/9/day "Renter's Collision Insurance", which is collision insurance for rental cars......it's much less expensive than what the car rental companies offer

"AIG Travel Guard's Car Rental Collison Insurance includes up to $35,000 in comprehensive coverage minus a $250 deductible. Sold per vehicle, not per person, this valuable coverage includes cost of repairs for collision or comprehensive damage to a rental car, up to the limit of coverage, for which the car rental contract holds you responsible. Not covered under the policy are obligations you assume under any agreement or acting in violation of your car rental agreement. The car must be rented from a recognized licensed auto rental company.

Answer 9

Talk to your travel agent. Use a member of the American Travel Society. If you belong to the AAA talk to them. Talk to your household insurance broker. One thing read the policy very carefully and ask questions to be certain it covers exactly what you want Have a nice trip
