What Should You Do Before Your Trip?

Getting sick while traveling in a foreign country is not just inconvenient—it can also be a bit frightening. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to make such a situation less stressful.

• Check your insurance coverage to make sure you are still covered while abroad
• 如果您的保单在您旅行期间不包括您，您可以考虑购买能包括您的短期保单。
• Carry your health insurance identification card and a claim form while traveling. If you have a preexisting medical condition, carry a letter from your primary healthcare provider that details your condition and any prescription medications you are currently taking.
• Medicare does not cover medical care outside of the United States, so individuals over the age of 65 may wish to contact AARP to find information regarding a Medicare supplement plan that covers medical care in foreign countries.
