Before going abroad, learn what
medical services your health insurance will cover overseas. If your
health insurance policy provides coverage outside the United States,
REMEMBER to carry both your insurance policy identity card as proof of
such insurance and a claim form. Although many health insurance
companies will pay "customary and reasonable" hospital costs abroad,
very few will pay for your medical evacuation back to the United
States. Medical evacuation can easily cost $10,000 and up, depending
on your location and medical condition.
