Travel Insurance Options 60+

There are many travel insurance options. A high percentage of Americans who are over 65 have chosen Medicare A & B and probably C. On top of this they may also have a Medicare Supplement policy.

If you are a senior citizen and plan to travel outside the States, you need travel insurance. Your current insurance will not give you adequate coverage. The reality is that no Medicare plan will provide medical coverage outside the USA or medical evacuation coverage.

The older we get the more difficult it is to get international medical insurance.

But there is good news! There are several travel insurance options that have no age limitations whatsoever.

But which supplemental medical insurance options are best for you and your loved ones? Before you speak with your insurance broker, find out what your current health insurance covers. From there you can determine what travel insurance you will need.

These are questions to ask:

1. Is there an age limit on the plan? Some plans have no age limit while others insist that you cannot be over 74 or 84 years of age.

2.Is there a reduction in benefits due to age? Some plans carry limited coverage for those 80 years of age or older. Check to see how much coverage they will give you.

3.How long does coverage last? One insurance option covers only a month while another insures you for six months.

4.Does it cover pre-existing health conditions? There is one plan that will cover all pre-existing medical conditions but it requires travelers to have US underwritten health plan or Medicare A, B and C.

5.What types of coverage do you want? For example, do you want a plan that will insure you in cases of coma, felonious assault, political evacuation, or a sports injury? A lot of this depends on the nature of your trip and upon what countries you will travel through.

6.How much Medical Evacuation is covered? One plan covers you for up to $250,000 while another $300,000.

7.Is the policy renewable? You may want to take multiple trips during the next several years. So you will want to know whether or not the plan is renewable. If it is, this will save you time and energy looking for another plan the next time you travel.

The best thing to do is to speak with an insurance broker. Travel insurance options are inexpensive and in the long run worth every dollar! Below is a link to these insurance policies.
