How Can I Purchase Travel Insurance?
Next » « Previous6/8
You can purchase travel insurance issued or underwritten by an insurance company through your travel agent, airlines or other transportation companies, online or directly from an insurer. It is recommended that you do not purchase travel insurance from a tour operator or cruise line. If the company goes out of business, you may not be covered.
A travel agent who caters to a gay clientele is likely to be an excellent source of information about travel health insurance because of extensive experience dealing with people who are HIV positive.
Two sites which provide a comprehensive variety of choices are:
- www.InsureMyTrip.com ,Tel.: 800.487.4722
- www.SquareMouth.com , Tel: 800.240 0369
Some insurers that have been known to sell comprehensive travel health insurance with no pre-existing condition exclusion (at least for people who purchase the insurance within a short period of time after booking their trip) are:
- Access America www.accessamerica.com Tel.: 800.284.8300
- AIG www.travelguard.com Tel.: 800.826.1300
- CSA www.csatravelprotection.com Tel.: 800.873.9855
- Travel Insured www.travelinsured.com Tel.: 800.243.3174
NOTE:
- Some credit cards offer limited health benefits while you travel. Read plan materials to find out what is covered. Many plans restrict coverage to medical evacuation and medical advice telephone services.
- Travel insurance sold by airlines, cruise companies or travel aggreggator sites usually offer only one plan without choice. Even if you recognize the name of the insurer, it may have trimmed-down benefits to make the plan more affordable.
