If you have health insurance back home, check the policy carefully to see what it covers or doesn’t cover when traveling overseas. Some policies exclude accidents that occur during certain adventure activities. You may want to look into a supplemental traveler’s insurance policy that covers doctor and hospital bills while you’re away.
Special policies that provide emergency medical evacuations can save you huge medical expenses in the event of an accident or other emergency. One reliable company is MedjetAssist (National, ☎ 800-527-7478, www.MedjetAssist.com), whose annual memberships of $205 for individuals or $325 for families include flights to the hospital of your choice anywhere in the world. One-, two- and three-week plans are also available.
