Holiday Medical Insurance
You are on a holiday. You and your wife and two kids are looking to spend some quality time on Costa Del Sol, a famous vacation spot along southern Spain. But sadly your medical insurance doesn’t cover international trips. In other words, you’ll be traveling without medical insurance, just when you need it most.
This is where holiday medical insurance comes in.
Holiday medical insurance is a type of medical insurance that covers your medical expenses while you’re traveling on vacation. This includes local travels and abroad, depending on the insurance policy you agreed to. Also called short-term medical insurance, holiday medical insurance is valid only as long as the vacation period specified in the insurance policy.
After the vacation period you lose coverage and revert back to your original medical insurance, if you had one.
Holiday medical insurances are offered by insurance companies partnered with travel agencies. Since people don’t usually plan vacations a year off, most of the time they only realize they need coverage when they’re already on the phone with their travel agent discussing the itinerary. A good travel agency should be able to recommend you a credible insurance company whom you could talk to about buying holiday medical insurance.
