I am interested in purchasing medical travel insurance for my son’s wife who is 7 months pregnant. She is a citizen of China (PRC) and is married to my son, a U.S. citizen. My son is employed in Singapore and has medical insurance through his work for the two of them. They will be visiting the U.S. from June 6th – June 22nd, 2012. Is there medical travel insurance available which covers for pregnancy, and what companies offer this coverage?

Thank you,
Janet Donnelly

Four of our family travelling to Nicaragua for a medical mission. We will be there for one week. What would be best for us?

I'm a U.S. citizen working on a contract in Malaysia. I've been here for 6 years. My contract will expire at the end of this year. When my contract ends my medical insurance also ends. I will be traveling to the U.S. in January and returning overseas in March. What insurance plan would best suit my needs for coverage in the U.S. during my visit there? Thank you, T. Robinson

Hello Tom, We're assuming that your health insurance plan will pick up when you go overseas in March? If so, there are at least two plans will provide the short-term medical coverage you need when visiting the States:

Liaison Continent

Liaison Majestic

Both are from Seven Corners. Be sure to read the policy details. If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you'll need to verify whether these plans are right for you (we didn't look into that). Let us know if you have any other questions! Virginia

Does anyone know the % of US travellers using travel medical insurance?

Hi Anthony,

The Travel Insurance Review team here. While we don’t have any research on the percentage of travelers taking travel medical insurance, the U.S. Travel Insurance Association (USTIA) may have that information. You can find their website and contact info here: http://www.ustia.org.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Ok,,this has been a tedious process of trying to find a decent travel medical insurance carrier…all the reviews are bad or way below standard…what gives? are they ALL like that?? I dont mind paying a ‘fair price’…but I dont want to get into any situation of..’you get what you pay for’..so, with that,,can anyone recommend any other carriers that have less of the similar complaints than the above? I am specifically looking for medical travelors insurance and companies who work with medical facilities on claims…Thanks!
