La Romana insurance, a must for you and your family
There are several different types of travel insurance policies available, ranging from Trip Cancellation Insurance to Emergency Medical Evacuation, all of which vary widely by company in what their coverage includes and how much it costs. Make sure you know exactly what your policy will and will not cover before you purchase anything. If you're asking yourself whether you need to buy travel insurance for an upcoming trip, first look at the insurance policies you already have to see what they will cover. Some medical insurance policies will cover medical emergencies overseas while others will not. Many homeowners policies cover Baggage Loss. Also, many credit card companies (particularly gold cards) offer their members Baggage Loss, International Medical Assistance, and Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance if they simply charge their airline tickets on their credit card or for a small additional fee. When considering Trip Cancellation Insurance, take time to think about what sort of nonrefundable arrangements you will be purchasing for your trip. If you are spending a large sum of money on a cruise that is nonrefundable, and if you might cancel for any reason, then buying trip cancellation insurance might be a prudent idea for your situation. Many comprehensive travel insurance policies now include coverage if your tour operator defaults; however, it is important to understand exactly what is covered by your policy. If you buy a policy directly from a tour provider, usually it does not cover the default of that provider. Some policies only cover tour operator default if the operator files for bankruptcy which they might never do even if they default. Information on health precautions for travelers can be obtained from local health departments, private doctors, or travel clinics. You may also call the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 24-hour hotline on (404) 332-4559 for information on immunizations and health risks worldwide. Review your health insurance policy. U.S. medical insurance is often not valid outside the United States. Medicare/Medicaid does not provide payment for medical services obtained outside the U.S. In addition to medical insurance, consider obtaining insurance to cover evacuation in the event of an accident or serious illness. Considering air evacuation to the United States can easily cost $15,000 if you are not insured, insurance to cover a medical evacuation is relatively inexpensive. There are short-term health and emergency assistance policies designed for travelers. If you need medical attention during your trip, your hotel may be able to recommend the nearest clinic, hospital or doctor, or you can obtain a list of local medical services from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. In a medical emergency, a U.S. consul can help you locate medical treatment. The most prevalent health hazard in the Caribbean is one you can avoid -- overexposure to the sun. Use sunscreen and bring a shirt to wear over your bathing suit, especially if you plan to snorkel. Where the quality of drinking water is questionable, bottled water is recommended. Travelers to remote areas should boil or chemically treat drinking water.
