Health Insurance
The United States offers one of the finest levels of health care in the world. The problem is
that it can be prohibitively expensive. It's essential to purchase travel-health insurance if
your policy doesn't cover you when you're abroad.
If your health insurance does not cover you for medical expenses abroad, obtain supple-
mental health or travel insurance.
Find out in advance whether your insurance plan will make payments directly to the pro-
viders or if it will reimburse you later for any overseas health expenditures.
