Travelling
to a foreign land sets off the woes and worries within us and fills us with
zeal and happiness. But travelling overseas has a drive of its own. The feeling
itself is so different and filled with enthusiasm that one starts making
agendas and sets himself off for the required things while travelling overseas.
While doing constant research about a new land, one tries to leave no page
unturned due to the constant wondering and confusion while discovering vital information about
the new place.
While
noting things related to international travel what one tends to forget is
overseas medical insurance. But its importance is quite not realized till one
gets the chance to experience it.
Overseas travel comes with lots of
unpredictability. Not everything is found over internet about a place.
There are things that one finds out upon reaching that particular place. And at
times these things have the capacity to change one’ life in a bad
way. Starting from missing luggage to medical emergencies, overseas trouble can
be handled by a good travel medical insurance. In India, Religare has
introduced overseas medical insurance which provides one with security and
feeling of safety while travelling. Here are some things to remember while
buying a medical insurance overseas-
1. Knowing
the Terminology-The basic things about coverage and other clauses should be
carefully studied before investing in any medical insurance overseas.
2. Type
of Coverage- The type of coverage as in, whether the claim will be settled in
a cashless way or via reimbursement, is very necessary to know.
3. Exclusions-
One should not buy the cheapest overseas medical insurance available in the
market because of the cost; instead one should enquire if it’ll cover the
necessary cost of emergency cases during the trip.
4. Compare-
Comparing overseas medical insurance plans enables one to know the current
market offerings with various features, which allows him/her to choose the
best suited one.
5. Process-
One should do a complete research on the claim filing process and disclose
everything honestly in advance - such as items carrying while travelling or
any pre-existing diseases which will make the entire claim process
hassle-free.
Thus,
owning an overseas medical plan is very necessary while travelling abroad. It
is the only thing that will come to aid in distress in foreign land.
