Who should purchase The Diplomat International?
Travel medical insurance designed for U.S. Citizens traveling outside the United States or Non-U.S. Citizens traveling outside their home, with no travel to the United States. This valuable travel protection is ideal for students, business and leisure travelers, study abroad, international exchange students, tourists, holiday travelers, and church or missionary travelers.
Why do you need international travel insurance?
Problem for U.S. Travelers:
Most group and individual health plans sold in the United States provide limited (if any) coverage while traveling overseas. PPO’s do not extend their network’s abroad, so any difference in billing expenses or claims will become your responsibility. Private U.S. health plans rarely provide emergency medical air evacuation and repatriation benefits back to your home country. Finally, Medicare provides NO coverage outside the U.S.(see U.S, Passport for details).
Problem for Non – U.S. Citizens:
Nationalized or government sponsored health plans rarely provide adequate medical coverage for illnesses or injuries sustained while traveling outside your home country. Extreme sports, hazardous activities, emergency medical air evacuation and repatriation are usually not covered under nationalized health insurance schemes.
