An overview
Visitor Medical Insurance plans have been designed for international travelers to protect them while they are outside their home country. In some countries such as the US, Canada and most European nations health care is very expensive, travelers are required to purchase insurance before the consulates of these countries will even issue them a visa to travel there. Visitors to foreign countries can buy the insurance from one of several different travel insurance plan providers. This ensures that they will not be left in the lurch should they have an illness or injury.
