Travel health insurance seniors over 65, Over 65 travel insurance

Retired seniors while traveling outside the US should be aware of the need for travel health insurance. Healthcare costs abroad is expensive and US citizens often do not realize that medicare offers very limited coverage outside the USA.
Senior citizens and US pensioners should buy specific travel insurance pensioners plans that offer cashless hospitalization as well as provide cover for evacuation/repatriation and per-existing conditions in the event of a medical emergency abroad.

The top five destinations popular among US citizens are: Mexico (27 million), Canada (12.9 million), the Europe (12.5 million). Within Europe United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain are the most popular.

However recent trends indicate that while travel to traditional destinations of Canada, Mexico and Europe have remained steady, new destinations such as India, China, South Korea, Dubai, Israel, regions in Central and South America have found favor with US travelers. Here is an article which says in detail how to insure your trip expenses.

Best annual travel insurance for seniors

Why should I buy travel insurance for US seniors?

Should Seniors buy trip cancellation insurance?

Trip cancellation insurance is very important for seniors as it provides protection for the non-refundable cost of the trip as well as the health of the US senior citizens. The non-refundable expenses includes cost of hotel bookings, air tickets, rail and cruise ticket expenses ... Travel protection insurance for seniors can also include coverage for sports equipment like Golf or Ski equipment and car rental, however these are sometime add-on benefits and not part of the basic plan. Travel insurance for seniors include protection from unexpected expenses such as damaged, stolen, lost or delayed baggage.

US seniors find Trip cancellation insurance very useful for expensive vacations, especially if it involves international travel. Some cruise insurance protection offered by cruise lines provides very little benefits given their cost, this is particularly important for Seniors cruise vacationers who are most vulnerable and likely to need the benefits offered by the best senior cruise travel insurance plans. US domestic health insurance plans will not offer coverage for trip expenses and health of the traveler when they are outside US borders. US seniors can compare and buy trip cancellation coverage.

Is it worth buying trip insurance with cancel for any reason?

While some US seniors travel insurance plans require that the trip is cancelled for an approved reason other plans are available with 'cancel for any reason' benefit. However one must buy the 'cancel for any reason' as an add on option. There are different reasons why one would cancel their trip. Trip cancellation insurance has a list of legitimate reasons for cancelling a trip which are covered under the trip cancellation benefit. The Cancel for any reason benefit is an add-on benefit and would offer coverage for canceling the journey for any reason and it will refund up to 75% of the non-refundable trip expenses.

Do US seniors with Medicare need travel insurance?

Many US Seniors who are retirees travel around the world on holidays. Most US seniors have Medicare and since Medicare is an US federal health insurance program for senior citizens over 65 years, it will not offer medical coverage outside the US except when they are on cruise with the waters connecting the US states. International travel insurance for Medicare recipients is important and US senior citizens must be well informed about the international travel insurance coverage limitations of Medicare while outside the US. US seniors who rely on Medicare and travel internationally should buy supplemental travel medical insurance.
