Find the best travel insurance for over 60s

International travel has been increasing again by seniors and elderly parents. However given the health risks especially for older travelers and parents along with increased healthcare costs involved in light of the pandemic, it is very important to have best over 60 travel insurance for seniors. Senior Citizens can buy cheapest holiday insurance over 60 by comparing travel insurance for elderly over 60

How do you handle international travel medical insurance for pre-existing chronic conditions?

Visitor travel health insurance plans never cover regular, required medical care for a chronic condition. For example, if a traveler takes medication regularly or requires treatment like dialysis, those things will have to be paid for out of pocket by the traveler and should be calculated into the cost of their trip. If medications are lost or stolen and need to be replace, that will require a doctor visit to get a prescription and then the purchase at the pharmacy all of which would have to be paid for by the insured. If the concern is for a sudden, unexpected flare up with a chronic, pre-existing condition, then there are a few plans which will cover that, but they are quite expensive and must be purchased for at least 90 days. Note also, that those plans also must be purchased BEFORE the travel begins and cover only travel to the US (some include Canada and Mexico).

Is $100,000 enough for travel insurance?

It depends. It depends primarily on where you are traveling to. For travel to Europe, some are required to purchase travel health insurance and many European countries only require $50,000, so that should be enough for travel to those countries. In other countries, like the US, Canada, and Japan costs are rising and one may want a higher amount of coverage if traveling there. The amount that is available for purchase depends on the age of the traveler, so the choice of maximum should be made depending on availability and destination of the traveler.

How much does travel insurance for 60 year old cost?

On average, over 60 travel insurance with medical conditions cost per month USA can range from $39 to $360 or more for a single trip. The cost of travel insurance focused on health depends on several factors, including the traveler's age and health (older the traveler, higher the cost), the destination and duration of the trip (insurance for travel to the U.S. is typically more expensive), the level of medical coverage selected (higher coverage increases the cost), the deductible and co-insurance options, and any additional benefits like coverage for pre-existing conditions, which can raise the premium.

What does best over 60 travel insurance cover?

The best senior travel insurance over 60 typically offers the following key benefits:

Emergency Medical Evacuation: covers the costs associated with returning the deceased’s remains to their home country.

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.

What are the best travel insurance for seniors with pre-existing medical conditions?

Pre-existing condition is a medical ailment that existed before the travel insurance became effective. Another term that we come across more frequently in insurance policies is "Acute onset of pre-existing condition". Acute onset of pre-existing condition is a sudden relapse of the pre-existing condition without advance warning which requires medical attention within 24 hours.

Travelers with pre-existing conditions always find it hard to buy travel health insurance. Some of the common conditions that are considered as pre-existing conditions are asthma, food & drug allergies, environmental allergies, heart related issues, high blood pressure, kidney disease, cancer, and diabetes. Typically all insurance providers have their terms and conditions for the pre-existing condition coverage provided. Most do not cover anything related to a pre-existing condition. Travelers can buy a travel insurance policy without a medical check, however chronic illnesses like cancer, parkinson's disease, Amnesia...which cannot be cured are not covered by the travel health insurance policies. With the pre-existing condition there is a "look back" period of 60-180 days to determine the claim. Most of the Insurance providers consider the age of the individual as a factor for providing this benefit. Most of the policies do not provide coverage for pre-existing conditions at the age of 70 and more.

Some US insurance providers offer senior citizen travel insurance for pre-existing conditions above the age of 80 with fixed or limited coverage. The Safe Travels USA, Safe Travels USA Cost Saver, and Safe Travels USA Comprehensive all offer $1000 coverage for pre-existing conditions without limitation to chronic illness. If travelers have a medical condition they are concerned about, it is very important for them to buy a policy that includes the illnesses in the coverage and to be aware of the terms of pre-existing condition coverage.

INF is one of the few companies which offers travel insurance plans for travelers with flexible coverage for pre-existing ailments. They define pre-existing conditions differently and do not exclude chronic illness. First of all, if the person has had no flare up or change in their condition, even if they take medication for it (as long as there has been no change in medication) for 12 months prior to the start of the plan, then the plan does not consider it as a pre-existing condition. If there has been a flare up or change in the condition, then it is covered but at a lower maximum than the overall maximum of the plan and may be subject to a higher deductible.

They have two plans which have this coverage: INF Premier X and INF Elite X. The Premier plan is a fixed plan which has limitations on the coverage of each medical expense. The Elite plan is an 80/20 comprehensive plan (the plan pays 80% and the insured 20% after the deductible). INF offers the best travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions but the difference is reflected in the cost, particularly in the Elite plan. Note that regularly needed maintenance medications or treatments are still not covered with these plans, only if there is a new problem will there be coverage. However, the problem does not need to be life-threatening or acute. Travelers with pre-existing conditions should weigh these options to reduce their risk of high medical costs should they suffer from one of their conditions while traveling. Note that the plans need to be purchased for at least 90 days, so these are more suitable for longer term stays in US, Canada, and/or Mexico. Also, the plans may be purchased by green card holders as long as they have a non-US residence address. The Elite plan has several variations: INF Elite X, Elite Plus X and INF Elite 90 X.

What makes travel insurance essential for Seniors Over 60?

Increased Health Risks

Seniors over 60 often have pre-existing medical conditions that can lead to unexpected health emergencies while traveling. Travel insurance provides crucial coverage for:

Medical Expenses: This includes hospitalization, doctor visits, and emergency medical treatments abroad. Policies typically cover expenses up to $100,000 or more, depending on the plan.
Emergency Evacuation: If a serious medical issue arises, travel insurance can cover the costs associated with emergency medical evacuation back to the U.S.

High Medical Costs in the USA

The high medical costs in the U.S. are a major concern for seniors, as they often require more healthcare services and face significant out-of-pocket expenses. Medicare helps, but coverage gaps and rising premiums costs place a heavy financial burden on older Americans. Seniors must plan carefully for healthcare costs, and consider supplemental insurance options to ease the financial burden.

Coverage for Pre-existing condition

Travel insurance for seniors over 60 with pre-existing conditions is available, but it often comes with specific requirements. Many plans offer a pre-existing condition waiver if purchased within 14-21 days of booking the trip, provided the condition has been stable for a certain period (usually 90-180 days). Coverage may have limits or exclusions for certain conditions like heart disease or cancer, and some plans may require medical screening. It's important to carefully review the policy to ensure it covers pre-existing conditions and to check for any age-related restrictions.

Travel insurance is not just an optional extra for seniors; it is a vital component of safe travel planning. By securing comprehensive travel insurance tailored to their needs, seniors can enjoy their journeys with greater confidence and peace of mind, knowing they are protected against unforeseen circumstances that could arise while traveling abroad.
