Planning the Trip of a Lifetime? Don’t Forget to Plan for the Unexpected.
Before returning to Wisconsin to work in health insurance, my wife Emily spent years overseas teaching veterinary skills in developing countries. This year, the organization she worked with is celebrating their 50th anniversary in Antalya, Turkey—and we’re heading there for a two-week trip to celebrate and explore.
For Emily, international travel is second nature. For me? Not so much.
As we started planning—booking flights, researching tours, even lining up a day of fishing on the Mediterranean Sea with a local guide—I realized how much there is to think about when traveling abroad. One thing I didn’t even know existed until recently? Travel Health Insurance.
And that’s exactly the problem.
When Travel Planning Stops at the Fun Stuff
Traveling internationally is exciting. You focus on the experiences, the culture, the food, and the memories you’ll make. But what often gets overlooked is the uncomfortable question:
What happens if something goes wrong?
An unexpected illness.
An injury while sightseeing.
A medical emergency far from home.
Even the unthinkable—medical evacuation or death abroad.
Most U.S. health insurance plans—including Medicare—do not provide adequate coverage outside the country. That means one emergency could turn into a financial crisis.
