Medical travel insurance
Has anyone purchased medical travel insurance? I found a company that offers it but the hospital has to be JCI approved so it would limit my choices a little.
I am also worried about asking my insurance people about coverage in fear of tipping them off about my plans. I don't want my employer paid insurance calling it a pre-existing condition and I don't want to be stuck in mexico with no accidental health or death benefits from my supplimental insurance. I am young an poor so there is not alot of money to be had from my insurance plans but i certainly don't want to be a burden on my family if something were to go wrong.

Hi Mandy,
I looked into travel insurance too, but what I found with most plans is that they won't cover complications resulting from a procedure you knowingly went to have done. But. . . . I was looking at the cheaper plans, so the one you are considering might have better coverage.
What is the name of the plan. It might be a good option for future travelers.
By the way, my surgeon practices at JCI accredited hospitals and I would recommend him very highly. I couldn't have been more pleased with my recent surgery. I had gastric sleeve, but there was another girl having RNY. I think she said she paid $10,800 but I'm not sure. Maybe you can call and find out. The number is 800-545-8757 or www.drhoracio.com
Take care,
Dusty
