On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus a pandemic. On March 13, 2020 the President of the United States declared the outbreak a national emergency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that the complete clinical picture is not fully known. Typically younger demographics experience mild symptoms while older persons and those with pre-existing conditions can have severe symptoms, including illnesses resulting in death.
The current outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting travelers and their loved ones in many ways. The disease continues to grow at an exponential rate in many countries around the world, and most concerns over travel insurance fall into two main categories:
Travel Medical Insurance benefits can offer protection should you contract coronavirus and need to receive medical treatment. Travel Protection Insurance (which includes travel medical insurance as well) can offer protection should your trip be interrupted or impacted by travel bans or restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic. Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) Policies offer you the ability to cancel your trip before you leave for ANY reason including any concerns surrounding coronavirus on your health or itinerary. Coverage depends on a policy's specific exclusions, the destination, and date you purchased the plan. Most travel insurance plans do not cover epidemics or pandemics after a travel warning for the primary destination has been escalated to a level 3 or higher by the US State Department. For more details about how you can protect yourself, your loved ones, or your trip during this global health emergency, contact one of our Customer Care Experts today.
Travel Insurance breaks down into two categories. Understanding the distinction between Travel Medical Insurance and Travel Protection Insurance can all make the difference in getting the coverage you need.
Travel Insurance breaks down into two categories. Understanding the distinction between Travel Medical Insurance and Travel Protection can all make the difference in getting the coverage you need.
Travel medical coverage protects you from unforeseen injuries, accidents, or illnesses. If you arrived at your destination before any Coronavirus restrictions were put in place, you should be covered. If you've purchased your plan after travel warnings and alerts were issued, you might not be covered.
Trip Protection gives you coverage for pre-paid expenses like flights and bookings, as well as for lost luggage. If you currently have a Trip Protection policy, coverage for Coronavirus might not be provided if you didn't purchase a Cancel for Any Reason upgrade.
