replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A8 Many medical insurance plans cover emergencies in other countries, but you have to pay up front, keep receipts and then seek reimbursement #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A8 Mine doesn’t (and I don’t think anyone else’s does). That’s why I always get travel insurance. #TravelSkills

A8. Our insurance doesn't cover much outside of the US. I typically call our provider before I leave the country to see what is and what isn't. #TravelSkills

A8: It’s incomplete coverage. @worldnomads, @globalrescue, @medjet would round it out. #TravelSkills #thisisadventure

A8: Ack, I’m not sure actually but I would doubt it. I lean on my policy with @AllianzTravelUS to take care of me for a lot of things #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A8: Yes, we’re covered. I know because my wife works with Allianz. #TravelSkills

A8 We do know that medicare does NOT cover our health when we're traveling abroad, because we've just put it to the test, twice. Yes, our @AllianzTravelUS policy covered illness in India and dog bite in Vietnam #TravelSkills #TravelHappy https://t.co/PJ2sWJcTVG

A8: No. If you're a frequent traveler, you might want to consider annual travel insurance to cover your medical needs abroad: https://t.co/XhOqinuXBR #TravelSkills

A8: Honestly no idea...why even risk it when you can purchase @AllianzTravelUS and know you are covered? Too many loopholes with personal insurance that you have to go through & tend to always avoid paying out...plus the customer service is nothing like Allianz! #TravelSkills

A8. Adventure Activities and Extreme Sports- It’s important to note that most personal insurance policies will not cover a specific list of adventure activities and extreme sports during your travels.
(scuba diving, bungee jumping, whitewater rafting...) #TravelSkills

A8 Great question! Health insurance is usually the last thing people think about when booking travels. Very important to make sure you're covered #TravelSkills @Allianz

A8: Yes, my health insurance covers me while traveling abroad. However, it would be considered out of network coverage. I called my provider and asked! It is interesting how medical treatment in some countries outside the USA is way cheaper. #medicaltourism #TravelSkills

A8: Personal health insurance varies and doesn’t cover for emergency airlifts or chambers In the event of a #scubadiving accident so we always carry #travel insurance and @DiversAlert insurance to safeguard us #TravelSkills #traveltips

A8. Ours does, but with some limitations. So far all we’ve ever needed was some meds or a doctor visit but I know that a major medical need could be around the corner. #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A8: My personal insurance covers a lot but when diving I have special diving insurance in case the need for emergency evacuation is needed because of a diving injury like the bends. #travelskills
