to help you get started on your journey. We
want to make your travels as smooth, successful
and stress-free as we can.
Pre-existing medical conditions
“A traveler going abroad with any preexisting
medical problems should carry a letter
from the attending physician, describing
the medical condition and any prescription
medications, including the generic name
of prescribed drugs. Any medications being
carried overseas should be left in their
original containers and be clearly labeled.
Travelers should check with the foreign
embassy of the country they are visiting
to make sure any required medications are
not considered to be illegal narcotics.”

Your Health Insurance Coverage Abroad
“Before going abroad, learn what medical
services your health insurance will cover
overseas. If your health insurance policy
provides coverage outside the United States,
REMEMBER to carry both your insurance policy
identity card as proof of such insurance
and a claim form. Although many health insurance
companies will pay ‘customary and reasonable" hospital
costs abroad, very few will pay for your
medical evacuation back to the United States.
Medical evacuation can easily cost $10,000
and up, depending on your location and medical
condition… The Social Security Medicare program
does not provide coverage for hospital or
medical costs outside the US". – U S
Department of State
A listing of addresses and telephone numbers
of U.S. embassies and consulates abroad can
be found in U S Department of State, www.state.gov,
under Key Officers of Foreign Service Posts.

Your Credit and Other Bank Cards
Abroad
Before your departure, it is very
important to contact your banks and inform them of your travel
plans to ensure that your bank, ATM, credit and debit cards will continue to
work while you are abroad. Automated security measures in place that
flag transactions outside your normal spending
patterns. .
