Plan ahead in case of any hospital visits, emergencies, or other unexpected expenses during your trip.  \nThere are different kinds of travel or trip insurance that can protect your health, your trip, and your finances. Here are the main types to consider:\nWe recommend that you buy travel health insurance before your trip. U.S. Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for medical care outside the United States.\nCheck with your U.S. health insurance provider and ask if they cover emergency and routine \nmedical care\nwhile abroad.\nIf your regular medical insurance does not cover you, consider getting a short-term policy. There are some policies that make direct payments to hospitals.\nFor more information, review the \nCDC insurance\n page. \nWe strongly recommended that you buy medical evacuation insurance when traveling to\nareas with higher risk\nor\nlimited medical care\n. \nYou can purchase this separately or as an add-on to your travel health insurance policy. Most policies cover medical care and emergency transportation. \nThis kind of insurance helps you get your money back if you need to cancel or change travel plans like flights, cruises, or train trips.. \nIt usually\ndoes not\npay for medical costs in other countries.\nIf you plan to \ndrive in another country\n, your U.S. auto insurance might not cover you abroad. \nYour U.S. auto policy also needs to meet local insurance requirements.\nCheck with your provider before traveling. \nCar rental companies sometimes offer auto insurance options to cover you during your trip.\nTravel insurance can be very different from one policy to another. Review the policy carefully. Make sure it covers items like: \nValidity in counties you plan to visit \nLength of your trip \nEmergency medical care \nMedical transportation back to the United States\nTravel and lodging expenses \nCash for emergencies\nAll current medical conditions for you and your family \nActivities you plan to participate in\nFind out if the insurance company has a 24-hour help line to call during your trip.\nMedical services\nwhile abroad \nReview the\nHealth\nsection of the\nTravel Guidance\nfor your destination.","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to content](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/planning\/guidance\/insurance.html#tsg_upper_section_root_container)\n\n![US Flag](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/dam\/tsg_aem\/banner-images\/us_flag_small%201.png)\n\nAn official website of the United States government\n\nHere's how you know\n\nHere's how you know\n\n![Icon for US government website](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/dam\/tsg_aem\/banner-images\/icon-dot-gov.svg)\n\n**Official websites use .gov**\n\nA **.gov** website belongs to an official government organization in the United States.\n\n![A lock indicating the site is secure](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/dam\/tsg_aem\/banner-images\/icon-https.svg)\n\n**Secure .gov websites use HTTPS**\n\nA lock (![](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/dam\/tsg_aem\/banner-images\/icon.svg)) or **https:\/\/** means you’ve safely connected to the .gov website.

Plan ahead in case of any hospital visits, emergencies, or other unexpected expenses during your trip.\n\n## Insurance coverage when traveling abroad\nThere are different kinds of travel or trip insurance that can protect your health, your trip, and your finances. Here are the main types to consider:\n\nTravel health insurance\n\n- We recommend that you buy travel health insurance before your trip. U.S. Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for medical care outside the United States.\n- Check with your U.S. health insurance provider and ask if they cover emergency and routine [medical care](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/planning\/guidance\/medicine-health.html) while abroad.\n- If your regular medical insurance does not cover you, consider getting a short-term policy. There are some policies that make direct payments to hospitals.\n- For more information, review the [CDC insurance](https:\/\/wwwnc.cdc.gov\/travel\/page\/insurance) page.\n\nMedical evacuation insurance\n\n- We strongly recommended that you buy medical evacuation insurance when traveling to [areas with higher risk](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/travel-advisories\/high-risk-areas.html) or [limited medical care](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/planning\/guidance\/medicine-health.html).\n- You can purchase this separately or as an add-on to your travel health insurance policy. Most policies cover medical care and emergency transportation.\n\nTrip cancellation insurance\n\n- This kind of insurance helps you get your money back if you need to cancel or change travel plans like flights, cruises, or train trips..\n- It usually **does not** pay for medical costs in other countries.\n\nAuto insurance abroad\n\n- If you plan to [drive in another country](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/planning\/guidance\/driving-transportation.html), your U.S. auto insurance might not cover you abroad.\n- Your U.S. auto policy also needs to meet local insurance requirements.\n- Check with your provider before traveling.\n- Car rental companies sometimes offer auto insurance options to cover you during your trip.\n***\n## Checklist for buying travel insurance\nTravel insurance can be very different from one policy to another. Review the policy carefully. Make sure it covers items like:\n\n- Validity in counties you plan to visit\n- Length of your trip\n- Emergency medical care\n- Medical transportation back to the United States\n- Travel and lodging expenses\n- Cash for emergencies\n- All current medical conditions for you and your family\n- Activities you plan to participate in\n\nFind out if the insurance company has a 24-hour help line to call during your trip.\n\n### Resources for your healthcare abroad\n- [Medical services](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/planning\/guidance\/medicine-health.html) while abroad\n- Review the **Health** section of the [Travel Guidance](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/travel-advisories.html) for your destination.\n\nLast Updated: August 11, 2025\n\nOwned by Overseas Citizens Services\n\n[Return to top](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/planning\/guidance\/insurance.html#topOfPage)\n\n## Travel.State.Gov Services\n- [U.S. Passports](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/passports.html)\n- [U.S. Visas](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/us-visas.html)\n- [International Travel](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel.html)\n- [Intercountry Adoption](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/Intercountry-Adoption.html)\n- [International Parental Child Abduction](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/International-Parental-Child-Abduction.html)\n- [Replace or Certify Documents](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/replace-certify-docs.html)\n\n## Information\n- [About](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/about-us.html)\n- [Careers](https:\/\/careers.state.gov\/)\n- [Newsroom](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/News\/newsroom.html)\n- [Travel Advisories](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/en\/international-travel\/travel-advisories.html)\n- [Find U.S. Embassies and Consulates](http:\/\/www.usembassy.gov\/)\n\n## Legal Resources\n- [Legal Information](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/legal.html)\n- [Info for U.S. Law Enforcement](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/consularnotification.html)\n- [Reports and Statistics](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/about-us\/reports-and-statistics.html)\n\n## Login\n- [MyTravelGov Login](https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/about-us\/mytravelgov.html)\n\nThe State Department provides external links solely for our readers' information and convenience.

Most policies cover medical care and emergency transportation. Trip cancellation insurance - This kind of insurance helps you get your money back if you need to cancel or change travel plans like flights, cruises, or train trips.. - It usually does not pay for medical costs in other countries. Auto insurance abroad - If you plan to [drive in another country](https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/planning/guidance/driving-transportation.html), your U.S. auto insurance might not cover you abroad. - Your U.S. auto policy also needs to meet local insurance requirements. - Check with your provider before traveling. - Car rental companies sometimes offer auto insurance options to cover you during your trip. * ## Checklist for buying travel insurance Travel insurance can be very different from one policy to another.
