When Is Travel Insurance a Good Idea?

You've just landed in Mexico, and you trip on the sidewalk. Your ankle is throbbing. What do you do? The simple answer, you might think, is go straight to the hospital. But, depending on your health insurance, your broken bone may not be covered. Even if it is, finding a hospital that has an English translator on staff, and doctors who will see you right away and accept your coverage, can be difficult. In fact, most hospitals and doctors outside of the United States require payment of medical fees upfront even if you do have your own medical insurance, according to Matt Tassey, past chairman of the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education, a non-profit insurance educational firm. This means you may end up shelling out thousands of dollars out-of-pocket.
