Health Insurance for Those Traveling Abroad

There is an insurer out there called Independence American who has, as a part of their standard issue major medical policies, clauses covering you for up to 90 days on an emergency basis when you travel out of the country. Independence Ameican is a NY based insurer and they write coverage in most of the country. This coverage is a part of their basic coverage and not supplemental insurance.

Health care traveling abroad

If you plan to do extensive traveling for several years (we plan to cruise the south pacific on our own sail boat), does anybody out there have suggestions as to what insurerer to use or type of plan to have? We have thought of a high deductible ($5,000 to $10,000) major medical plan but have not done any investigation as of yet (trip is a year away).

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Rick and Connie Hedrick
