Health Insurance for Int Travel - US Citizen
Hello all,
Long time lurker and occasional moto traveler here - starting to think in terms of longer term international travel. Although I'd like to leave trip details much looser - one thing I'd like to be plan for and research is health insurance options. I think this is one thing that arranged properly adds to the peace of mind during travel.
I'm a dual citizen - US and CA - but have never lived or worked in CA. Born, raised, and lived in the States my whole live. I only bring that up - because I don't know if that makes any difference really in obtaining int health insurance. I only hold a US passport, but plan to a apply for a CA passport as well.
I've searched this site - and others - but was hoping to hear more from folks (US Citizens in particular) that have direct experience with any health insurance companies contracted for a up to a year - maybe more (spending most of that time outside US borders) for insurance plans.
Ideally I'd like to spend a some time in the western US, before departing the country south - and it already looks like most insurance companies don;t offer coverage both inside the US borders, continuing internationally. With the new mandates in place - I know I'd be required to have it stateside - before departing.
Anyways, looking for general feedback, direct experience, alternatives maybe I haven't thought of?, etc…
I do plan something like a MedJet Evac plan (either separately or if there is a company that offers both medical and evac).
Thanks all!
