When we advise a wider audience, we try to warn about the need to pay attention to this matter and take on good travel insurance, but in this case, we do not need to insist more. Being parents, you will be very sensitive about it.
Keep in mind that you must cover your health needs by yourself and that you will not be given any service without first having secured your payment.
There are excellent private hospitals, but they are not cheap. They will not only ask you about your travel insurance, but they will also check the limits of your policy 🧐.
Just saying that in case something goes wrong, it is better not to have any problem with money. It would allow you to focus on the main issue from the beginning.
Therefore, we recommend a health care spending limit of at least USD 50,000 per person and, if possible, raising it to $200,000 or even higher.
When would you really miss a good coverage?
If you have an accident while travelling or a serious illness, you will want to go home as soon as possible. But what happens if that is not possible because hospitalization is urgent 🤕? For example, due to appendicitis.
There would be no alternative, you would also need an anesthesiologist, surgeon and operating room, and if all goes well, spend a few days in a hospital until you are in a position to be repatriated.
