Travel Insurance: Check Sub-Limits on Medical Benefits Beyond Sum Insured
Travel insurance policies may offer high overall sums insured, but travellers should carefully check sub-limits on specific medical benefits such as hospital room rent, ICU charges, surgery, doctor consultations, diagnostic tests, and ambulance expenses. These sub-limits can cap reimbursements, potentially leaving travellers responsible for costs exceeding those limits. Experts advise evaluating premiums, coverage extent, and individual benefit limits rather than focusing solely on the total sum insured to understand the actual protection provided.
