Travel Advisory

This is a Travel Advisory for any Tourist that obtains

Travel Assist Plans, for medical coverage, which obligate

you to pay medical expenses first and then file an invoice

upon your return. We especially mention this to American

Tourists that this standard medical coverage offered is

insufficient for an emergency medical event. Pay particular

attention to your pamphlet or any other data that suggests

that you must pay all medical costs first - as Central Asia,

most of Asia, Africa and parts of Eastern Europe do not take credit cards for payment. These Regions are mostly 'cash-based' societies, therefore you must either take out additional international medical insurance coverage or you must prepare for the fact that emergency service may cost thousands of dollars and you must plan accordingly.

There are better choices for international medical travel plans available.
