Unexpected illness or injury abroad can result in extremely costly hospitalization. Hospital expense coverage is one of the most critical benefits of travel insurance, covering emergency medical care and hospitalization costs when you need them most.
What hospital costs are covered?
- Room and board (ward or semi-private)
- Nursing services
- Operating room and surgical fees
- Intensive care unit charges
- Medical supplies and medications administered during your stay
- Diagnostic tests performed during hospitalization
Why are coverage limits important?
Hospital costs vary dramatically by country. A day in a US hospital can cost $5,000-$10,000+. Even in countries with lower medical costs, a multi-day stay with surgery can quickly reach tens of thousands of dollars. Make sure your policy limits are adequate for your destination - this is not a benefit where you want to under-insure.
