What does travel insurance cover?

If you want to go to one of the CIS countries, then you absolutely need medical insurance for Russia, Moldova, Kazakhstan or other countries. The minimum amount of coverage should be 30 thousand euros. If you wish, you can take out a policy for a larger amount. The travel policy covers the costs of:

• Outpatient treatment;
• Inpatient treatment;
• Transportation costs when delivering the victim to a medical facility;
• Emergency transportation to the homeland if necessary;
• Purchase of medications prescribed by a doctor;
• Repatriation to the homeland in the event of death.

If you have any chronic diseases, it is important to understand that the policy does not cover treatment for exacerbation of chronic diseases. To cover such risks, you must take out an additional policy with the insurer.

Is it possible to expand insurance coverage?

If desired, the policy can be expanded by including additional options. They are not mandatory, so the insured decides independently whether to include them in the policy. Additional options include:

• Insurance for exacerbation of chronic diseases and allergies. An allergic reaction can occur when in contact with animals or plants, or when eating certain foods. This clause ensures that the treatment of allergies and chronic diseases will be paid for by the insurer;
• Insurance for sports. If you are going to the CIS countries to ski or engage in other sports, you must indicate this when applying for a policy. The fact is that the risk of various injuries during sports is higher than during passive recreation. That is why the insurer takes this risk into account.
• Insurance against non-departure. If an emergency cancellation of the trip occurs, then in this case the insured will receive compensation. The reason for the cancellation of the trip may be a refusal to issue a visa, health problems, participation in a lawsuit, etc.
• Insurance for luggage and property. In this case, the insurer will compensate for the cost of lost property. This will allow you to purchase the necessary things.

These options increase the cost of the policy, the more of them, the higher the cost. However, you get broader insurance protection.
