I heard that Fortis Health Insurance has extensive travel health coverage. What type of policies do they offer?

Fortis Health Insurance offers some types of travel insurance plans through Assurant, health insurance carrier. Fortis has a 24-hour hotline that travelers can contact anytime regardless of time zone. Standby customer representatives answer queries during medical emergencies, medical evacuation, and pre-certification.

Fortis Health Insurance has three types of travel insurance which include short-term international coverage, long-term international coverage, and trip cancellation coverage.

If you are considering buying travel health insurance, the type of coverage depends on the duration of your stay outside the country. Fortis Health Insurance’s short-term international coverage is a plan for travelers who plan to stay abroad for five days to up to two years. If you initially bought three-month coverage and decided to stay a little longer in your destination, you can renew the plan for up to two years without any gap in coverage.

Expats, international students, diplomats, and even entertainers who travel from one country to another or those individuals who are staying for an extended period of time can buy the long-term travel plan of Fortis. You may be interested to know that Fortis also has trip cancellation coverage where you can get a refund if a trip has been cancelled or cut short for some reason.

Know first your travel needs and length of stay before purchasing an insurance plan from Fortis Health Insurance. You can also ask a local insurance agent for more options and if the company has a satellite office in your destination.
