Pregnant and Looking for Travel Insurance
Q:Do you know of any insurance company that will cover international travel of a U.S. resident who will be traveling for two weeks in her 7th month of pregnancy?
A: Sure, you can get international travel insurance for two weeks, even if you are pregnant. However, you are not likely to find travel insurance that will cover maternity costs if you happen to go into labor and delivery while you are on your travels. This would be considered a pre-existing medical condition and these are not typically covered on a travel insurance policy.
Some travel insurance policies provide limited coverage for an acute onset of a pre-existing medical condition. Maternity may have further limitations and might provide only limited benefits that cover complications of pregnancy up to a certain maximum. For more information pertaining to these restrictions, contact a couple of travel insurance companies directly. HTH Worldwide at http://www.hthtravelinsurance.com , phone number 866-501-3254 or Specialty Risk International http://www.specialtyrisk.com phone 800-335-0611 are both good places to start your search.
