consumed…
Ok, I’ll admit… I’ve been a bit consumed by travel insurance lately. Maybe because I’ve been bitten by the “you didn’t tell me you billed twice” thing with a US hospital. There’s something on my credit report, I’m waiting until Monday when things are open again to find out exactly what it is! I’m not impressed.
So I guess I’ve also been ranting at home about insurance and this whole ordeal because on Friday, my hubby gets a local business paper and the front page article is all about travel insurance, “Uninsured travel might sicken you.” Hubby throws it at me, “Here, add this to your blog!”.
I haven’t had time to read the full thing this weekend as there are only 5 days before Christmas and all throughout the house, all the creatures are stirring and even the mice! I have 4 kids, have I told you that yet?! 4 kids who are very very excited about Christmas Day. That’s to say it mildly!! lol
But here’s the gist, it’s true, if you travel without travel insurance the costs could be enormous. Before you go away again, check with your insurance provider. If you have a credit card, you may and may not be covered. My sister went to Hawaii with her family and her husband got stung by a ton of jellyfish. They went off to the hospital and when she called the insurance part of her credit card company, she found out that they weren’t covered. Why? Because they didn’t inform the company about the trip before they left the country. So here they were, he’s burned all over his chest and arms and they have no money to cover the hospital bills.
That’s all I’m going to say about that for a while. haha yeah right!!
