Travel Tips

  • Proof of travel medical insurance
    • Purchase travel medical insurance before you travel, and carry proof of insurance at all times.
  • All necessary medications and prescriptions
    • Prescription refills in the United States may be delayed or unavailable. Keep medication in its original packaging.

Emergency care will be provided regardless of your ability to pay in an emergency department. However, it is strongly recommended you secure travel medical insurance prior to travel as you may receive a bill after care. Bills can be extremely costly without insurance. Routine care that is not emergent can still be quite expensive without travel medical insurance in the United States.

While it’s possible to refill your prescription, some may not be approved for use in the United States, and it may take longer to refill if it requires a physician’s order outside the United States. It is best to bring all the necessary medications with you for your trip. Keep medication in its original packaging.
