Insurance Providers for Overseas Coverage
The Department of State assumes no responsibility or liability for the professional ability or reputation of, or the quality of services provided by, the insurance coverage providers whose names appear on the following lists. Inclusion on this list is in no way an endorsement by the Department. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance. The information on the list is provided directly by the insurance coverage providers; the Department is not in a position to vouch for such information. You may receive additional information about insurance coverage providers by contacting local associations or licensing authorities.
Several private organizations provide information and insurance for overseas travelers. Familiarize yourself with your travel and medical coverage before going overseas. The following is provided for informational purposes only and in no way constitutes an endorsement, expressed or implied, by the Department of State.
- Travel Insurance insures your financial investment in your trip. Typically it covers such things as the cost of your lost baggage and cancelled flights, but it may or may not cover costs of medical attention you might need while abroad.
- Travel Medical Insurance covers the cost of various levels of overseas medical treatment.
- Medical Evacuation Services provides air ambulance, medical evacuation or medical escort service coverage for overseas travelers.
In order for the Department of State to consider the inclusion of your company on this page, please complete and send this questionnaire and proof of licensure and good professional standing to InsuranceProviders@state.gov.

Traveler's Tip
Check your overseas medical insurance coverage: Ask your medical insurance company if your policy applies overseas, and if it covers emergency expenses such as medical evacuation. If it does not, consider supplemental insurance.
