"I Highly Recommend This Insurance For All Who Travel Abroad"
"My husband was admitted to Quirónsalud Hospital in Valencia, Spain in May of 2018. He was anemic and was having trouble breathing from severe water retention. He is a diabetic and has heart problems. He had many tests, was given two pints of blood and was in the hospital for 8 days. The hospital and Berkshire Hathaway conferred through his stay for approval of all care that was given. I spoke with Berkshire Hathaway from the start on where to take my husband and again in the hospital. The hospital they recommended was excellent. The insurance covered our flights and so much more during our three-month stay in Europe. We were able to continue our trip after his release from the hospital. I highly recommend this insurance for all who travel abroad."

Emergency Medical Travel Health Insurance FAQs
Does travel insurance cover medical expenses?
Many plans include short-term medical coverage for travel abroad, but check plan details and/or read your policy to be sure.
Remember that emergency medical or travel health coverage is different from emergency medical evacuation coverage. It’s good to have both!
Should I buy a travel medical-only plan?
You can’t predict what can wreak havoc on your vacation plan, either before you leave or during your trip. A full-benefit, comprehensive travel insurance plan that includes coverage for crucial emergency medical expenses and medical evacuation is a smart purchase, especially if traveling outside the United States.
What does emergency medical travel health insurance cover?
The medical coverage with most full-benefit travel insurance plans will help pay doctor and hospital bills up to the benefit maximum for medical emergencies while you’re traveling. Many plans also have separate coverage for emergency dental procedures. Non-medical treatments or routine physical exams are often excluded from many plans.
Read your policy for exact coverage details and descriptions.
Can you buy emergency medical travel health insurance after booking?
Absolutely! Right after booking your trip is the best time to buy your travel insurance.
If you buy a BHTP policy within 15 days after making your initial trip deposit, pre-existing medical conditions may be covered, and your travel insurance medical coverage may become primary – meaning it will pay your medical bills first, before expenses are submitted to your health insurer.
Because travel health insurance specifically for your travels generally has fewer exclusions than a traditional health plan, that can mean less out-of-pocket expenses for you.
Is emergency medical travel health insurance worth it when I travel to Europe?
Even though Europe has some of the world’s best and most affordable healthcare, emergency medical travel insurance for European travel is still a good idea, as many European healthcare providers are out-of-network on most American plans.

“I used insurance for an expensive family trip to Europe. My son got sick for two days so a pre-paid private tour had to be cancelled for the two of us. Berkshire reimbursed me the non-refundable cost I incurred having to cancel. It was easy to submit and hassle free. I will definitely be using them again for an expensive trip.”
