Little do we know about the life of seafarers who are away from their family for almost 6 months in a year, isn’t it? I sometimes wonder about the nomadic lifestyle of the Marine Captains and Crew Members. Though, they get to travel to a lot of beautiful destinations, it comes with its own unique set of problems. The constant change in the weather, the rains and storms can take a toll on their health. Not to mention the looming threat of being attacked by the modern day pirates.

One would think that professional crew members might find it hard to get adequate medical coverage due to their continuous movement from one country to another. Not really. There are various options - one among them being - Global Crew Medical Insurance - a plan offered by International Medical Group (IMG). It's a complete international health insurance plan designed specifically for marine crew members.

The plan offers lifetime global coverage up to $5,000,000 with two options: coverage around the world or coverage excluding U.S. & Canada. Benefits such as 24 hours accessibility, emergency medical assistance, global healthcare benefits and elimination of the global hindrance of time, currency and language are worth mentioning.

Your war against health problems can readily be taken care of by Global Crew Medical Insurance!

I know there are thousands, like me, who enjoy traveling, but restrain themselves when they think about medical help abroad. The number of travelers; students, businessmen, visitors etc are steadily increasing. However, a very few of them are aware about the different types of international insurance plans available worldwide.

Whatever your reason may be to leave the country, go with the security of a good international travel health insurance policy, which will follow you wherever you go. Reside Worldwide Medical Plan is one such plan that covers you at home as well as allows you the privilege to seek medical help anywhere in the world.

The Reside Worldwide Health Insurance is available for any U.S / Non-U.S citizen who is at least 15 days old and has not crossed the age of 74. However, the insured person must either be outside US or at least plan to leave the US within a month of the policy’s effective date. The plan also offers coverage for the first 2 dependent children under the age of nine if both the parents are covered.

It is your responsibility to retain all records regarding travel history, age and status while traveling. You should be able to provide any documentation to the administrator in the event of any mishap, which I pray should never happen!

Are you one of those who just have to travel to stay alive? Do you believe that sitting in any one place for long will grow roots all around you? Do you just love to be air- or sea-borne at all times? Is business travel across borders an unavoidable part of your work? Well... Here is something for you.

As anyone who travels very frequently would know, every country has it's own share of differences in terms of weather, food, water, etc. which pose a unique set of challenges to one's health. But, obviously that can't be reason enough to stop travelling, isn't it? A mosquito bite here or a seasonal flu there can't stop a traveler.

But, health care expenditure can upset the budgets of the best planned trips. Domestic health insurance is often deficient in taking care of health care in other countries. Your typical traveler's insurance is not really designed for travelers crossing multiple borders on a regular basis. Nor, is it really well-suited for long term travel plans. Unplanned or emergency travel carries the risk of forgetting travel insurance.

In such a time, one needs the added protection of a policy that is long term, covers health care in all the countries that your travels may take you and is comprehensive. After all a mind filled with health care worries is a baggage that is best left behind during travels.
