Brief Description of Coverage
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the pre-existing condition waiver and how can I qualify?
A.
Insurance must be purchased by Final Trip Payment for the Pre-Existing Medical Condition Exclusion to be waived. This is applicable to all coverages contained in the plan. You must be medically able to travel when you pay your plan cost. In the event a claim is filed, the injury or illness must be substantiated to our Claims Department.
Q. Does everyone need to purchase the insurance?
A.
Our plan is on a per person basis. Each person only needs to cover their own tour arrangements.

A.
Unforeseen events for Trip Cancellations are described in the optional insurance plan's Description of Coverage. Note that Trip Cancellation is not covered with the included insurance plan.
