Travel insurance isn’t required for entry to Panama, though it can be beneficial for travelers to have since many U.S. healthcare plans may not provide international medical expense coverage. Having a travel insurance plan provides you with certain medical expense coverage while you’re abroad. Additionally, your travel insurance plan can include medical evacuation coverage and assist with things like finding and English-speaking doctor, medical translation and prescription replacement assistance – things that are harder to navigate on your own in foreign countries1. Along with medical expense coverage your travel insurance plan can provide coverage for trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage coverage, coverage for certain adventure sports (with Travel Guard’s Adventure Sports Bundle) and more to help protect your travel investment.
