"Before going abroad for business, said Rob Howard, Director of Corporate Sales for HTH Worldwide, a travel insurance company in Radnor, Pa., travelers should find out if their medical policy covers sickness and injuries overseas. Even if policies do promise reimbursement, travelers probably will have to pay any costs upfront for medical care, he said. Most insurance policies do not cover evacuation, which can easily run into the six figures," he said.
