There was a thread I read in past on the HCC forum about suggestions for good travel or overseas medical insurance alternatives. I don't recall the thread but instead of wading through all of them, if knowledgeable members here could reference that information or just add in what they know, I'd appreciate it. This is for my daughter, who'll be living abroad in Argentina the next eight to ten months. She is likely to be working free lance as an English teacher or tutor without employer medical benefits locally.

Any information is appreciated.

The thread discussed alternative travel insurance. These are only good for short term travel, I believe the longest being 30-60 days so I don't think that is what she needs. I don't know of other overseas medical insurance myself.

Appreciate that clarification. If I find out anything, even though not directly relevant to this forum, I'll share it.

This is an interesting, fairly comprehensive trip insurance website.

I think this might be a good thread to move to one of the general forums.

Ahead of every trip the best thing you can do is to find out which hospital you would actually want to go to in the event of any medical emergency. It'll take five or ten minutes ahead of trip and in the event that you don't need to go there is a complete waste of time. In the event that you do need treatment, it's the best investment of time you've ever found. You should also have a family membership in Medjetassist.
