Question:

I am considering purchasing one of your Covid-19 travel insurance with quarantine coverage. Suppose I get tested positive, so it is not allowed to board an airplane bound for the US by a restriction of CDC. Would the insurance above reimburse the cost for an additional stay in Mexico which is inevitable to meet the CDC regulation? I have heard that quarantine is just "advisable" in Mexico, even if getting a positive covid test result. In addition, in my view, your certificate wording indicates that only "mandatory" quarantine falls within the "Quarantine" which triggers your reimbursement. It also explicitly excludes "embargo" as a cause for your covers. By any chance, does a Covid infection suffice by itself to meet the term "Sick"? If not, there seems to be no way for travelers to Mexico to be covered by your quarantine coverage. I am sorry for the long question and thank you for your answer in advance.

Answer:

Any of the plans in our quarantine coverage section for U.S. residents traveling outside the U.S. including travel to Mexico, will provide both Covid-19 medical coverage for medically necessary testing and treatment as long as it manifests or is contracted after the effective date, and can provide Travel delay benefits which can cover lodging and accommodations if you are ordered to quarantine.

Covid-19 is treated as any other new illness covered under the plan.

We would recommend this plan: /safe-travels-outbound/travel-health-insurance/
