We are headed to Vienna, Italy, and London over Christmas this year. Will our family health insurance (United healthcare) cover us if something happens? If not, are there companies that sell travel health insurance? If so, any recommendations? Particular tour of coverage we need? It will be my wife, our two minor daughters, and myself. Thank you.

Plenty of companies sell Travel insurance to cover overseas medical.

Usually when you buy your airline tickets, they'll prompt you to buy insurance from one of their partners.

Travel Insurance is what you are looking for. There are many companies that offer this, and it is surprisingly not that expensive. Most traditional health insurances do not cover you outside of the country.

Insuremytrip.com is a good place to start. I used Squaremouth.com on my post recent policy.

Does seem like prices have gone up significantly. I just purchased an interruption+medical policy for a trip to New Zealand, and it was more than double (maybe even triple) what I've paid in the past for similarly priced trips.

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

Thanks for the shoutout!

I usually use RoamRight for my clients, but Travel Insured sometimes prices better for folks who are older. Other great companies are Allianz and Travel Guard.

I'm happy to help, it is of no cost to you. Email is in my profile.

Same for me - Arch Roam Right for clients as well as TravelInsured. Those are top choices that price well and offer great coverage.
I'd be glad to share quote if you'd like!
