INSURANCE COMPARISON

 

Comparison of Regent, CSA, and HTH and Travelex Insurance Plans
 

This can be very confusing.  The key issues are pre-existing conditions, primary or secondary coverage for medical costs, amount of emergency evacuation insurance, your age, whether you are covering children. For extended long cruises it becomes even more complex. No ONE policy stands out as the best it depends on your personal situation

KEY ISSUES CLARIFIED

PRIMARY OR SECONDARY COVERAGE

Best insurer on this issue: Travelex

This can be a big issue.  Many people ONLY want primary insurance on their travel policy for medical expenses.

If you have two insurance companies involved, then it can be a problem when overseas and can create more stress.  Some policies will not cover you overseas and until you are in the critical situation it can be difficult to determine these issues.  We have heard of real problems for people who do not have PRIMARY medical travel insurance.

The insurance company has much higher risk associated with this coverage. Yet Travelex is often close in  price as HTH or Regent (depending on your age).


 
Regent, CSA and HTH – only offer secondary coverage.

 

PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS

Best insurer on this issue: HTH or CSA; depends on coverage premium. Call for quote or see rate chart below.
All pre-existing conditions covered if paid within 24 hours of the final payment.
 

Travelex offers full pre-existing coverage but premium must be paid within 21 days of DEPOSIT for the trip. If not paid in time the travelers not covered for pre-existing conditions AND neither are the family members.
 

Regent offers pre-existing coverage at ALL times for family members not traveling but only a waiver for pre-existing conditions if full insurance is paid within 72 hours of the deposit.
 

Clarity on pre-existing condition coverage.
You must be free of any new condition and had no change in treatment for a pre-existing condition for 60 days (Regent) or 90 days (Travelex) or 180 days (HTH & CSA) before purchasing the insurance. If you meet this qualification then you ARE covered for pre-existing conditions.

 

AGE CONCERNS – DEPENDS ON YOUR AGE


Best insurer on this issue – The older you are, then Regent.The younger you are HTH, CSA or Travelex
