Find out what is already covered. Sometimes your health insurance will already cover you, even if you are going outside of the country. While they may not cover everything, they may still be able to provide to you coverage that you would be paying extra for. Check with your airlines, they will often reimburse you for cancelled flights as well as lost luggage.

Know your trip. If you are going on a trip that is considered dangerous, then you may not be fully covered. It is important that you know exactly what your itinerary consists of on your trip so that you will know what to watch out for in the fine print.
