I’m not planning on getting sick on my upcoming trip, but if I do, I want to be prepared. I know travel insurance policies have changed a lot since the pandemic started, and I’m curious about the current (2024) guidance for documenting a Covid diagnosis for travel insurance claims. Does anyone have recent experience with this? What kind of documentation do insurers typically require now? Any tips on making the process smoother if I need to file a claim?
While we all hope to dodge the Covid bullet, it’s smart to be ready. From what I’ve heard, insurers in 2024 usually want a positive test result from a certified lab or healthcare provider—no DIY home tests. Keep all receipts for medical expenses and any communication with your insurer. Pro tip: snap photos of your docs as soon as you get them. That way, even if you lose the paper, you’ve got a digital backup. Safe travels, and fingers crossed you won’t need any of this!
