Visitor insurance without sub-limits

What is sub limit in travel insurance?

Sublimits are extra limitations in an insurance policy's coverage of certain losses, primarily Sickness Medical expenses. They are part of the original limit, that is, they do not provide extra coverage, but set a maximum limit to cover a specific loss or for a specific medical expense. Sublimits can be expressed as a dollar amount or as a percentage of the coverage available. Typically they are part of the policy for insureds with advancing age.

For example, in a travel policy which has an Accident & Sickness Expense coverage of $100,000, it might have a sublimit of $10,000 to cover Surgery Expenses. This means that only $10,000 of the total coverage can go toward paying for Surgery Expenses. The insured cannot receive an insurance payout of an amount exceeding the sublimit for the types of loss specified.

Available Travel Insurance plans with no Medical Sublimits

There are many Indian insurance companies which provide travel medical insurance with no sub limits. Some others also call it as comprehensive travel insurance. Generally for senior citizens this term will come into picture as the insurance companies offer restricted cover on the overall policy maximum. However few companies will waive off this restrictions by offering plans without medical sub limits. Here the customer has to pay more than the regular plans and these cover the traveler up to the policy maximum.

We have tried to explain you with an working example below.

Example:

Let us take an example where the medical bill is $25,000.
The plan covers up to a maximum of $50,000.
Deductible is $100 - First $100 the customer needs to pay before the insurance company pays.
The insurance company pays full amount for the expenses after the deductible is paid by the customer, assuming the following breakdown:

Expense	Amount Billed	Plan Pays	Customer Owes
Ambulance	$700	$600	$100 (deductible)
Hospital Room Rent	$8,000 for 4 days	$8,000 for 4 days	$0
Surgical Treatment	$16,000	$16,000	$0
Physician’s visits	$400 for 4 days	$400 for 4 days	$0
Total	$25,100	$25,000	$100
