Frequently Asked Questions about Missionary Travel Insurance

  • What is missionary travel insurance?

    Missionary travel insurance is travel medical insurance specifically designed for traveling missionaries and mission/religious groups. Organizations can purchase missionary travel insurance on behalf of their missionaries.

  • Why do I need mission trip insurance?

    Missionaries working abroad can be exposed to a number of risks in the form of injuries, illnesses, and unexpected expenses. The missionary’s domestic health insurance is unlikely to be accepted in a foreign country, so missionary travel insurance is necessary to protect the financial assets of the individual and the organization.

  • What is covered in missionary travel insurance?

    Typically missionary travel insurance can cover:

    • Emergency medical expenses – For new illnesses or injuries that occur after the effective date of the policy.
    • Trip interruption – Can pay for necessary travel expenses to return home early due to a qualifying event.
    • Emergency medical evacuation/repatriation – Can cover transportation costs to a suitable treatment facility or the insured’s home country if deemed medically necessary.
    • Accidental death and dismemberment – Can provide a lump sum payment in the event of the insured’s accidental death or loss of limb(s).
    • Ancillary benefits – These can include coverage for emergency RX drugs, natural disaster relief, emergency cash transfer, ID theft assistance, and other benefits that may vary by plan.
  • How much does missionary travel insurance cost?

    The cost of missionary travel insurance will vary depending upon the plan purchased, the insured’s personal details and trip details. Fill in your information in the form above to get your free quotes today!

Missionary Travel Insurance

Depending on what is most important for you to have covered, there may be a plan better tailored to your needs:

Missionary Health Insurance

While missionary travel insurance provides a short term medical insurance for trips abroad, you can purchase missionary health insurance that provides a long term major medical insurance which is annually renewable and may provide coverage in various geographic areas including worldwide and sometimes in your home country as well.

Trip Cancellation Insurance

While missionary travel insurance provides medical coverage while abroad, trip cancellation insurance can provide the coverage for your non-refundable prepaid trip costs if you need to cancel your mission trip for certain covered reasons. As long as certain conditions are met, several trip cancellation insurance plans allow you to cancel your mission trip for any reason; such trip insurance plans are higher priced and such coverage is typically optional at any additional premium.

Group Medical Insurance

Missionaries typically travel in a group. If you are a group of 5 or more missionaries that need either short term travel or long term major medical insurance, you can purchase group insurance. Missionary group travel insurance provides the same coverage as the individual travel insurance but is 10% cheaper and can still be purchased online instantly. Missionary group medical insurance typically requires underwriting and the quotes have to be requested manually.

Visitors to USA Insurance

Most missionaries typically travel outside the U.S. However, if you are missionary who is traveling to the U.S., you can purchase any of the visitors insurance plans. As healthcare expenses are very high in the U.S., proper medical protection is highly recommended. Visitors insurance will typically provide coverage everywhere in the U.S. and can be purchased from 5 days to 3 years. However, most plans are limited, up to 364 days.
