Anyone here get travel/health insurance? [View all]

My mother insists we get it.

Covers all medical (up to $1 million), drugs, evacuation back to the states if needed.

We are planning two trips, 4 weeks total next year. Geoblue (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) has a policy, one year for $390. It does require a base health insurance policy.

I’m thinking it’s a good idea, if nothing else it will stop her nagging.
