Personal Finance

I bought a policy from Travelex (TravelLite) for myself and my two children (adding them was free with my policy) for a 3 week trip to Alaska to visit family. We had no health insurance at all at the time and i wanted to be sure if anything happened we’d be covered.

My daughter woke up one morning with what we thought might be appendicitis. I called Travelex and told them we’d find a local doctor, they said fine and let them know what happened. We found one who could see her and he too thought it might be appendicitis. So he sent us to a surgeon for a consult. That surgeon determined that is was most likely NOT appendicitis and sent us home with instructions to watch for certain things.
