My mother, a citizen of India was to travel to Sweden for a wedding last summer. In order to get a Schenghen Visa (which is a requirement) she needed to show the Swedish Embassy proof of medical insurance policy. It was mandatory for her to show that she was covered by an insurance policy with a policy maximum of $50,000 for medical and hospitalization benefits, $7,500 for repatriation and $10,000 for evacuation.
I assumed it would be easy enough to find, but then I realized that most policies limit the maximum coverage amount for people over 80. My mother was 89 then.I was extremely concerned. While surfing online I found schengen visa insurance plans specifically designed to suit the health insurance requirements of the traveler visiting Schengen countries.
The website provided me a really easy to use search engine that helped me find several Schengen visa medical insurance policies that fit both my requirements and my budget. I was even able to call and speak to a customer care representative who guided me through the actual purchase of the policy. I was able to do it online while sitting in my office in San Jose and e-mail the plan documents to my mother in India. The plan I purchased from was called Atlas International Insurance – a plan that is Schenghen visa approved. Those who have any doubts regarding Schengen visa health insurance can contact 1-877-340-7910.
