It’s a blessing that they are still around, but my Dad has pre-leukemia MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). Because of this, when I buy Trip Cancellation insurance, I always get a plan that covers <a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/how-travel-insurance-pre-existing-medical-conditions-coverage-works/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pre-Existing Medical Conditions</a> should my Dad’s health take a turn for the worse.</p> 217<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>How is a Family Member Defined?</strong></p> 218<p>A <strong>Family Member</strong> usually means your spouse or domestic partner, child, spouseâs child, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother, sister, mother, father, grandparents, grandchild, step-brother, step-sister, step-parents, parents-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, guardian, ward.</p> 219<p>Now that you know about this, you also need to know that the vast majority of Trip Cancellation insurance plans require you to buy the plan within a short amount of time after your <a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/initial-trip-deposit-date/" target="_blank">earliest payment of any kind</a> toward any travel arrangements on your trip to have the “<a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/how-travel-insurance-pre-existing-medical-conditions-coverage-works/" target="_blank">Waiver of the Pre-Existing Medical Condition Exclusion</a>“.</p> 220<p>That date is called the “<a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/initial-trip-deposit-date/" target="_blank">Initial Trip Deposit Date</a>” and any payment including taxes on frequent flier tickets or giving a credit card to guarantee a reservation counts as this date.</p> 221<p>If your <a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/initial-trip-deposit-date/" target="_blank">Initial Trip Deposit Date</a> was more than 21 days ago, we have a few plans that always cover stable medical conditions of your non-traveling family member.<br /> 222…</p> 223<div align="center"> 224<hr width="30%" /> 225</div> 226<p class="to_comments"><span class="bracket">

All Travel Insurance plans require you to be able to travel on the date you buy it.</p> 258<p>Erroneously, most people think that the ability to travel only matters if you want the <a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/how-travel-insurance-pre-existing-medical-conditions-coverage-works/" target="_blank">pre-existing medical condition coverage</a>. However, the truth is that in order to be eligible to buy any travel insurance plan, you have to be able to travel on the date you buy it.</p> 259<p>Nearly everyone is able to travel, but there are situations where that’s not the case. If any of these are true today, you aren’t able to travel:</p> 260<ul> 261<li>You are in the hospital now.</li> 262<li>If you recently got out of the hospital, you likely aren’t able to travel.</li> 263<li>You have specifically been told by your doctor you can’t travel.</li> 264</ul> 265<p>So, how do you document if you are able to travel? If you’re not sure, ask your doctor. If you have a Patient Portal, it’s best to send them a message so you have a document trail.</p> 266<p>Here are screenshots from someone asking their doctor if Dave can travel today. The message was sent through the Patient Portal, so RN Jessie is who responded.</p> 267<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9473" src="https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Question.png" alt="" width="302" height="612" srcset="https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Question.png 302w, https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Question-148x300.png 148w" sizes="(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px" /></p> 268<p>And, here’s Doctor Greenberg’s response via Jessie:</p> 269<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full" src="https://tripinsurancestore.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Response.png" width="302" height="612" /></p> 270<p>If Dave were to have any claim, they now have documentation he was able to travel.</p> 271<p>Another reason to ask is if your doctor dies. I’ve seen this happen where someone’s being treated for a medical condition and after they received documentation that they were able to travel, before their trip, their doctor passed away. One of these people ended up with a large claim <strong>that was only paid because they had the documentation</strong>. Their new doctor wouldn’t certify his ability to travel because it was before knew each other.</p> 272<div align="center"> 273<hr width="30%" /> 274</div> 275<p class="to_comments"><span class="bracket">

Instead I’ll give you practical and actionable advice that helps you today.</p> 307<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Do Not take the Credit Card you use every day</strong></p> 308<p>You likely use one Credit Card for most of your transactions. While it’s a good idea to track of all your spending in one place, it’s a bad idea to take that same Credit Card with you when you travel outside the USA.</p> 309<p>And, if your primary card’s compromised and cancelled, you’ll be left without access to funds and will potentially disrupt your ongoing payments and subscriptions.</p> 310<p>Instead, take two Credit Cards that are issued by a bank that you do not have any other ties to and only use them when you travel outside the USA. Use one for your transactions and have the other as a backup.</p> 311<p><strong>Why?</strong> Identity Theft, including <a title="This link goes to the FTC" href="https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-know-about-medical-identity-theft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Medical Identity Theft</a>, is real. You don’t want to unwittingly help online scammers build a detailed online profile about you as a potential victim.</p> 312<p>If your main Credit Card’s stolen, the criminals can access your <strong>Transactional History</strong> which gives them valuable financial insights that help them steal money, commit fraud or tailor specific scams just for you to deceive you more effectively.</p> 313<p><strong>Why Would Scammers Want Your Transactional History?</strong></p> 314<ul> 315<li><strong>To Identify Your Spending Patterns:</strong> They’ll see where you spend money, learn about your day to day life and what’s important to you.</li> 316<li><strong>To Steal Your Credit Card Details:</strong> If they get access to your credit card statements, they can attempt unauthorized transactions or sell the information.</li> 317<li><strong>Commit Identity Theft:</strong> Transactional history contains personal details that can be used to impersonate you or open new accounts in your name.</li> 318<li><strong>To Bypass Security Checks:</strong> Banks sometimes ask for recent transactions as a security question. If a scammer knows your history, they can pass verification steps.</li> 319<li><strong>

Get the International 24/7 Security reporting contact phone number that’s answered by a live human being along with their website. Tell them which countries you’ll be visiting and the dates you’ll be outside the USA. Also, give them your contact information.</li> 324<li>You need to have the RFID shielded sleeves for your credit cards, passports and hotel room key card.

I live in Washington. We’re planning a two-week self-directed trip to Spain. We haven’t paid any deposits, but expect to do so soon. I’
361m told we have to have two insurance policies. That would double the premium. Our total trip costs are about $18,000. I’m 68, she’s 66. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you! I like your website and I hope to do business with you. Thanks, Stephen</p></blockquote> 362<p>> I’m told we have to have two insurance policies.</p> 363<p>This is correct because you have different mailing addresses. However, you are still Traveling Companions because you are taking the same trip. Here’s more information about this: <a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/your-family-member-or-traveling-companion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://tripinsurancestore.com/your-family-member-or-traveling-companion/</a></p> 364<p>> That would double the premium.</p> 365<p>No, the premium wouldn’t double because it’s likely your trip costs will be split between the two of you. You might have some differences in airfare, but I expect most of the other trip costs are the same for each of you.</p> 366<p>Look at this page to learn what are your insurable prepaid trip costs: <a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/what-is-your-trip-cost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://tripinsurancestore.com/what-is-your-trip-cost/</a></p> 367<p>And, here are two items to be aware of as you plan your trip:</p> 368<ol> 369<li>If any of your trip costs are being paid with Future Travel Credits including airline E-Credits that you received instead of a cash refund on a trip that was cancelled or interrupted, this will change your <a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/initial-trip-deposit-date/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Initial Trip Deposit Date</a> and potentially affect both the Pre-Existing Medical Condition and Cancel For Any Reason coverages.</li> 370<li>The <a href="https://tripinsurancestore.com/how-travel-insurance-pre-existing-medical-conditions-coverage-works/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pre-Existing Medical Condition Coverage</a> includes anything that your non-traveling family members have that could worsen and, in turn, cause you to cancel or interrupt your trip.</li> 371</ol> 372<div align="center"> 373<hr width="30%" /> 374</div> 375<p class="to_comments"><span class="bracket">{</span> Comments on this entry are closed <span class="bracket">}</span></p> 376<p>I hope this makes sense.
