Indian International Travellers with Adequate Medical Cover Abroad
24×7
Emergency Assistance - The Most Important Feature, Often Ignored
India now sends over 2.7 crore outbound tourists a year. The vast majority travel without adequate insurance - or with a bare-minimum policy bought purely to satisfy a Schengen visa officer, with ₹15 lakh cover that would barely cover a 3-day hospitalisation in Germany. The problem is not awareness; every traveller knows travel insurance exists. The problem is understanding - what it actually covers, what sub-limits quietly apply, and what the 5-line exclusions clause on page 8 of the policy document actually means in practice. This guide bridges that gap, comprehensively.

Types of Travel Insurance: What Plan Is Right for Your Trip?

types of travel insurance Indiasingle trip vs annual multi-tripinternational vs domestic travel insurancegroup travel insurance India

Travel insurance in India is sold across several dimensions - by destination type, trip frequency, group size, and traveller profile. Buying the wrong category for your trip is the most common and most expensive mistake. Here is the complete breakdown of every travel insurance type available in India and exactly when to use each one.

Plan TypeWhat It CoversBest ForTypical Premium RangeVerdict
Individual International - Single TripOne journey outside India, typically 1–180 days. Medical, evacuation, trip cancellation, baggage, PA.Travellers making 1–2 international trips per year₹400 – ₹3,500 depending on destination & durationBest for infrequent travellers; buy fresh for each trip
Annual Multi-Trip (AMT)Unlimited trips in 12 months; each individual trip capped at 30, 45, or 60 days per departure.Frequent travellers making 3+ international trips/year - business travellers, NRIs visiting family₹4,000 – ₹9,500/year (worldwide)Cheaper than 3 single-trip policies; no re-buying per trip
Family Floater Travel PlanCovers 2 adults + up to 4 children under one policy, travelling together.Families travelling together on holiday or for ceremonies abroad₹1,200 – ₹5,000 for a family of 415–25% cheaper than buying individual policies for each member
Senior Citizen Travel InsuranceSame coverage as standard international plans, but specifically underwritten for travellers aged 60–85. Higher medical sub-limits.Parents or grandparents travelling abroad; parents visiting children on work visas₹3,500 – ₹18,000 (age and duration dependent)Essential; standard plans often reject claims for travellers over 70
Student Travel InsuranceDesigned for Indian students studying abroad for 6–24 months. Includes medical, sponsor protection, study interruption, and bail bond cover.Students on F1, student visa UK, Australian student visa, or similar₹12,000 – ₹35,000/yearMandatory for many universities; covers semester-length stays
Domestic Travel InsuranceCovers travel within India - accidental hospitalisation, flight delays, baggage loss, personal accident. No overseas medical component.Frequent domestic flyers; travellers to remote areas (Northeast, Ladakh, Andamans)₹100 – ₹500/tripInexpensive and underused; the medical component has real value for remote destinations
Group Travel InsuranceCorporate or tour-group policies covering 10+ individuals travelling together.Corporate offsites, MICE travel, tour groups, pilgrimage groups10–20% cheaper per head than individual policiesCost-effective; requires all travellers on same itinerary
The Annual Multi-Trip Break-Even Calculation
If you make 3 or more international trips in a year - even short ones - do the maths before buying single-trip policies each time. A worldwide AMT policy costs approximately ₹5,000–₹8,000/year. A single-trip Europe policy (7 days) costs ₹800–₹1,500. Three such trips = ₹2,400–₹4,500 - so AMT breaks even at 4–5 trips. But the AMT also eliminates the cognitive overhead of remembering to buy insurance before every trip, which has real value for frequent travellers who may otherwise skip it. Buy AMT if you travel internationally more than twice a year.

What Travel Insurance Covers - and What It Doesn't

what does travel insurance cover Indiatravel insurance exclusionsmedical evacuation travel insurancetrip cancellation cover India

Most travel insurance confusion stems from a blurry understanding of what's actually in a standard policy versus what's an add-on versus what's categorically excluded. Here is a precise, jargon-free breakdown of every major coverage component in a comprehensive international travel insurance plan sold in India.

Anatomy of a Comprehensive International Travel Insurance Policy

A full-coverage international policy has eight distinct coverage components - each with its own sum insured, sub-limits, and claim conditions.

Cover 1
Emergency Medical Expenses

Hospitalisation, doctor fees, diagnostics, ambulance, and pharmacy costs abroad due to sudden illness or accident. The core and most financially critical cover. Sum insured: USD 50K – USD 500K depending on plan.

Cover 2
Emergency Medical Evacuation

Cost of emergency air ambulance or medical repatriation to India (or nearest adequate facility) when local treatment is inadequate. Evacuation flights can cost USD 30,000–80,000 alone - often more than the hospitalisation.

Cover 3
Trip Cancellation & Interruption

Reimburses pre-paid, non-refundable travel and hotel costs if you cancel or cut short your trip due to covered events: serious illness/death of insured or immediate family, natural disaster, jury duty, or terrorism at destination.

Cover 4
Baggage Loss, Damage & Delay

Covers checked baggage permanently lost, damaged, or stolen. Baggage delay cover pays for emergency purchases (clothing, toiletries) if baggage is delayed beyond a defined period (typically 12–24 hours). Sub-limits per item apply.

Cover 5
Accidental Death & Permanent Disability

Lump-sum payout to nominee in case of accidental death during the trip, or to the insured in case of permanent total disability caused by an accident abroad. Typically ₹10L–₹50L depending on plan.

Cover 6
Flight Delay & Missed Connection

Pays a per-diem allowance for meals, accommodation, and essential purchases if your flight is delayed beyond a threshold (typically 6–12 hours) or if you miss a connection due to the carrier's fault. Amount and trigger threshold vary by plan.

Cover 7
Personal Liability

Covers legal liability arising from accidental bodily injury to a third party or accidental damage to third-party property during your trip. Critical in countries with litigious cultures (USA, UK, Germany) where even minor incidents can generate large claims against you.

Cover 8
Loss of Passport & Documents

Covers the cost of obtaining an emergency travel document or replacement passport if lost or stolen abroad. Also covers associated visa re-application fees and emergency hotel stay while documents are being replaced.

Equally important - and arguably more important for smart policy selection - is understanding the standard exclusions that appear in virtually every travel insurance policy in India. These are the clauses that cause rejected claims.

  • Pre-existing medical conditions (PED): Any illness, disease, or condition for which you received treatment or medical advice in the 2–4 years before departure is typically excluded. A diabetic who suffers a hyperglycaemic episode abroad cannot claim without a PED rider. Always declare and cover pre-existing conditions.
  • Adventure and high-risk sports: Skiing, scuba diving, bungee jumping, paragliding, trekking above 3,500m, motorbiking - standard policies exclude injuries sustained in any of these without an adventure sports add-on. This catches travellers visiting Manali, Ladakh, and skiing in Europe completely off-guard.
  • Intoxication-related incidents: Any accident or injury occurring while the insured is under the influence of alcohol or drugs is universally excluded. Claims arising from alcohol-related falls, road accidents while intoxicated, or substance-related health events will be rejected.
  • Travel to sanctioned or war-risk destinations: Countries under the Indian government's travel advisory (MEA advisory level 4 - "do not travel") are typically excluded from coverage. Active war zones, conflict regions, and OFAC-sanctioned territories are also excluded.
  • Self-inflicted injury and suicide: Injuries deliberately self-inflicted, regardless of mental health context, are excluded from all travel insurance claims globally.
  • Routine, elective, or non-emergency medical treatment: Dental treatment not caused by a sudden accident, elective procedures, fertility treatment, cosmetic surgery, and routine health check-ups are excluded. The cover is for emergencies only.
  • Travel booked after a known event: If you book travel after a hurricane has been named and forecast to hit your destination, or after a political event triggering unrest has already been reported, the resulting cancellation or interruption is not covered.
  • Pregnancy-related claims beyond 28 weeks: Most standard policies exclude pregnancy complications beyond 28 weeks of gestation. Travel during late pregnancy is high-risk and typically not covered.
The Sub-Limit Trap: Why Your "₹50 Lakh Cover" May Only Pay ₹5 Lakh
The headline medical cover amount (e.g., USD 100,000) is the maximum aggregate limit - but most policies have internal sub-limits for specific treatments. For example: hospitalisation per day: ₹15,000; ICU per day: ₹25,000; single surgical event: ₹5 lakh; emergency dental: ₹10,000. If your daily ICU cost in a US hospital is USD 3,000 (₹2.5 lakh/day) and your policy's ICU sub-limit is ₹25,000/day, you're personally paying ₹2.25 lakh per day regardless of the headline cover. Always check sub-limits, not just the total sum insured, when comparing travel insurance plans.

Schengen Visa Insurance: Exact Requirements and How to Comply

Schengen visa travel insurance Indiatravel insurance for Schengen visa€30000 medical cover SchengenSchengen compliant insurance India

The Schengen Area - covering 27 European countries including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands - has the most clearly defined travel insurance requirements of any visa in the world. Getting your Schengen insurance wrong is one of the most common and avoidable reasons Indian travellers face visa rejections or consulate delays. Here is the exact requirement and how to meet it.

🇪🇺 Schengen Travel Insurance: Mandatory Requirements

Required for C-type (short-stay) Schengen visas. Must be presented with your visa application at the consulate/VFS.

Minimum Medical Cover

€30,000 (approx. ₹27 lakh) for emergency medical and repatriation expenses.

Geographic Validity

Must be valid across all 27 Schengen member states - not just the country of entry.

Duration Coverage

Must cover the entire intended stay, including your travel dates on either side. A 15-day trip needs minimum 15-day cover.

Repatriation Cover

Must explicitly include medical evacuation and repatriation of mortal remains - verify this is stated in the policy certificate.

Embassy Documentation

Submit the original insurance certificate (not the policy schedule) stating Schengen compliance, your name, travel dates, and sum insured clearly.

Insurer Recognition

Must be from an IRDAI-licensed Indian insurer. EU-based insurers or credit card travel cover are usually not accepted at Indian consulates.

The €30,000 Schengen Minimum Is Dangerously Low for the EU
€30,000 is the legal minimum for visa compliance - not a recommended coverage level. A 3-day hospitalisation in Germany or France can cost €15,000–€25,000. An emergency appendectomy in Switzerland can cost €40,000–€60,000. A medical evacuation flight back to India from Europe is €20,000–€40,000 alone. For actual financial protection while in Europe, you need USD 100,000–USD 250,000 in medical cover (approximately ₹85L–₹2.1Cr). The premium difference between a €30,000 policy and a USD 100,000 policy for a 10-day Europe trip is approximately ₹300–₹600. Always buy more than the visa minimum.
Country / Visa TypeInsurance Mandatory?Minimum Cover RequiredNotes
Schengen Area (26 countries)✔ Mandatory€30,000 medical + repatriationRequired at visa application stage. All 27 Schengen states must be covered.
USANot mandatory (B1/B2)-Not required but USD 500,000+ recommended. US healthcare is among the world's most expensive. One ER visit can exceed USD 15,000.
UKNot mandatory-NHS available for visitors but not all treatments covered. Travel insurance strongly advisable for private care access and repatriation cover.
Cuba✔ MandatoryVaries; approx. USD 25,000Cuban authorities require proof of valid travel insurance at immigration. Travellers without it may be denied entry.
UAE / DubaiRecommended-Not mandated for tourist visa but healthcare costs are high. Indian travel insurance is valid and widely honoured by UAE hospitals in the cashless network.
Southeast Asia (Thailand, Bali, Vietnam)Not mandatory-Healthcare is relatively affordable but evacuation costs remain high. Recommended for adventure travellers and anyone visiting remote areas.

Add-On Covers: Filling the Gaps in Your Base Policy

adventure sports travel insurancepre-existing disease travel insurancecancel for any reason travel insurance Indiahome burglary travel insurance add-on

A standard comprehensive travel insurance policy is an excellent foundation - but it leaves specific, predictable gaps for travellers with medical histories, adventure itineraries, or complex financial exposure. These add-ons close those gaps precisely. Here is every significant travel insurance add-on available in India, who needs it, and what it actually costs.

Pre-Existing Disease (PED) Cover

Extends medical coverage to declared pre-existing conditions - diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, asthma, thyroid, etc. Without this, any hospitalisation connected to a known condition is rejected. Subject to declaration and insurer underwriting. Some plans have a 48–72 hour exclusion for PED claims.

Essential - Any Chronic Condition

Adventure Sports Cover

Covers medical expenses arising from participation in defined adventure activities - skiing, snowboarding, scuba diving, bungee jumping, paragliding, white-water rafting, trekking above 3,500m. Standard policies categorically exclude injuries from all of these. Critical for Goa-to-Himalayas, Bali, Swiss Alps, or Queenstown travellers.

Essential - Any Adventure Trip

Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR)

Reimburses 50–75% of non-refundable trip costs if you cancel for any reason - not just the covered reasons in standard trip cancellation. Standard trip cancellation requires documented illness, death, or disaster. CFAR pays even for changed plans, fear of travel, or work reasons. Must be bought within 14 days of first trip deposit.

High-Value for Expensive Bookings

Home Burglary Cover

Covers loss or damage to contents of your home due to burglary or attempted burglary while you are travelling abroad. Particularly relevant for extended travel (30+ days) when homes are left unattended. Typically covers electronics, jewellery, and household valuables up to a defined limit.

Useful - Extended Travel

Sponsor Protection (Student Policies)

Pays tuition fees and return airfare if the student's financial sponsor (parent/guardian) passes away or suffers a permanent disability during the student's study period, forcing the student to return to India. A critical but rarely discussed cover for students on international university programmes.

Essential - Student Policies

Hijack Distress Allowance

Pays a fixed daily allowance if your flight is hijacked and you are held captive. Typically ₹5,000–₹15,000 per day for the duration of the hijack. A low-probability, high-severity event - the premium is minimal given the scenario it addresses.

Optional - Low Cost

Enhanced Personal Liability

Increases the standard personal liability cover from ₹15–25L to ₹50L–₹1Cr. Strongly recommended for travel to the USA, UK, or Germany - where third-party injury claims are frequently pursued in courts and settlements can be very large. Base policy liability limits are often inadequate for these markets.

Recommended - US/UK/EU Travel

Trip Extension Cover

Automatically extends your policy if your return is delayed due to covered reasons - your own hospitalisation abroad, natural disasters, or flight cancellations beyond your control. Without it, your coverage lapses on the original return date, leaving you uninsured for the extension period. Critical for monsoon-season and winter travel.

How Much Coverage Do You Actually Need? A Destination Guide

travel insurance amount needed Indiatravel insurance for USA from Indiahow much medical cover for Europetravel insurance premium India 2026

The appropriate medical coverage amount for travel insurance is entirely destination-dependent. Healthcare costs vary by a factor of 20x between the cheapest (Southeast Asia) and most expensive (USA, Switzerland) destinations. Buying a USD 50,000 policy for a USA trip is dangerously inadequate. Buying USD 250,000 for a Vietnam trip is overkill. Here is a destination-by-destination guide to what you actually need - and what you'll pay for it.

DestinationCost LevelRecommended Min Medical CoverWhy This AmountApprox. 7-Day Premium (Age 30–45)
USA / CanadaVery HighUSD 500,000+ICU can cost USD 5,000–15,000/day. Emergency surgery: USD 40,000–150,000. Medevac: USD 80,000. No public healthcare safety net for tourists.₹1,800 – ₹3,500
Europe (Schengen)HighUSD 100,000 – USD 250,000€30,000 meets visa rules only. Hospitalisation in Germany or Switzerland can easily exceed €50,000. Evacuation: €20,000–40,000.₹900 – ₹2,200
UK / Australia / New ZealandHighUSD 100,000 – USD 200,000NHS/Medicare has limited visitor access. Private hospital bills are high. Medical repatriation to India from Australia is USD 30,000–60,000.₹1,000 – ₹2,400
Japan / South Korea / SingaporeMedium-HighUSD 50,000 – USD 100,000Clean, high-quality healthcare but expensive for non-nationals. Language barrier in Japan/Korea makes cashless network access critical.₹700 – ₹1,600
Thailand / Bali / Vietnam / MalaysiaMediumUSD 25,000 – USD 50,000Healthcare costs are lower, but adventure sports injuries and motorcycle accidents are common and expensive. Evacuation to Bangkok/Singapore may still be needed from remote areas.₹400 – ₹950
UAE / Middle EastMedium-HighUSD 50,000 – USD 100,000Private healthcare in Dubai is world-class but priced accordingly. An ER visit in Dubai can cost AED 5,000–15,000 (₹1.1L–₹3.4L).₹600 – ₹1,400
Domestic IndiaLow₹5 lakh – ₹10 lakhCovers hospitalisation in India for accidents during domestic travel. Remote destinations (Leh, Andamans, Northeast) add evacuation risk. Premium is negligible.₹100 – ₹500/trip

Premiums are indicative; age, health declaration, sports, and exact dates change quotes.

The Smart Coverage Formula for Any Trip
Start with the cost of a 10-day ICU stay at a private hospital in your destination country. That's your minimum medical cover requirement. Then add the estimated cost of a medical evacuation flight back to India from that destination (USD 20,000 to USD 80,000 depending on distance). Add those two numbers. That's the realistic floor for your medical sum insured - not the visa requirement, not the cheapest plan on the aggregator's first page.

How to File a Travel Insurance Claim - From Abroad

travel insurance claim process Indiahow to claim travel insurance medical emergencycashless hospitalisation abroad Indiatrip cancellation claim documents

Filing a travel insurance claim from abroad is fundamentally different from filing a domestic insurance claim - you're operating in a foreign language, a foreign medical system, and a foreign timezone, while dealing with a stressful event. The sequence in which you take actions in the first 2 hours of a medical emergency or trip disruption determines whether you get a smooth cashless settlement or a painful reimbursement battle back in India.

Medical Emergency Abroad: Cashless Hospitalisation Process

For planned or emergency hospitalisation at a hospital abroad - this is the sequence that unlocks cashless settlement.

1

Call the 24×7 International Assistance Helpline - Before Hospitalisation

Your policy document lists a dedicated international toll-free or collect-call number. This is the most important number to save before you travel. Call them at the onset of any medical situation - they will direct you to a network hospital, issue a guarantee of payment (GOP) letter to the hospital, and manage the claim in real time. Calling after the fact converts a cashless claim into a reimbursement claim.

Single Most Important Step
2

Go to an Insurer-Empanelled Network Hospital

The assistance team will confirm the nearest network hospital. Present your travel insurance card (or the policy PDF) and the GOP letter at the hospital's admission desk. Network hospitals bill the insurer directly - you pay nothing beyond any applicable deductible.

Network Hospital Only for Cashless
3

If You Go to a Non-Network Hospital (Emergency)

In a genuine life-threatening emergency where the nearest available hospital is not a network facility, proceed immediately. Call the helpline from the ambulance or as soon as you can. Keep every receipt, report, invoice, and discharge summary. The claim will be processed as reimbursement - slower and requiring more documentation, but fully valid with proper paperwork.

Document Everything Meticulously
4

Collect Complete Medical Documentation at Discharge

Before leaving the hospital: collect the discharge summary, all diagnostic reports and lab results, attending physician's notes, itemised bill (not just the summary), all pharmacy receipts, and the hospital's stamp on every document. These are non-negotiable requirements for claim settlement - Indian insurers processing overseas claims require original-quality scans of all hospital documents.

Full Documentation = Full Settlement
5

Submit Claim Within 30 Days of Return to India

File the reimbursement claim with your insurer within 30 days of returning to India (most insurers; verify your policy's timeline). Provide: completed claim form, original bills, medical reports, boarding passes and passport copy with entry/exit stamps, and bank account details for reimbursement. Claims with missing documents are deferred, not rejected - always submit what you have and follow up with outstanding documents.

30-Day Filing Window

Trip Cancellation & Baggage Claim Process

Non-medical claims require a different documentation approach - the burden of proof is on establishing the covered reason for the loss.

1

Trip Cancellation: Intimate Insurer Before You Cancel

For a covered trip cancellation (serious illness, death of a family member, natural disaster at destination), inform your insurer before cancelling your bookings where possible. The insurer will confirm coverage, advise on the cancellation process, and tell you which documents are needed. Cancelling first and claiming later creates documentation gaps that complicate settlement.

Inform Before Cancelling Bookings
2

Trip Cancellation: Required Documents

The exact documents depend on the cancellation reason. For medical cancellation: hospital admission certificate or doctor's certificate confirming fitness to travel was not possible. For bereavement: death certificate and proof of relationship. For all cases: original booking invoices, cancellation confirmation letters from airlines and hotels, proof of non-refundable payments made, and insurance company's claim form.

Reason-Specific Documentation
3

Baggage Loss: File PIR at the Airport - Immediately

If your checked baggage is lost or delayed, file a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) with the airline at the destination airport - before leaving the baggage area. This document is mandatory for any baggage insurance claim. The PIR number is your proof that the airline acknowledged the loss. Also report lost baggage to the police if it was stolen (not airline mishandled).

PIR Must Be Filed at Airport
4

Baggage Delay: Keep All Receipts for Emergency Purchases

If your baggage is delayed beyond the policy threshold (typically 12 hours), you are entitled to a reimbursement for essential emergency purchases - clothing, toiletries, chargers. Keep every receipt. The reimbursement is typically capped at ₹5,000–₹15,000 per event. Submit the PIR, airline delay confirmation, and all purchase receipts together.

Keep All Purchase Receipts
The One Thing to Do Before Every Trip: Save Your Insurer's International Helpline
Before you board any international flight, do this: open your travel insurance policy email, find the 24×7 international assistance number, save it as a contact on your phone labelled "Travel Insurance Emergency." This number is different from the domestic customer care number and connects you to a team specifically equipped to handle medical authorisations, hospital guarantees, and emergency evacuations from abroad. Travellers who find this number only during a medical emergency lose precious hours - and sometimes their cashless cover entitlement.

Travel Insurance Myths vs. Facts

travel insurance myths Indiatravel insurance misconceptions
Myth

“My credit card gives free travel insurance - I don't need to buy a separate policy.”

Fact

Credit card travel insurance is almost always severely limited - typically offering accidental death and flight delay cover only, with medical cover capped at ₹5–10 lakh (woefully inadequate for the USA or Europe). It is not accepted at Schengen visa consulates. It rarely covers trip cancellation, baggage loss, or medical evacuation. Treat it as a small supplement, never as your primary cover - and always read the fine print on your card's benefits guide.

Myth

“I'm young and healthy - nothing will happen to me abroad. Travel insurance is for old people.”

Fact

The most expensive travel insurance claims filed by Indians abroad are not for chronic disease - they are for road accidents (motorcycle accidents in Southeast Asia and Bali are epidemic among young travellers), sports injuries (skiing, trekking), appendicitis, and accidental food poisoning requiring hospitalisation. None of these are age-related. Young travellers are, in fact, more likely to engage in the activities that generate high-cost emergency claims.

Myth

“Travel insurance is too expensive - it adds thousands to my trip cost.”

Fact

A comprehensive 7-day Southeast Asia policy with USD 50,000 medical cover costs ₹400–₹900 - less than a single airport meal. A Europe 10-day policy with USD 100,000 cover costs ₹1,000–₹2,000. These amounts represent 0.2%–1% of a typical international trip budget. The financial exposure you're covering - a potential ₹15–₹60 lakh medical bill - makes this the highest-ROI financial product a traveller can buy.

Myth

“All travel insurance policies are the same - I'll just buy the cheapest one.”

Fact

Travel insurance policies vary enormously in three critical dimensions: sub-limits per hospitalisation event (which can make a USD 100,000 headline cover effectively pay only ₹5 lakh in an ICU), the size and quality of the cashless hospital network in your destination country, and the quality of the 24×7 assistance service. A policy with a USD 50,000 cover and no sub-limits + a 10,000-hospital global network is vastly superior to a USD 200,000 cover with aggressive sub-limits and no cashless access. Never buy on headline sum insured alone.

Myth

“I can buy travel insurance after I've already left India - as long as I do it before something happens.”

Fact

Almost all Indian travel insurance policies require you to purchase the policy before departure from India. Some policies allow purchase up to 24 hours after departure in emergencies, but these are exceptions. More importantly, policies purchased after departure typically have a 24–48 hour waiting period before the medical cover activates. Buying insurance after you land abroad means you are unprotected for at least the first day - exactly when jet lag, unfamiliar environments, and the first meal out create the highest risk. Always buy before you board.

Myth

“Travel insurance for a Schengen visa just needs to show €30,000 cover - I can downgrade after the visa is issued.”

Fact

Buying a compliant Schengen policy and then cancelling it or buying a lower-cover policy after your visa is issued is visa fraud - and could result in future visa bans across the entire Schengen Area. Beyond the legal risk, it's financially reckless: if you are hospitalised in Germany on a ₹15 lakh policy, you will personally owe the remaining hospital bill - which could be ₹30–₹60 lakh or more. Buy the right coverage and keep it active for the entire trip.
