Finding the right health insurance to cover my medical treatments outside of the USA is proving much harder than I had first imagined.
Medical tourists tend to pay out of pocket. Most travel insurance plans are designed to cover emergency and urgent care only, not elective procedures for pre-existing conditions.
Generally, it is not in the financial interest of insurance companies to have individuals pay for two months of premium coverage outside the United States so they can receive as many treatments as possible during this time frame. For this to be profitable, the monthly premiums would need to be exceedingly expensive.
