Travel insurance
Because of the high cost of health care, international travelers should take out comprehensive travel insurance before they leave home. If you have a choice between lower or higher medical expense options, take the higher one for visiting the USA.
Bring any medications you may need in their original containers, clearly labeled. A signed, dated letter from your physician that describes all medical conditions and medications, including generic names, is also a good idea.
If your health insurance does not cover you for medical expenses abroad, consider supplemental insurance. Find out in advance if your insurance plan will make payments directly to providers or reimburse you later for overseas health expenditures.
