District of Columbia travel health insurance plans are temporary health insurance plans that provide a baseline of medical services while you are out of the country. When applying for District of Columbia travel health insurance, you will be expected to submit the dates of departure and return. Approved travel health insurance plans will only provide coverage between your dates of travel.

District of Columbia travel health insurance plans will cover medical expenses relating to unexpected illness or accidental injury. Travel health insurance plans may not be used for routine medical exams, preventive care and immunizations, treatment of pre-existing conditions, drug or overdose treatments, maternity treatment or other expenses that are not considered medically necessary. To that end, travel health insurance plans should never be purchased to provide coverage for any existing medical conditions and should only be considered for unexpected medical emergencies that occur while traveling.
