To BCN's credit
Yolanda added the re-intervention insurance to our package too. That way in case something did happen complication; I would be taken care of. That policy would have cost us $858 alone! Plus I like knowing that Quiron is a level 1 trauma hospital. They have an OR to move you to if need be.

So, are you saying you do not have to buy additional medical tourism insurance because it was covered already in the quote that you got from Dr. Clavel? What does the insurance that Yolanda added cover? Medical Tourism Insurance seems to cover additional things like if your trip gets cancelled or your baggage gets lost. I'm not sure it makes sense to buy this insurance. I'd have to look closer at all the caveats in the policy. Let me know what you decided to do please and why.

That's what I'm saying...
Medical Tourism insurance if for when you are travel out of country to have a procedure done. Regular travel/tri cancellation insurance covers medical or dental if while your on a "vacation" something happens, but not intended medical procedures. Yolanda added it into our quote. They will cover us for any complications should they arise. We took out the regular trip cancellation just in case of airline delays or something of that nature. it was only $292.
