Coverages to look for when buying pregnancy travel insurance

The three main types of benefits we recommend for pregnant travelers are:

1. Emergency medical & medevac coverage
2. Cancellation and interruption coverage
3. Optional CFAR coverage.

However, at a minimum, pregnant women should ensure they have health coverage in place regardless of the destination. Ensuring you can receive proper health care if pregnancy complications arise during a trip is paramount.

Emergency medical & medevac insurance

All travelers can benefit from travel medical insurance, but this is especially true for pregnant women who are at a higher risk for injury and illnesses that may require hospitalization.

Many medical travel insurance plans will cover pregnancy complications that arise during a trip, including ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, preeclampsia, and more. Since pregnancy increases your risk of developing health issues, we recommend looking for travel insurance that has limits above $250k for emergency medical treatment.

Being able to reach suitable medical care is of the utmost importance during a pregnancy. Medical evacuation coverage can pay for ambulance rides as well as helicopter transport to the nearest suitable medical facility, or even plane transportation back to your home country if deemed medically necessary. We recommend opting for limits of $500k and up.

Trip cancellation & interruption insurance

Your travel medical coverage usually allows for cancellation due to pregnancy complications. However, you may need additional coverage such as trip interruption coverage once your trip has started.

With trip cancellation coverage, most travel insurance providers will reimburse you for up to 100% of your nonrefundable trip costs if you cancel before your trip starts due to a reason covered by your policy. If your trip has already started, trip interruption coverage can kick in to provide financial support if you need to change your itinerary, or cut your trip short to return home. You can be reimbursed for up to 150% of your total travel costs. This can come in handy if a pregnancy-related complication occurs while traveling.

If you already knew you were pregnant before purchasing insurance then this is usually not a valid reason for cancelling your trip. However, pregnancy may be a valid reason if you find out after you’ve booked, for example, a Christmas trip to Mexico and paid for an insurance policy.

Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage

If you’re worried about pregnancy complicating your ability to cancel a trip and get a refund, you may want to purchase “cancel for any reason” or CFAR travel insurance. This coverage lets you call off your trip for any reason and receive 50% to 80% of your prepaid trip cost back.

Now imagine you planned a trip to Mexico or France during pregnancy on purpose, but your healthcare provider becomes worried about blood clots and advises you not to travel. In this case, there are no active medical conditions preventing you from traveling, so your plan may not provide coverage at all. However, with a CFAR plan, you can cancel and still be refunded for the majority of your trip cost.

Other coverage that is good to have

While these may not be specific to pregnant people, they are great coveragesto have, so we recommend looking for then when you buy.

Insurance for lost or delayed baggage

Pregnant travelers may be more comfortable with coverage for lost or delayed baggage which can help replace luggage and personal belongings lost by a common carrier (i.e. airline). Baggage delay insurance can also pay for incidental expenses that pop up when bags are delayed for a certain length of time (usually 6 to 12 hours) depending on the policy.

For example, if your baggage is held up for an extended period on a trip to Japan, you could be reimbursed for maternity clothing and toiletries you need during that time.

Trip delay & missed connection coverage

Trip delay coverage can pay for incidental expenses that result when a trip is delayed for reasons beyond the traveler’s control, including meals, hotel stays, and more. Missed connection coverage can help reimburse you for things like cruises and tours if you miss your connection while traveling.

Which pregnancy complications does travel insurance cover?

Common examples of pregnancy-related issues that travel insurance covers include:

• Hyperemesis gravidarum
• Preeclampsia & eclampsia
• Gestational diabetes
• Gestational hypertension
• Acute nephritis & nephrosis
• Cardiac decompensation
• Missed abortions (miscarriage)

Most plans will also cover non-elective cesarean sections, ectopic pregnancies which are terminated, and spontaneous termination of pregnancy which occurs during a period of gestation in which a viable birth is not possible.

All of the plans we mention above cover complications to pregnancies.

That said, each plan and provider is different, so ensure you review the policy information for mentions of pregnancy before you buy to understand exactly what is covered and excluded.

What is not covered by pregnancy travel insurance?

While pregnancy complications are covered by most travel insurance plans, any conditions related to managing a difficult pregnancy are not covered. That’s because travel insurance is built to cover emergencies and not routine healthcare.

It’s also important to note that some travel insurance policies may have exclusions or limitations related to pregnancy as a pre-existing condition.

Examples of normal pregnancy-related scenarios not covered by travel insurance include:

• Birth and labor
• False labor
• Occasional spotting
• Morning sickness
• Physician prescribed rest during pregnancy
• Elective abortions
• Routine prenatal care

Childbirth

Childbirth without complications is not covered through travel insurance. The only scenario where childbirth could be covered is if the mother winds up with complications that arise during delivery. In that case, emergency medical expenses could be covered by a plan.

Disinclination to travel

Disinclination to travel due to pregnancy is not covered by any travel insurance except Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) insurance.

False labor

False labor is not typically covered through travel insurance, but pregnancy complications causing or resulting from false labor could be.

Physician-prescribed bed rest

If a physician prescribes bed rest during a trip, this is not covered through a traditional travel insurance plan. However, emergency medical evacuation coverage could apply if evacuation to your home country is deemed medically necessary.

Routine prenatal care

Also, note that typical prenatal care is not covered by travel insurance. This includes general medical care you might receive if you wind up experiencing morning sickness or spotting, as well as check-ups.

Airline rules for flying while pregnant

We already mentioned how commercial air carriers have their own rules regarding pregnant travelers.

However, you should know that most of their policies set limits on pregnant travel during the third trimester only, which wouldn’t impact travelers who are in their first trimester or taking a trip during their 24th week.

Here are some airline policies for pregnancy from several major air carriers:

• American Airlines: American Airlines allows pregnant women to travel during their third trimester, although those who plan to travel within four weeks of their due date must provide a doctor’s certificate that shows they are fit to travel.
• Delta Air Lines: Delta Air Lines does not impose any travel restrictions on pregnant travelers, nor do they require a doctor’s note or certificate.
• Southwest Airlines: Southwest Airlines does not impose any specific conditions or restrictions for pregnant people who want to fly, but they advise against flying after the 38th week of pregnancy. The airline also recommends consulting a physician before flying.
• United Airlines: United Airlines requires a physician’s certificate, including an original and two copies, for pregnant travelers who want to fly after their 36th week of pregnancy. The certificate must also be dated within 72 hours of the planned departure time for the flight.
• JetBlue: JetBlue does not allow travelers to fly within seven days of their due date without a physician’s note saying they are fit to travel. The note must be dated within 72 hours of the planned departure time for the flight.

What if I get pregnant after buying travel insurance?

If you become pregnant after purchasing a travel insurance policy, you should review your policy’s terms and conditions to determine what coverage you may have. It’s important to review your policy carefully and contact your travel insurance provider as soon as possible if you have any questions or concerns about your coverage. They can help you understand your policy’s coverage and options, and may be able to provide assistance.

Getting pregnant after you buy travel insurance is very common, especially since many people book airfare and hotels up to one year out.

If you are planning a trip but believe you might become pregnant before the travel date, it’s smart to keep that in mind as you figure out the exact dates for your vacation.

Things to consider when traveling while pregnant

If you’re planning on traveling while pregnant, you should consider the following as you plan your vacation.

General risks

According to Johns Hopkins, it is generally advised not to travel after 36 weeks of pregnancy for domestic trips, and after the 28th week of pregnancy for international travel. The CDC also advises against traveling while pregnant to countries that require pre-travel vaccination. TheAmerican College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists notes that most common pregnancy emergencies usually happen in the first and third trimesters

If you have a history of any of the following conditions or complications, it may also be best to wait until after childbirth to travel:

• History of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, premature labor, or current placental abnormalities
• Incompetent cervix
• Multiple fetuses in current pregnancy or history of multiple pregnancies
• History of toxemia, high blood pressure, or diabetes during pregnancy
• History of infertility or trouble getting pregnant
• Pregnancy for the first time beyond the age of 35
• Heart problems
• History of blood clots
• Severe anemia

Destination-specific travel risks

You may also be advised against traveling to destinations with specific risks, and you should do some research of what potential risks are before you book a trip.

For example, you may not want to travel while pregnant to:

• Destinations at a high altitude
• Places that have outbreaks of life-threatening food- or insect-borne infections
• Destinations where malaria or Zika virus are common
• Destinations where you’re recommended to have a live virus vaccine before travel
• Destinations where medical care for pregnancy or delivery may be inadequate
• Places with high levels of COVID-19*

*If planning to travel to a location with high levels of COVID-19, ensure you opt for a travel insurance plan that covers COVID as any other illness.

Best types of travel for pregnancy

Consider which types of travel may actually be enjoyable while you’re pregnant, and whether you’re better off just staying home and planning a future trip instead. Where a relaxing beach vacation could be excellent for pregnant mothers, high-stress trips or travel with lots of physical activity, such as a trip to celebrate Carnival in Brazil, may not be worth it.

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the best time to travel is mid-pregnancy (14 to 28 weeks). The ACOG always recommends speaking with your healthcare professional about travel during pregnancy and keeping your comfort and safety in mind as you make travel plans.

Flying while pregnant

The ACOG says that occasional air travel during a normal pregnancy not considered high-risk is typically safe. However, the organization says you should avoid flying if “you have a medical or pregnancy condition that may be made worse by flying or could require emergency medical care.”

To make air travel as comfortable as possible, the ACOG recommends the following:

• Book an aisle seat whenever possible.
• Avoid drinking carbonated drinks during your flight and drink bottled water instead.
• Wear your seatbelt on the plane to protect yourself and your unborn baby.
• Get up and walk around a few times during your flight.

Buying cancel for any reason (CFAR) coverage

CFAR insurance is the best type of insurance to get when you are pregnant. Purchasing “cancel for any reason” coverage from your insurance company can provide considerable peace of mind as it lets you cancel your trip for any reason at all and get part (usually 50% to 80%) of your pre-paid trip cost back. It’s typically sold as an add-on, so you can get medical coverage as well.

It’s also important to note that this coverage can reimburse you regardless of whether you have a pregnancy complication. So, you can use it to cancel your trip and get reimbursem*nt even if you just decide to stay home. However, this is the most expensive type of travel insurance. Therefore, additional premiums will apply if you want to add CFAR coverage to your travel insurance plan.
