Are prescription drugs covered by travel insurance at pharmacy? Do pharmacies use direct billing or up front payments?

Answer provided by a licensed Insurance advisorLicensed U.S. Insurance Specialist at VisitorsCoverage
Travel insurance can cover medication that is prescribed by a physician to treat a covered medical condition. You can visit any pharmacy for prescriptions, but pharmacies do not offer direct billing for travel insurance policies. This means you will pay for your medication upfront and file a claim for reimbursement. Be sure to keep all receipts for your claim.
