Can travel insurance cover doctor-referred endoscopy and colonoscopy?

Answer provided by a licensed Insurance advisorLicensed U.S. Insurance Specialist at VisitorsCoverage
Travel Medical Insurance plans typically do not cover preventative care services, including voluntary checkups and screenings. Procedures like colonoscopies are usually considered preventative care and are not covered by travel medical insurance. These plans are designed to cover new sicknesses, injuries, or accidents that occur after the policy effective date and while the insured is outside their home country.
