Traveling is one of the most enriching experiences, but health unforeseen events can arise anytime, anywhere. Travel medical insurance is your best ally to explore the world with complete peace of mind, protecting you from unexpected expenses and ensuring you receive the best care.
Travel Medical Insurance: Essential Coverage for Your Travels
What exactly is travel medical insurance and why is it crucial?
Travel medical insurance is a temporary assistance policy specifically designed to cover health emergencies and other unforeseen events that may arise during a trip outside your country of residence. Unlike your local health insurance, which rarely offers international coverage or only does so very limitedly, this type of insurance is designed to act as your financial and logistical support when you need it most abroad.
It is fundamental to understand this distinction. When you travel, your national health insurance is practically invalid. This means that any medical consultation, hospitalization, or emergency treatment in another country could generate an exorbitant debt for you. A common medical emergency like appendicitis in the United States can exceed $50,000 USD. Travel medical insurance is your protection against devastating financial debts, guaranteeing that your adventure does not turn into an economic nightmare.
At Baraglo, we understand the needs of LATAM travelers. We offer a simple, accessible, and robust solution so you can focus on enjoying your destination. Our plans go beyond purely medical coverage, also encompassing a wide range of traveler assistance services that include everything from lost luggage to repatriation, providing you with comprehensive travel assistance.
In summary, travel medical insurance with Baraglo is not an expense, it is an investment in your peace of mind and security, allowing you to travel with the confidence that, whatever happens, you have a team of experts ready to help you.
Main coverages of international medical insurance
The scope and quality of coverage are what truly define the value of good travel medical insurance. With Baraglo, you have access to a range of benefits designed to protect you in any situation. Here are the most important ones:
Essential Medical Coverages
- Medical expenses due to accident or illness: This is the cornerstone of any travel medical insurance. It covers medical consultations, hospitalization, surgeries, treatments, and prescribed medications due to a sudden illness or accident occurring during your trip. With Baraglo, this coverage is the pillar of your protection.
- Emergency dental care: A toothache can ruin any trip. Our plans include coverage for emergency dental treatments, such as extractions or medication to relieve acute pain.
- Prescription medications: If a doctor prescribes medication for you during your trip due to an emergency, the insurance will cover the cost of those drugs.
Key Assistance Services
- Medical and funeral repatriation: In case of a serious medical emergency that requires your transfer to your country of origin, or in the unfortunate event of death, the insurance covers the costs associated with repatriation. This is one of the most expensive coverages if you don't have insurance and one of the most emotionally valuable.
- Telemedicine (24/7 Virtual Medical Assistance): Access remote medical consultations with health professionals from the comfort of your hotel or wherever you are. With Baraglo, you have access to medical assistance in your language 24 hours a day, regardless of your time zone.
- Hotel expenses for convalescence: If after hospitalization you need a recovery period at the hotel before you can travel, some plans cover additional accommodation expenses.
Valuable Supplementary Coverages
- Assistance for lost luggage: If your luggage is lost or delayed, the insurance compensates you for the expenses of essential items.
- Assistance for lost or stolen documents: Helps you with the procedures and replacement costs for essential documents such as passports or travel tickets.
- Civil liability: Covers damages to third parties that you may unintentionally cause during your trip.
At Baraglo, we offer plans that integrate these and many other coverages, ensuring that every trip for our LATAM customers is backed by the best protection. Our plans, such as Essential Plus, for example, are designed to give you solid peace of mind against the vast majority of unforeseen events.

How to choose your ideal travel medical insurance in 3 steps
Selecting the right travel insurance plan is key to ensuring a worry-free experience. Here we guide you in three simple steps to find the perfect coverage with Baraglo:
Step 1: Consider your destination
The place you travel to is one of the most important factors. For example, if your destination is Europe, specifically the Schengen Area countries, there is a mandatory requirement: you need medical insurance with a minimum coverage of 30,000 euros (around 32,000 USD). Our Standard (USD $35K), Essential Plus (USD $50K), and Premium (USD $100K) plans not only meet but exceed this requirement, guaranteeing you smooth entry and superior protection. For Dominicans, Ecuadorians, and Bolivians, Baraglo's Schengen Visa plan is specifically designed to meet this requirement from just $2.99 USD per day. For the rest of LATAM, our Standard and higher plans meet the requirements for travel insurance for Europe and the Schengen Area.
If you travel to destinations with very high medical costs, such as the United States or Canada, we recommend opting for plans with higher coverage, such as our Essential Plus or Premium, to be completely protected.
Step 2: Evaluate the type of trip
What kind of activities will you be doing? A relaxing beach trip is not the same as a mountain trekking expedition or a semester of studies abroad. If you plan to practice adventure or extreme sports, make sure the insurance covers these types of activities. If you are traveling for business or studies, you may need additional coverage related to extended stays or electronic equipment coverage.
Baraglo's Essential Plus plan offers a solid base of coverage that adapts to a wide range of trips, while our Premium plan is designed for those seeking maximum peace of mind and flexibility in their adventures.
Step 3: Compare and Get a Quote with Baraglo

Our online quote tool allows you to enter your data and instantly get a comparison of our plans, with clear coverages and prices.
