If you are visiting Georgia as a tourist, it is important to arrange health insurance in advance to feel protected during your trip. Tourist plans are usually short-term (from a few days to several months) and cover emergency care, hospitalization, and sometimes outpatient treatment.
What to Consider When Choosing Insurance
- Policy duration – make sure the coverage is valid for your entire stay.
- Type of coverage – minimum tourist coverage usually includes emergency medical care, hospitalization, and repatriation.
- Cost and deductible – compare different offers to find the best price-to-coverage ratio.
- Additional options – dental care, treatment of chronic conditions, sports, and extreme activities.
