Contact your insurer to see if you are covered when traveling overseas. Sometimes you can get a waiver, if you have a pre-existing condition. The waiver requires that you are well enough to travel when you buy your policy and you purchase your insurance soon after your first payment typically within 10-21 days, says Julie Loffredi (www.insuremytrip.com).
An emergency such as a broken leg that prevents you from traveling, should be covered by trip cancellation insurance. However,You will need to buy insurance to cover 100% of the cost for your trip. Bon Voyage!
