Once you buy a travel insurance for your trip to the USA., it will cover and benefit you in situations such as; flight delays, loss of passport, baggage loss, medical emergencies, adventure sports, political unrests and other such mishaps.
Moreover, given the high costs of just average healthcare facilities in the USA, it’s safer to buy insurance that will cover and protect you for less than Rs 1000!
No, a travel insurance isn’t mandatory for tourists traveling to USA yet. However, given the high medical costs and just the fact that a trip to the USA is probably going to be a long one, the least you want is to be secured and safeguarded through it all.
A $50,000 USA Travel insurance plan from India for 4 days - 1 adult is starting from ₹400 only (GST extra).

A lot of people who are visiting the States for the first time, or haven’t really lived there for long need to be cautious of some common health issues such as pollen allergies in the Spring, the common pink eye and some insects and bugs you may not be aware of! Here are a few tips to keep you safe:
· Seasonal pollen allergies are pretty common in the States, especially in places such as Texas, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Oklahoma. Generally, common allergy tablets should work in case you’re infected with one. In serious cases, you may want to consult the emergency care available at all local pharmacies and clinics.
· Sometimes, a lot of people also happen to catch the pink eye while in the States, a contiguous viral infection. Unfortunately, the only way to cure this is to wait till the virus runs its course. However, eye drops may help ease the situation. In case it doesn’t get better in 3 days, you may want to consult a doctor or the emergency care available in local pharmacies and clinics.
Be wary of ticks and kissing bugs. Ticks are mostly found in humid weather conditions and especially in areas where you may find deer, while kissing bugs could be found anywhere in the States (most likely in the countryside and towns) and could cause intense rashes (usually bite around the eyes or mouth). In case of an infestation, immediately consult an emergency care at a pharmacy or clinic.

Here are some tips that will keep you safe while you tour around cities like NYC, Boston, LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle, Chicago, Washington DC and Dallas amongst many others:
