Health Insurance
Before you leave it is important to purchase an insurance policy that will cover any hospital or other medical expenses that you might incur while you are visiting. When you present yourself to receive care or medication you must pay for it right away. A receipt will be given to you and you should in turn send it to your insurance company for a refund.
