Short-term mission trip insurance is a must for anyone planning on going on a short-term mission trip overseas. Your current health insurance plan most likely will not cover you once you leave the country. Unfortunately, accidents happen on short-term mission trips, and it is very important that you or your loved one be able to get the best possible treatment in a clean facility. See below for benefits and plan options.
