Introduction
When traveling abroad, especially to destinations like Cuba, having reliable travel insurance is not just an option — it’s a necessity. With many choices available, discerning travelers from North America and the Caribbean are often left wondering: Which travel insurance is truly dependable?
CubaHeal sets itself apart by offering a superior, traveler-centric insurance service that combines comprehensive coverage, logistical support, and seamless claims handling — all tailored to meet the unique needs of those visiting Cuba.
In this guide, we explain why CubaHeal-facilitated travel insurance is the preferred choice compared to conventional international travel insurance policies.
1. Immediate Medical Care Without Out-of-Pocket Expenses
One of CubaHeal’s most critical advantages is that travelers insured through its platform do not have to pay medical expenses upfront.
Unlike traditional international travel insurance providers, which require travelers to:
- Pay hospital or clinic fees upfront
- Submit documentation
- Wait weeks (or months) for reimbursement
CubaHeal-facilitated policies eliminate out-of-pocket costs at the point of emergency care. Travelers receive immediate treatment without the financial burden or bureaucratic stress.
This key difference ensures faster access to medical services — vital in critical situations where every minute counts.
2. Direct Collaboration With ASISTUR and Cuban Healthcare Providers
CubaHeal works directly with ASISTUR, Cuba’s official medical assistance company. This direct relationship ensures:
- Streamlined communication
- Priority treatment at the best hospitals
Many international insurers lack such localized relationships, causing travelers to face longer wait times andcomplicated authorization processes during emergencies.
3. 24/7 Personalized Field Support — Unique to CubaHeal
Unlike conventional policies that leave travelers on their own to navigate a foreign medical system, CubaHeal offers 24/7 field support through dedicated staff stationed in Cuba.
This exclusive service includes:
- Arranging ambulances or private transportation (at a reasonable cost)
- Arranging treatments at appropriate hospitals
- Acting as a translator between patients and medical teams
- Coordinating medical logistics and follow-up care
- Communicating with the traveler’s family abroad if necessary
No other travel insurance facilitator currently offers this level of hands-on, on-the-ground assistance for travelers in Cuba.
4. Special Coverage for Travelers Over 69 and Adventure Seekers
CubaHeal accommodates travelers over 69 years of age and those engaging in extreme sports — two categories often excluded or heavily surcharged by mainstream insurers.
Key points:
- Modest, clearly disclosed additional premium for high-risk groups
- No hidden fees
- Seamless access to emergency services regardless of age or activity
Travelers no longer need to worry about being disqualified or under-covered due to their age or adventurous spirit.
5. Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Costs
Many traditional insurers offer attractive upfront premiums but embed:
- High deductibles
- Co-payments
- Limitations that travelers only discover when making a claim
CubaHeal’s travel insurance policies are transparent:
- Clear daily premium rates
- No deductibles for emergency medical care
- No unexpected costs buried in fine print
Travelers know exactly what they are paying for and what they are entitled to — before they even board their flight.
6. Comprehensive Coverage Limits Tailored for Cuba
CubaHeal-facilitated policies provide up to $25,000 USD in emergency medical coverage — ample for Cuba’s healthcare costs and typically exceeding what basic travel insurance plans offer for the region.
Coverage includes:
- Emergency room visits
- Surgeries
- Specialist consultations
- Hospitalization
- Ambulance services
- Repatriation if medically necessary
All designed specifically for travelers to Cuba’s medical infrastructure and needs.
7. Compliance With Cuban Government Entry Requirements
Cuba requires mandatory proof of valid travel medical insurance upon entry.
CubaHeal’s facilitated insurance:
- Fully complies with Cuban regulations
- Is recognized by Cuban immigration and hospitals
- Minimizes risk of entry issues or treatment refusal
