Travel Insurance and Travel Vaccinations – Best Friends or Casual Acquaintances?

Just as with travel insurance, if you can’t afford the cost of travel vaccinations, the conventional wisdom is that you can’t afford to go overseas. Australia is quite a lucky country in disease terms. We have little in the way of hepatitis, typhoid fever, and mosquito borne disease like malaria. Overseas these diseases are rife, and can affect you for the chanel purses handbags rest of your life. If you are planning to travel overseas, here we look at the interaction between your travel insurance and travel vaccinations.

If you aren’t vaccinated, your travel insurance may not cover some emergenciesIf you fail to get recommended travel vaccinations before you go overseas, your travel insurance company will sometimes determine that you are engaging in risky behaviour. If any medical emergencies arise out of your failure to be vaccinated, the costs will sometimes need to be covered out of your own pocket.

Travel insurance and health insurance work togetherTravel vaccinations are expensive, and not every traveller believes that they need every vaccination. Travel doctors will always err on the side of caution and recommend that you get every vaccination that is applicable to your region of travel, but many choose only to get essential vaccinations or go on hearsay that some are not really necessary. Something that you definitely need to consider, though, is that chanel 2.55 quilted handbags if you DO happen to contract a disease for which you aren’t coco chanel handbags vaccinated your travel insurance may cover you while you are overseas. However if you are quite ill, you will no doubt want to return home as soon as possible … where you will be liable for all of your medical expenses, as well as time lost at work due to illness. This is where travel insurance and health insurance work together. Remember though that travel vaccinations are a relatively inexpensive and painless way to ‘insure’ yourself!

Travel insurance doesn’t cover vaccinationsYour travel insurance won’t usually cover the cost of preventative medicine, like getting vaccinations. If you choose to get the vaccinations at home, however, your health insurance provider might.

Needles need timeWhile some travel vaccinations take effect immediately, to build resistance to some diseases it can be necessary to have several shots over a period of time. This will be important for people looking at the cost of vaccinations in Thailand, South Africa, Chile or Hungary, and cursing the fact that Western medicine is so expensive! You can get some travel vaccinations overseas, but some (like hepatitis) you will need to plan for a while before you go.

Recommended travel vaccinationsThe following list of travel vaccinations breaks down your shots by the common essential vaccinations, strongly recommended vaccinations for most world travel, and some that are less strongly recommended, but still an excellent precaution:

* Essential: Yellow fever for parts of Africa and South America * Essential: Meningitis for Saudi Arabia at the time of the Haj * Strongly recommended: Hepatitis A & B for most parts of the world * Strongly recommended: Tetanus/diphtheria, worldwide * Strongly recommended: Malaria, worldwide * Strongly recommended: Japanese Encephalitis is mountainous or jungle areas * Strongly recommended: Typhoid, all developing countries * Recommended for some areas: Rabies * Recommended for some areas: Cholera

How Safe Is Your Bank?

As the list of failed banks continues to grow, you might be wondering how safe your funds are at your local bank. With over seventy failures this year, how do you know if your bank will be next?

The best thing you can do is make sure your bank is covered by FDIC insurance (it probably is). Never put your savings into a bank that isn't covered by FDIC insurance. FDIC insurance protects your deposits up to $250,000 per depositor. No depositor has ever lost a penny of FDIC insured deposits. With that insurance protection, the issue of bank safety is practically irrelevant. To confirm a bank is FDIC insured, you can search for your bank using the FDIC Bank Find tool.

If, however, you are still concerned, there are two respected independent bank rating services you can use to determine the "safeness" of a bank - Bauer Financial and Bankrate.

Baeur Financial offers up a star rating and the option of paying for more detailed reports. A report can cost as little as $10 but you get their star ratings for free. The ratings go from zero stars to five stars, with three stars as "adequate." They recommend any bank with a four or five star rating. One downside of the star rating is that they don't date the scoring in the summary.

If you aren't interested in paying for a report, another option is Bankrate. Bankrate puts out Safe & Sound Star Ratings on all banks, thrifts, and credit unions. The ratings go from Not Rated (NR) all the way to 5 stars (Superior), with the average set at 3 stars (Performing).

Let's take a look at Ally Bank's memorandum in which they were given a 4 star rating as of December 31st, 2009. The important things to review are the various highlights such as asset quality, capital, and liquidity. Under asset quality, which Bankrate considers a "major determinant of the viability of any banking institution," the Nonperforming Asset Ratio of 3.91% is "relatively low" for Ally Bank's peer group.

If you see something in a report that troubles you, remember that you are covered by FDIC insurance. You may not want to open an account a bank that seems troubled, but shifting your funds around isn't going to make the situation better. In most cases of a bank failure, the bank is seized on a Friday and open for business the following Monday
