Important Information

Everyone need to purchase this.  The cost is $18.  You may do this starting on 2/15.

Effective February 15 Belize will be requiring a travel insurance policy for purchase. This policy will cost $18 per person and can be purchased online at https://www.belizetravelinsurance.com/.

 

I have included some of the details of the policy below. This comes from the Belize Tourism Board and you can find more information on that site. To summarize, this policy will cover the necessary expenses in the event of quarantine due to a positive Covid test.

 

PPM is recommending all team members sign up for this policy 1 week or more before their trip departure date.

 

• The Belize Travel Insurance policy covers visitors for medical emergencies up to the Maximum policy limit of US $50,000.00 for the low cost of US $18 for a period of 21days.

• It will also cover the cost of emergency treatment, diagnostic services, outpatient care, medical equipment, hospital stay, in-hospital miscellaneous charges, emergency room, emergency surgery, emergency transportation by local ambulance, prescription drugs all at 100% of eligible expenses, up to the policy limit

• The lodging expenses due to Sanitary Isolation because of the Pandemic (Covid 19) up to US$2,000.00 (Max US $300.00 per day).

• This policy will also cover Reimbursement of Hotel Expenses due to inability to travel. It covers some pre-paid lodging expenses if insured is unable to travel to Belize due to: Sickness, injury, or death of the insured or a family member once legitimate proof is provided.

* To be eligible for this benefit, the insured must have purchased this policy before the date of trip/arrival to Belize. Coverage will only reimburse hotel fees that are not refunded by the hotel. It does not cover fees paid to private rental properties (for example Airbnb).

The maximum amount reimbursable under this benefit is US $3,000 per person.

• This policy will also provide cover for Emergency Assistance Services which include, Emergency air evacuation and transportation of a close relative up to a combined maximum of US $20,000.00, and repatriation of mortal remains up to US$5,000.00 and also covers for Emergency expenses related to pre-existing conditions up to a combined maximum limit of US$25,000.00

Please let me know if you have any questions. As always, we will continue to keep you updated on the latest requirements in Belize.
