Is there good health care in Jamaica?

We recommend both third-party travel health and trip cancellation insurance as well as the resort's cancel for any reason waiver.  Most third-party plans will offer coverage for trip-cancellation and medical costs. 


While the resort often has a nurse available onsite or can refer you to a local doctor for routine health issues, your medical insurance likely will not cover medical expenses in Jamaica. A serious matter involving medical evacuation or long-term injury could be extremely costly.


There are inexpensive options to make sure you are covered, often under $20-30. Many of these plans include a "sports rider" or similar coverage that will include coverage for sports injuries (like SCUBA diving, snorkeling, etc.). While these plans may or may not cover a BDSM related injury, we recommend that you purchase a travel insurance plan with sports rider coverage.


Plans are available through private companies like United Healthcare.


Concations is not responsible for your travel insurance, medical needs, or injuries while traveling.
