# Why do I need health insurance?

Traveler's health insurance is required to ensure that visitors are covered medically in case of an emergency while traveling in the U.S.

Health insurance is also important in the event that visitors need to receive immunizations,  a doctor visit, or any medical procedures while in the U.S. Without insurance healthcare in the U.S. can be very costly.
