International Medical Brokerage Insures Pilgrims To World Youth Day 2008

The Schaetzel Insurance Agency LLC, which ranks first on Google for the key-phrase "Pilgrimage Insurance" and "Pilgrimage Medical insurance," is now taking clients for World Youth Day 2008. The brokerage has recently expanded its services to reach out to religious pilgrims internationally.

"Don’t leave the country without it" says Shane Schaetzel, owner and founder of The Schaetzel Insurance Agency LLC, which operates www.itravelhealth.com. "Young people and their parents, go to great lengths to plan for international pilgrimages like World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney Australia. Yet many of them overlook international medical insurance should something go wrong." The Schaetzel Insurance Agency LLC, has seen a surge in young clients seeking international medical insurance coverage for this event. As the primary cause, Mr. Schaetzel cites a lack of coverage offered by some domestic health insurance providers to reimburse for international medical expenses. "That’s why a low-cost supplemental insurance plan is so essential to any kind of international trip," Schaetzel said.

According to Mr. Schaetzel, "For just a fraction of what the trip costs, insurance can be obtained to cover the whole thing." Young pilgrims for World Youth Day 2008 and their parents, can find such plans on www.itravelhealth.com. MultiNational Underwriters, Seven Corners and Petersen International Underwriters offer competitive pricing for plans covering medical expenses only. While Seven Corners specifically specializes in a plan that insures the entire cost of the trip including medical expenses.

The Schaetzel Insurance Agency LLC, offers a variety of low-cost travel insurance plans designed to reimburse for medical expenses overseas, as well as plans covering the entire cost of the trip in the event of illness. Over 600,000 young Catholics are expected to attend the final mass of World Youth Day 2008. Only a small fraction of those pilgrims will be insured for the trip. A few brokerages, like The Schaetzel Insurance Agency LLC, are working to change that with affordable rates and reliable coverage.
