How to prepare for a business trip

Falling ill is never a picnic, and it is way more stressful while you are away from your familiar doctors. We will tell you how not to lose your money and survive the business trip.

Two things are important to check before you go — first aid kit and insurance. First aid kit is essential if you have any diseases for which a specific or prescription-only medicine is needed. Those meds and the ones for usual things like high temperature and food poisoning will save you a lot of nerves and time. The insurance is usually provided by the company, but it never hurts to check if you actually have it.

But sometimes, no amount of planning can prevent the unpleasant experience. In this case, you should contact the insurance company and ask them where and when you can get medical services. When you get to the hospital, the doctor might ask you whether you have pain in any part of the body, your temperature and other symptoms.

Don't forget to get a copy of your medical records and insurance papers that prove the fact of your treatment. This way you will be able to receive sick leave at work.
