Health insurance is one of the topics travel nurses ask about most, and it deserves more than a quick answer. Unlike staff nurses who get coverage through their hospital and largely stop thinking about it, travel nurses have to actively manage theirs. Coverage can start late, drop between contracts, or fail to follow you across state lines. One unexpected medical bill during a coverage gap can wipe out weeks of the pay premium you took the assignment for.<\/p>\n

This guide breaks down your main options, what questions to ask before you sign any contract, and how to handle the gaps that come with travel nursing. Whether you are on your first assignment or evaluating a new agency, knowing how your coverage works gives you more leverage and fewer surprises.<\/p>\n
