No idea what most travelers do, but there are some who take agency insurance, those who get their own from the ACA healthcare exchange or privately, or COBRA their current insurance. Lots of options. Personally, I think multiple agencies are the way to go for best pay for experienced travelers, and I would expect most of those to have their own insurance (I do) because it is more efficient that signing up, waiting periods, poor benefits, and so on. I ask agencies to reimburse me for my existing insurance, some will (with receipts), and some won't.
I choose to get my own insurance from an exchange so as to not be tied to any one particular agency just to keep insurance going. Choosing your own insurance leaves one less thing to worry about when choosing your next assignment. I think it helps keep all the offers on a more even playing field.

Hello all ,
I wish to know what most of nursing travelers do . Do you take insurance per your assignment ? Meaning that your insurance plan may change from one company to the other ( if you use different companies depending on assignment ) Or do you have your own personal insurance so you do not have to bounce around , insurance wise?
Thank you ,
