PROTECT YOUR TRAVEL INVESTMENT – Sometimes the unexpected can force you to cancel your trip. Consider the sickness or injury of you, your family member or your traveling companion; or a terrorist event in a city on your itinerary; bad weather that delays your departure; or storm damage to your home.

Purchase your plan within seven (7) days of your initial trip deposit to be eligible for waiver pre-existing conditions. You must be medically able to travel at the time you purchase the plan and this must be the first booking for the same travel period and destination.

PROTECT YOURSELF – No one plans to get sick or injured while traveling but what if it happens to you? Many group medical plans do not provide coverage when you are overseas or traveling outside of network. Most have no coverage for Emergency Medical Evacuation. Our plan provides benefits for up to $10,000 in medical expenses incurred while traveling, and up to $25,000 for Emergency Medical Evacuation.

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY – Coverage is included for lost baggage up to $1,000 and up to $300 per article to reimburse you for expenses incurred to purchase essential items in the event your baggage is lost or delayed.

PROTECT YOUR PEACE OF MIND – Valuable 24-hour Assistance Services are only a phone call away. Services include pre-departure planning such as weather, inoculation information, and passport and visa information. If you become sick or are injured while traveling our assistance specialists can direct you to the nearest medical facility providing the level of care you need as well as coordinate necessary emergency medical evacuation or the bedside visit of a family member or friend of your choice should you be hospitalized away from home.

The above are highlights of the Plan. You will be provided a Description of Coverage containing the complete terms, conditions and exclusions that apply, with your travel documents. You may click the following links for additional information: Overview of this plan; The Evidence of Benefits (for a more detailed description of coverage, benefits, and terms and conditions); Frequently Asked Questions.
