Am I covered for urgent medical treatment when abroad?

Your travel insurance policy provides coverage for emergency medical expenses if you suffer a covered illness or injury during your travels. The maximum limits for coverage depend on whether you bought a Standard or Explorer plan. 

What's covered:

Your coverage may include the following when ordered by a medical professional as a necessary treatment and can’t wait until your return home to the United States: 

  • Hospital stays, including the use of an operating room.
  • Services of a Physician.
  • X-rays, laboratory tests, anesthetics.
  • Drugs, medicine, and therapeutic services.
  • Ambulance services.

What do you do if something happens to you:

Our 24/7 Emergency Assistance team is here to help in the case of an emergency and must be contacted immediately if you: 

  • Are admitted to hospital;
  • Need emergency medical evacuation or repatriation.

The team can help with locating suitable medical facilities, verifying your travel insurance coverage, and monitoring your care throughout the emergency.
