  • Yes. COVID-19 is treated the same as any other sickness for purposes of all coverages that are triggered by a sickness or that can reimburse losses resulting from a sickness – including deaths caused by sickness. Depending on the Plan Design, this can include – but is not necessarily limited to – the following (including the sub-benefits of many of these):

    • Accident and Sickness
    • Medical Expense
    • Emergency Medical Evacuation/ Medical Repatriation/ Return of Remains.
  • It is important that UnitedHealthcare Global is notified as soon as possible. Our Emergency Response Center professionals will monitor your care and work through the complex details of foreign hospitalizations on your behalf. Our staff will immediately speak with your treating doctor to assess your condition, your treatment plans, and whether or not a medical evacuation is necessary. At your request, we will update your family, employer and personal physician as appropriate, as well as coordinate all travel medical insurance verifications and admission details, leaving you to focus on getting better.

  • This is the perfect example of why SafeTrip is so essential: in case of inadequate local health care, our Emergency Response Center will coordinate proper medical transfer to the nearest UnitedHealthcare Global-vetted facility, where we will continue to monitor your case until you are returned home or have received final treatment. 

  • Evacuations are complex and typically involve:

    • Evaluation of the transport requirements (such as oxygen requirements, healthcare specialists, special equipment, altitude specifications, etc.)
    • Discharge administration
    • Admission into a new facility
    • Identifying qualified aeromedical escorts and air ambulances
    • Coordinating ground transportation on both ends of the evacuation
    • Immigration and flight clearances
    • Assistance with family travel arrangements
  • We are here for you with non-insurance travel assistance services, even if you’re facing a non-medical challenge. You can call our Emergency Response Center to assist with lost or stolen passports, legal referrals, translation services, emergency transfer of funds and a host of other non-medical problems. 

    UnitedHealthcare Global also provides travel and medical assistance through our 24/7 Emergency Response Center. Contact us via the phone +1.410.453.6330 (International),  +1.800.527.0218 (toll free) or email us at [email protected]
