If you have a medical emergency or accident, your health care bills will be paid for (up to your selected coverage amount). Our coverage even addresses the need for a guarantee of payment, so you get care without delay.
Get to quality care, quickly
In a medical emergency, our 24/7 Emergency Response Center specialists help assess the best care for your needs, and the best place to deliver it. If the right care isn’t available locally, medical evacuation coverage can pay the cost of medical transportation up to your coverage when appropriate, whether ground or air ambulance, to a credentialed hospital or center of medical excellence.

If your itinerary is changed for health, weather or work reasons, this plan steps in with coverage that includes accommodations, meals, transportation and other support.
Coverage for full-on adventures
Some vacations are more daring than others, whether due to your favorite activities or the terrain of your destination. Our optional add-on Extreme Sports coverage includes scuba diving, parachuting and more; optional Rental Car Damage is available as well.
