    Frequently asked questions

    Everyone! If you are going outside of the U.S., you should really protect yourself with a travel medical plan. Relying on your regular insurance could leave you with a large bill if you get sick or injured. Our plans protect every type of travel, from a spring break vacation in the Caribbean to a business trip to Tokyo. Planning to move to another country? We have a plan for that too! Find out more about all of our plans!

    You don't need a primary health plan to enroll in the Single Trip Gold plan. This can make it a more affordable option than the Single Trip Platinum plan, which requires you to have a primary health plan.

    No. Your regular health insurance will not cover you outside of the U.S. Or it may provide very limited coverage. If you get hurt or sick while overseas, you could be left with a large bill to pay. Our plans make sure you are protected so you can explore the world without any worries.

    We understand that life plans change. That’s why you can cancel your plan if you need to, without cancellation fees or penalties.

    How to make a cancellation request

    All cancellation requests must come from the primary insured by one of these methods:

    With our single-trip plan, a trip can be as short as one day or as long as 182 days. The minimum charge is for 7 days. With our multi-trip plans, you'll be covered for an unlimited number of trips within 365 days. Multi-trip plans cover the first 70 days of each trip.

    Staying abroad for longer than a year? We have long-term health plans with comprehensive coverage. These plans can be renewed every year as needed.

     

    No. You need to buy our travel medical plans before you leave on your trip. You can buy a plan up to 1 day before you leave. For single-trip plans, you may request a policy extension or a one time consecutive re-enrollment while overseas.
