Travel Medical Plans Enhancement
Travel medical insurance is financially important and should be a necessity to anyone (tourist, business traveler, student, family visitor, foreign aid worker, overseas contractor, etc.) traveling or residing outside their home country.
Petersen International offers two easy-to-follow travel medical plans that help fill the many benefit gaps hidden throughout U.S. healthcare policies; one for outbound U.S. residents and the other for inbound foreign nationals. Both products are built on robust, benefit-heavy chassis. The USAway International Major Medical Plan provides coverage for medical services and benefits for U.S. residents traveling or working anywhere in the world, including political hotspots like Iraq and Ukraine. War and terrorism coverage is available as an option for those visiting notoriously hazardous locales around the world. We also offer a rider for sports and activities coverage which provides benefits for those taking part in exercises that may pose an extra danger, including extreme sports and racing.
The other offering is the International Major Medical Plan which covers foreign nationals traveling to or temporarily residing in the United States. The product is the perfect fit for non-U.S. residents when they travel to the states for business, vacation or while visiting family. Similar to the USAway Plan, benefits are available for hazardous sports exposure in the U.S.
Both plans provide important ancillary benefits like medical evacuation and repatriation, trip cancellation and accidental death coverage. These benefits and more are included at very reasonable premiums, allowing your clients to travel protected with peace of mind.
New this year to both products, we are extremely pleased to announce the addition of COVID-19 coverage, now available as an optional rider. Through Petersen’s online enrollment portal for each product, clients have the choice to select the COVID-19 rider, which in most instances covers medically necessary treatment of COVID-19 up to the maximum benefit of the policy.
