Review of Patriot Green from International Medical Group

Editor Review

The Good: Designed for environmentally conscious international travelers who want eco-friendly benefits with their short-term travel medical insurance. A portion of the plan purchase price is used to secure carbon credits or to make a donation to an environmental organization to offset your travel carbon footprint. Available for both U.S. and non U.S. citizens, individuals and families, this plan includes benefits such as carbon offset donations and paperless invoicing along with travel medical and AD&D.

The Drawbacks: Coverage for pre-existing conditions and injuries or illnesses due to terrorist acts is limited.

The Bottom Line: Offered by a trusted and reliable travel medical provider, this plan allows green travelers to seek medical treatment from any hospital or doctor, while supporting responsible tourism and sustainability.
