Editor Review
The Good: This is an annual medical plan for accident and sickness protection for individuals, couples, and families, traveling outside their home country but not to the U.S. Plan provides medical, evacuation, repatriation, and AD&D in the base plan along with a few package-like benefits: trip interruption and lost luggage.
The Drawbacks: No coverage for emergency dental or pre-existing medical conditions. Coinsurance and deductibles apply. The AD&D is relatively low when compared to other plans.
The Bottom Line: This is a highly flexible plan – letting you choose the medical limit, the deductible amount, and a number of optional riders to customize the plan to fit your needs.
