Most travelers assume they will be covered by their standard medical plan. The truth is, while traditional plans may offer adequate domestic coverage, they may not be designed for international travel. Without even realizing it, you may be putting your health - & that of your family - at risk.

What if you are injured or become ill during your trip? Could you get quality treatment at an unfamiliar hospital? How would you deal with the language and currency barriers? What if the treatment you need isn't available nearby? Who do you call? Imagine trying to call your insurance company at 3:00 a.m. from a foreign country during a medical emergency! Will they be there when you need them the most?

You have enough things to worry about when you're traveling. Don't let your medical coverage be one of them.

Nationwide PPO Network:     Click here to ACCESS THE PPO DIRECTORY

You may seek treatment under Patriot Travel Medical Insurance Plan worldwide, including in the United States, with the hospital or doctor of your choice. When seeking treatment in the U.S., you may use the independent Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) contracted by IMG, a separately organized network (First Health Group) of approximately 500,000 physicians and 4,700 privately owned and operated hospitals. * This PPO network includes a large number of hospitals including some of the most well recognized university medical centers and transplant facilities.

Using this provider network could significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

When a U.S. hospital outside the network is used, a co-payment of US $250 is required in addition to the regular deductible and coinsurance. This co-payment is waived, however, if there is not a network provider within 50 miles of the location of treatment.

Each proposed hospital admission, inpatient or outpatient surgery, and certain other medical procedures must be Pre-certified for medical necessity. This means the insured person or their attending physician must call the number listed on the IMG identification card prior to admittance to a hospital or performance of a surgery, or medical procedure. In the case of an emergency hospital admission, the Pre-certification call must be made within 48 hours of the admission, or as soon as reasonably possible. For a complete list of procedures requiring Pre-certification, please refer to your certificate wording.
