the need for travel medical Travel Medical Insurance is coverage for medical expenses incurred while traveling outside of one's home country. So if you're in another part of the world and get sick or suffer a serious injury, you can rest easy knowing that G1G will offer you assistance whenever and wherever while also covering your losses and potentially saving you thousands of dollars!
where domestic health insurance falls short Most domestic insurances do not protect you while you're traveling. Travel Medical guarantees that any medical costs incurred while abroad are taken care of, and comes with additional features like emergency medical evacuation, 24/7 assistance, and an international provider directory to locate proper medical care when you need it.
coverage is key Our highest rated plans let you visit any doctor or hospital you want to get the medical attention you need, and cover you for minor ailments like cold, flu, food poisoning, a physician's visit or urgent care as well as the more major emergencies such as surgical treatments, hospital room and board, emergency medical evacuation and prescription drugs. While routine procedures for pre-existing conditions are not covered, the acute onset of a pre-existing condition is. So if you suffer a medical emergency resulting from a pre-existing condition, your expenses will be covered in accordance with the details of coverage.
ready, set, insured Most Travel Medial policies begin with 24 hours of approval. All you have to do is tell us about your travel plans, select a policy that works for you and pay to have your coverage begin by midnight the following day. We generally suggest you purchase coverage right after you book your flights and accommodation to ensure that you're covered from the get go. Obviously, all plans are cancellable and refundable if your trip doesn't work out for some reason.
the cost of coverage Since our policies are both flexible and customizable, costs tend vary according to the plan you pick. And even with those, the deductible and maximum coverage limits are determined by the specifics of your trip, like duration, destination and method of travel. The best way to figure out costs is to decide what kind of coverage you want, and then personalize it to your specific travel needs based on price, coverage, and value.
