When you’re leaving home to travel the world… You deserve peace of mind that travels with you.
Yes, You Need Travel Medical Insurance
You may have great coverage in the U.S., but most of those benefits don’t extend overseas. If you need medical attention when you’re traveling, it could be difficult to find the right care — and you may have no coverage and face unexpected medical bills. Why take the chance?
International Healthcare Coverage is Designed to Make it Easy for You to Access Care While Traveling the World.
Powered by technology
The administrator's mobile app helps you locate care anywhere in the world, offers access to unlimited telemedicine visits, provides medicine equivalents, alerts you to local security and health issues and more.
Personalized by people
The administrator's in-house medical assistance team is always just a click or call away, 24/7/365.
Our health insurance plans are specifically designed for international travel. They cover important needs like medically necessary evacuations which can cost you thousands of dollars out of pocket and are typically not covered by your U.S. medical plan.
Enroll Now
Coverage is simple, convenient, comprehensive — and more affordable than you may think. Plans start at less than $2 a day for $1 million in coverage. Take us with you and travel with confidence.
Provides coverage for:
- Multiple trips outside of the U.S. (up to 70-day trip length) within a 12-month period

Why Choose the Trekker plans
Peace of mind
Even if you’re already enrolled in a domestic health plan, your coverage is limited when you travel abroad. In fact, your plan may not pay to have you safely evacuated if you’re critically ill. In addition to the administrative and logistical challenges, these situations can cost an unprotected traveler hundreds of thousands of dollars. With these plans, you can travel with peace of mind, knowing you’re covered. No matter where you go, support is just a call or click away.
Flexible plan options
We have plans to cover every international need, from leisure travel and expatriate to mission and workplace options—and you might be surprised at how affordable coverage can be.
Digital tools
The administrator's mobile app puts access to comprehensive coverage right in the palm of your hands. Get detailed profiles of carefully selected primary care physicians and specialists (as well as a broad range of hospitals, pharmacies and dentists), look up medical translations and medicine equivalents and get directions—all from the app.
Access to quality care
Leaving the U.S. doesn’t mean leaving behind familiar medical care if you need it. While our global medical network includes hand-selected providers in 190 countries, many of whom are Western-trained and English-speaking, you also have the freedom to choose any international doctor or facility for services. You can also talk with a doctor from anywhere in the world from your mobile phone or tablet through unlimited telemedicine services. And our Global Service Center is available 24/7/365 to answer questions about accessing care or health concerns or coordinate medication evacuation/repatriation.
