Travel Insurance Reviews Travel Medical Plans
Most regular health insurance plans provide only partial or no coverage while you are traveling in another country. We offer several types of Travel Medical plans providing a range of benefits, such as medical coverage for pre-existing conditions, multi-trip and renewable protection, emergency medical evacuation, and coverage for long-term travel.
To learn more, see our Travel Medical Plans article.

I did not have any claims on the policy so it is difficult to assess it's worth. All insurance plans are worth the money if you need them, but just an additional expense if not needed.

Having not used the plan, I'm assuming that if I needed the coverage, it was there to help us through any life events. Peace of mind means a lot.

Travel Guard MedEvac Plan
When traveling abroad, it is essential to have insurance for medical expenses or medical evacuation, which are not covered by Medicare and most health insurance. On a trip to Turkey, a woman in our group had appendicitis. She did not have travel insurance. She had only Medicare and a secondary health insurance plan, neither of which covered any expenses outside the U.S. She could not afford to pay for an air ambulance to have surgery back in the U.S. So she had surgery in Istanbul. Her adult daughter stayed with her, and paid out of pocket hotel room and restaurant meals while her mother was in the hospital. They had to pay up front for her medical care and hospitalization. Presumably they had to pay a high airfare home when she was well enough to travel. I always buy travel insurance. My credit card (co-branded with an airline's frequent flyer program) covers trip cancellation and interruption when I charge flights, hotels, cruises, etc. to that card (even if it's a different airline). However, that credit card does not cover medical treatments, hospitalization, or evacuation to the U.S. in case of illness or accident. This AIG Travel Guard MedEvac Plan is very reasonably priced and covers that gap including expenses for a traveling companion. Thankfully my companion and I have not needed medical treatment while traveling, but having this coverage gives us peace of mind.

Seemed a great plan for the money but of course didn't claim on it so that would be the full test to whether it was a great plan or not.
Would use them again.

This gave me the peace of mind to know that if some unfortunate incident happened while on our trip I would have your company watching out for my best interests.

Didn’t need to use the coverage, thank God, but glad to know I had it. I do have questions because you can’t “list†all the countries you visit, and that leaves me questioning whether the coverage is valid for all countries on a trip.

I wrote an email to the company through its website indicating that I had GI problems and might need assistance. It took 3 days for the company to respond.
