Liaison® Travel Medical Insurance for International Travelers

This is the amount of time (180 days) you have from the date of your injury or illness to receive treatment. If your plan ends during your benefit period, you can still receive treatment if you are outside your home country. If you return to your home country, there is limited coverage under Extension of Benefits in Home Country. Each injury or illness receives one benefit period. 

Example:  If you break your leg on January 1 while on your trip and covered by the plan, you have 180 days from January 1 (until June 30) to receive treatment for your leg. If your plan ends on June 1, you still have until June 30 to receive treatment for your leg. 

We cover injuries and illnesses which occur during your period of coverage. Benefits are paid in excess of your deductible, copays and coinsurance up to your medical maximum.
Initial treatment must occur within 30 days of the date of injury or onset of illness.

See the description of those services for details explaining how they work.

COVID-19 treatment includes hospital and hotel expenses if a qualified treating physician authorizes them. The hotel expenses can be due to unavailability of a hospital room due to capacity or distance or to any other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the insured person.

If you are hospitalized while traveling outside of the United States, we will pay you for each night you spend in the hospital, up to 30 days. This benefit is in addition to other covered expenses, and you may use these incidental funds as you wish.

This can cover expenses incurred in your home country (including those following an emergency medical evacuation or repatriation), for conditions first diagnosed and treated outside your home country if you seek treatment within 180 days of the injury or illness.
