Seven Corners Travel Medical Insurance

For nearly 30 years, Seven Corners has provided the best travel insurance for domestic and international travel. The Seven Corners Assist team also has helped millions of customers with travel-related situations, including medical evacuations, translation services, and more.

Not all domestic health insurance plans will follow you outside your home country.

• Travel medical insurance provides additional coverage beyond what your domestic health insurance typically covers. The domestic health insurance you already have may be limited and apply only to an emergency.
• Some health providers overseas may require payment before treating medical emergencies. Your domestic health insurance might not provide the necessary payment prior to treatment overseas.
• Domestic health insurance does not typically include travel assistance services or medical evacuation. According to the U.S. Department of State, “although some health insurance companies pay 'customary and reasonable' hospital costs abroad, very few pay for your medical evacuation back to the United States.” Travel medical insurance can provide travel assistance and medical evacuation if the facility where you are located is unable to provide the level of care needed for your medical condition that likely is not covered by domestic insurance.

Accidents happen, regardless of whether you're healthy. Seven Corners travel medical insurance can help with many different situations that occur while traveling such as:

• Car accidents
• Boat accidents
• Slip and fall injuries
• Altitude sickness
• Food poisoning
• Contagious diseases (COVID-19, malaria, yellow fever, typhoid, measles, Zika)*

Many countries with national health care have strict requirements that must be met before you can use the benefits. Check with the country’s health plan to find out if you qualify for coverage

Some countries require proof of international medical insurance for entry or for extended visits. Check with your destination’s embassy to find out if health insurance is required.

You also may be required to obtain travel medical insurance to be issued a visa. For example, Schengen visas require insurance with a specific plan maximum and benefits for repatriation for medical reasons. Again, check with your destination’s embassy or enter your trip information with sherpaº to find out what travel and health documentation is required for international travel.

Seven Corners Travel Medical Plus plans include coverage for treatment if you become sick with COVID while traveling internationally.
