Trip Cancellation coverage begins at 12:01 a.m. the day after the required plan cost is received.

What is covered under Ancillary Medical Evacuation?

 

Ancillary Medical Evacuation may cover transportation for dependent children to return home if you are hospitalized or unable to travel, and bedside visit transportation for one person if hospitalized for more than seven consecutive days. Coverage is subject to plan limits and conditions.

What is covered under Optional Pet Travel Medical Expense?

 

Optional Pet Travel Medical Expense may reimburse you if your pet suffers an injury or sickness during a covered trip that requires emergency treatment by a veterinarian, up to the maximum benefit amount. Coverage applies to all pets accompanying you on the trip.
