Protection for the unexpected

Finding resources to handle sudden, unexpected emergencies while traveling can be difficult. That's where travel assistance can help. It provides around-the-clock access to services for employees and their families on any single trip, up to 120 days in length, more than 100 miles from home.

Plus, our identity theft benefit, which is bundled automatically with travel assistance, helps provide employees even more peace of mind.

And whether at home or traveling abroad, identity theft assistance helps provide identity protection through education, prevention and recovery information.

Case Studies

Manila

An employee from California was diagnosed with an acute respiratory condition and hospitalized in the Philippines for 59 days. Once the patient’s condition stabilized, travel assistance arranged for an air ambulance and a critical care team to escort the patient back to the United States, a ground ambulance upon arrival and readmission into a California hospital. For this employee travel assistance not only provided potentially lifesaving support, they saved $175,000* in air ambulance and medical staff fees.
