Global Emergency Services (Assist America)

Each medical plan provides direct access to Assist America, a global emergency services program which is automatically available if you encounter either medical or non-medical emergencies while traveling 100 miles or more away from home, including being in another country. Key medical services include consultation and referral, prescription assistance, evacuation, related needs for transportation and care of family members, and return of mortal remains. Key non-medical services include emergency messages, interpreter and legal referrals, and pre-trip information.
