Stranded! The case for international travel and medical insurance

Webinar: International Travel and Medical Insurance

Whether you’re sending a mission team, visiting ministry partners or on vacation, travel risks are on the rise. Learn how to protect your people and investment with international travel and medical coverage.

Forbes magazine recently declared, “It's not too soon to declare 2023 the year of travel insurance.” The last few years have revealed the volatility of international travel, whether for business, pleasure or missionary work. A related challenge is getting access to health care – particularly in the event of a medical emergency – when outside the United States. Recent challenges include:

  • Pandemic-related travel bans and quarantine orders

  • Disruptions with airports, airlines or FAA operations

  • The rising cost of travel

In addition to these emerging concerns, traditional travel problems include:

  • Geopolitical uncertainty

  • Weather and geological phenomena wreaking havoc

  • The need for urgent medical care outside the United States

It may not be an overstatement to say there’s more at stake now than ever when it comes to international travel. When upfront expenses and risks are increasing, protecting your trip, budget and health make practical sense and provide peace of mind.

International travel and medical insurance can provide protection for:

  • Church mission teams

  • Pastors

  • Nonprofit volunteers

  • Missionaries

  • Nonprofit executives

  • And any and all travelers who want to protect themselves and their travel investment

It can provide protection in events including:

  • An illness requiring local medical attention.

  • An injury requiring emergency medical evacuation.

  • Unexpected expenses due to a delayed flight or an unplanned early departure.

  • Delayed, interrupted or canceled trips

In this live webinar, we’ll examine the costs, benefits and limitations that travel and medical insurance can provide. How much is enough? Which plan do you need? We’ll also take your questions.
