What’s the worst that could happen to you? For many, falling sick when traveling abroad tops the list. Atlas Travel Health Insurance is a short term plan, especially designed to benefit vacationers, business travelers, and students on study abroad trips.

Atlas international travel insurance plan offers extensive medical insurance coverage, including outpatient treatment, hospitalization, and ambulance services. It also offers a $100 per day hospital indemnity benefit, and covers physical therapy, emergency dental procedures, and medical emergency evacuation. The plan also offers a hazardous sports coverage rider for an additional fee.

Seniors are often uninsured or under insured simply because of the clauses that exclude pre-existing conditions from the plan. If a person under 70 suffers a serious recurrence of a previously existing condition that requires hospitalization, the Atlas international travelers medical insurance plan covers the medical and evacuation costs. Also, if a covered minor will be left alone when the insured is hospitalized, the plan includes the cost of sending the minor home.

In keeping with the times, the plan also offers coverage for injuries resulting from acts of terrorism and natural disasters, and costs related to political evacuation. If an international trip is interrupted due to a catastrophic event that damages the home of the insured, the Atlas International insurance plan will cover his/her trip back home. In the unfortunate event of the death of the insured, the plan covers the cost of sending the remains home.

The plan not just covers travel, but also temporary trips home during the plan period, for up to a maximum of 15 days in 3 months. The Atlas insurance plan eases the transition on return by offering medical coverage for 30 days in the home country.

The travel medical insurance plan also offers non-medical benefits such as lost baggage tracking and help with finding doctors and lawyers in case of need. The plan covers treatment (after the deductible) by U.S. doctors and hospitals that are part of the PPO network.

Atlas International travel insurance coverage is provided for people who are at least 14 days old. Plans vary in duration from 5 days to 12 months. Customers can check their plans and view a host of information on the online portal, called the client zone. A toll-free number helps plan holders call customer service worldwide.

The minimum coverage of the Atlas international travel insurance plan is $50,000 and the maximum is $1,000,000. Different premium slabs are available, depending on the coverage requested, the applicant?s age, and whether the hazardous sports coverage is opted for.
