    Short Term Abroad

    Short Term Abroad

    Wherever your employees are traveling for business, you'll want to give them and their families peace of mind with a health care policy that covers unexpected illness and injury as well as routine medical requirements. Our Short Term Abroad plan is designed to offer your employees and mission workers the information they need before their assignment, and excellent, easy-to-access health care while they're abroad.

    Your workers can find country specific information on our online health portal or call our 24/7 global service center. And in an emergency, we'll connect your workers with our global network of medical providers and facilities for quality treatment and care.

    We have fifty years of experience in establishing guarantees of payment on behalf of employees to doctors and hospitals around the world.
