Each year millions of individuals depart their home countries for travel abroad for vacations, corporate or business travel, international study abroad, and missionary travel to name a few. Many international travelers discover the hard way that their home country medical insurance policies provide little or no coverage for losses incurred while on international trips or living abroad. Medical treatment away from home can be expensive and evacuation from a life threatening situation can cost thousands of dollars more than the cost of the trip abroad. MultiNational Underwriters^® helps take the risk out of international travel. Protection against these losses is available for individuals traveling outside of their home countries.
