Optional coverage
Home Country Coverage provides coverage for incidental trips back to a traveler’s home country during an international trip.
OPTIONAL RETURN TO HOME COUNTRY
If Coverage is purchased, the Covered Person may return to their Home Country for up to 60 days per 12 months of Coverage Purchased during the Policy Period for an Incidental Trip. If a Covered Injury or Illness occurs while on their Incidental Trip, this benefit will pay to the maximum as outlined in the Schedule of Benefits for covered medical expenses incurred during the Incidental Trip. To be eligible for an Incidental Trip the Covered Person’s Policy Period must be greater than 30 days in length. If the Covered Person does not return from their Incidental Trip on their scheduled return date, the Policy will be Terminated on the date of their scheduled return from their Home Country.
If the Covered Person’s scheduled return date cannot be verified, the Policy will terminate on their date the Covered Person departed for their Home Country. Any Injury or Illness that occurred during the Incidental Trip will be considered a Pre-Existing Condition once the Incidental Trip has concluded and no further expenses for that Injury or Illness will be covered.
