Patriot Multi-Trip International Frequently Asked Questions


Are pre-existing conditions covered under international medical?

Under short term medical plans pre-existing conditions are not covered. If you are looking for a permanent plan because you are going to be out of your home country for longer than six months please give us a call for advice.

Are vision and dental benefits covered under a short-term medical plan?

Unless state-mandated, vision and dental are not covered under a short-term medical plan. Emergency dental work due to an accident may be included under a standard plan.

How do I extend or renew my coverage?

Extension or renewal options vary from plan to plan. Some plans are not extendable or renewable, and some are only renewable if you purchase a minimum number of months. If your plan is renewable or extendable, you must renew before the expiration date. Otherwise, you will need to reapply and satisfy new deductibles or waiting periods. Policies do not automatically renew; you will receive your renewal notice by email.

How early should I purchase my travel insurance?

You may need to buy your coverage quickly. Certain plans, such as trip cancellation plans, have benefits that are not available unless you purchase your coverage within 10-15 days of your initial down payment on your trip. Trip cancellation may exclude pre-existing conditions, or not offer a “Cancel for Any Reason” benefit if you purchase coverage after a certain number of days from the time that you make your initial trip deposit. See the brochure for details.

If I am exposed to Ebola and quarantined what will my international medical insurance cover?

You may be covered if you have to be quarantined due to Ebola.

Policies can provide coverage for cancellation and interruption due to you or your traveling partner or family member being quarantined. If the need for quarantine affects your trip, Trip Interruption coverage may be available to cover the cost to catch up to your trip once you have been cleared to travel. Also, coverage may also be available through the Trip Cancellation provision of your policy if you are required to cancel your trip due to the quarantine.

Policies that offer this type of coverage will list “Quarantine” as a covered reason under the policy’s Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption benefit.

Coverage is subject to change as conditions related to Ebola change.

What do I do if I have a claim?

If you are seeking treatment at a medical facility or provider, give that provider the contact information to the company you are covered under. Many times the insurance company can provide payment upfront. If you have paid anything out-of-pocket then save all your receipts, medical bills, and forms pertaining to your claim. Complete the appropriate claim form from that insurance company and submit it with the associated bills and payment information. Many companies offer online tools to help you file a claim or to check on the status of a pending claim.

What insurance documents do I need to take on my trip?

Now that your travel insurance is in place, it’s important that you take a few documents with you on your trip and also leave a copy of these at home with a family member or friend.
1. Your confirmation of coverage document.
2. The insurance’s company’s emergency contact phone number.
3. Your policy number.
4. Your coverage and benefits policy pages.
Before your trip be sure that you have read your policy and are familiar with the benefits available so you can ask questions if there is something unclear.

What is a pre-certification requirement?

Certain medical procedures and benefits require pre-certification before the insurance company will approve the cost. Procedures and treatments such as but not limited to surgeries, emergency medical evacuation, CAT scans, MRI scans, and return of mortal remains must be pre-certified before treatment, or coverage may be reduced by 50% and other expenses forfeited. Only you and your doctor can decide the appropriate course of treatment for your injury or illness. Most carriers offer the option to pre-certify online through your consumer portal or by phone.
