Because we know every traveler is different, we make it easy to compare plans and understand exactly what’s included.

4. No Out‑of‑Pocket Medical Expense for Eligible In‑Network Visits

Travelers often worry about paying for medical care while away from home. With Generali Global Assistance, certain trips may include access to a No Out‑of‑Pocket Medical Expense benefit of up to $1,000 when seeking treatment for an acute illness through an in‑network physician. To use this service, travelers must contact the Emergency Hotline first to receive a referral and have the visit scheduled. When available, the assistance provider may guarantee payment directly to the physician for the covered visit.

This service is only available when the acute illness is covered under the plan’s Medical and Dental coverage and is subject to all policy limitations, exclusions, and conditions. It does not apply to Emergency Dental treatment.

For other covered medical situations outside this service, Medical and Dental coverage is provided on an excess basis. In some cases, payment arrangements may be made if required at the time of treatment.

Why it matters: Travel protection goes beyond your itinerary. We help safeguard your identity, too.
