Secondary Coverage is generally
BETTER than Primary Coverage

Many agents are confused by the differences between Secondary and Primary Medical Coverage. There is sometimes a huge misconception that only primary coverage is worth purchasing and that plans with secondary coverage should be avoided.

We want to make it crystal clear that TravelSafe's secondary insurance becomes primary if your own insurance does not extend beyond the US for travel outside the country (which is a very common scenario).

Additionally, hospitals and other "big ticket" medical bills are PAID DIRECT by secondary plans, which is sometimes not the case with primary plans. Many primary insurance plans will not pay up front, leaving travelers to handle the emergency themselves and only later seek reimbursement.

Medical bills for follow up care are paid up to the maximum benefit for ONE FULL YEAR from the date of your Sickness or Injury. Some of our competitors' PRIMARY coverage expires on the client's return date. On average, our medical coverage is going to pay a much larger benefit and avoid premature medical evacuation. OUR FIRST CONCERN IS THE CLIENT'S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING!

Also included in our policies is our One Call Assistance Services, providing your customers with 24-hour, worldwide assistance and collect call access to many vital services in the event of an emergency while they are traveling.

Don't take chances - take TravelSafe!
Your clients will thank you.
