Coverage Options for Medical Travelers
Avia Protect by GPS℠
Eligible Complication Benefits
For eligible procedures, the program can include benefits for covered complications related to your planned medical, dental, or cosmetic treatment abroad.
Coverage may apply during your trip and if selected continue for a 180 day period after you return home if a covered complication develops.
Emergency Medical & Evacuation
Substantial emergency medical coverage for accidents and illness during your trip, plus emergency medical evacuation to the nearest appropriate facility.
Travel Insurance Built In
Every plan includes travel insurance benefits too, including trip cancellation, travel delay and baggage cover, separate from your complication benefits. If a covered complication extends your stay, companion and accommodation benefits can help as well.
Destination Availability
Coverage is available in many international destinations, including popular medical travel locations such as Mexico, Colombia, Turkey, Thailand, India, and Costa Rica. Availability depends on destination, facility, procedure, and provider eligibility rules.
Extended Post-Procedure Protection
Complications do not always appear right away. The program includes a 180 day post-procedure coverage window, with certain benefits continuing after you return home if selected.
This is one of the major reasons medical travelers should consider recovery protection before leaving for treatment abroad.
24/7 Safety & Assistance
Around-the-clock emergency assistance and real-time travel safety intelligence, available worldwide, 365 days a year. This can help you know who to contact, what steps to take, and where to turn if an unexpected medical, travel, or security issue comes up before, during, or after your trip.
Designed for Most Types of Medical Tourists
And other eligible procedures performed at facilities that meet the program provider's requirements.
Not all procedures, providers, destinations, or facilities qualify. Eligibility is determined by GPS, the issuing provider, and the official policy documents.
Higher-risk, complex, or specialized treatments may require additional review and may not be eligible.
