Easy Travel Insurance


Healthcare is a requisite purchase for most U.S. residents, as taxpayers are penalized for not having proper medical insurance.  Seeing as coverage follows us as we travel throughout the U.S. and spend time across state boundaries, shouldn’t we expect the same when we travel to Europe, Canada or Mexico?  Shouldn’t we feel secure knowing that our healthcare follows us anywhere in the world?  We spend our hard-earned money on insurance premiums, but the reality is that significant benefits and certain protections end at our nation’s borders.  Most U.S.-based medical plans lack in comprehensive overseas coverage, and many Americans are unaware of the common pitfalls.

The solution to this predicament is travel medical insurance and Petersen International is a leading purveyor of such protection.

We offer two robust, easy-to-follow plans; one for outbound U.S. residents and the other for inbound foreign nationals.  Both products are built on simplistic, but benefit-heavy chassis.  The USAway International Major Medical Plan provides coverage for medical services and benefits for U.S. residents traveling or working anywhere in the world – and we mean anywhere.  War and terrorism coverage is available as an affordable option for those visiting notoriously hazardous locales around the world.  We also offer a rider for sports and activities coverage which provides benefits for those taking part in exercises that may be hazardous, including extreme sports and racing.  The plan also offers an optional rider to cover COVID-19-related symptoms and treatment.

The other offering is the International Major Medical Plan which was designed to insure those traveling to the United States.  The product is the perfect fit for non-U.S. residents when they travel to the states for business, vacation or while visiting family.  Similar to the USAway Plan, benefits are available for hazardous sports and COVID exposure in the U.S. as well.

Both plans provide important ancillary benefits like medical evacuation and repatriation, trip cancellation and accidental death coverage.  These benefits and more are included at very reasonable premiums, allowing your clients to travel protected with peace of mind.
