Don’t spend extra for this coverage anymore! This benefit helps you get the treatment you need if a medical emergency strikes when you’re more than 100 miles from home. It can arrange for emergency evacuations, medical assistance in foreign countries, payment to overseas medical providers, emergency cash advances, travel assistance for family members and more. (This feature pending approval for Florida residents.)
