  • Why Do I Need Travel Medical Insurance?

    Travel medical insurance is no longer a luxury. In many cases, it could be a necessity. Here are a few reasons why you may need travel medical coverage for your international adventure:

  • young-traveler-woman-in-red-dress-and-hat-sitting-on

    International Travel

    Your regular health insurance may not cover you abroad. And very few plans pay for medical evacuation.

    Country Requirements

    Some countries require travel medical insurance for entry. Atlas Travel meets Schengen visa and J-1 visa requirements.

  • young-group-of-tourists-with-suitcases-arriving-at-youth-hostel

    Trip Requirements

    Some trip types require insurance.
    Think organized tours, study abroad trips, mission trips, and cruises.

  • young-asian-woman-in-international-airport--using-mobile-smartphone-and

    Travel Delays

    A lengthy travel delay could leave you stranded at the airport. In covered situations, you’ll appreciate reimbursement for meals and a hotel stay.

    Lost Checked Luggage

    Your airline could lose your luggage. Travel medical insurance could cover the cost of replacing clothes and toiletries.

What's the Difference Between Travel Medical & Trip Cancellation Insurance?

Travel Medical Insurance

Travel medical insurance provides coverage for medical bills from unexpected injury and illness, along with travel benefits for mishaps and emergencies. Travel medical plans tend to be budget-friendly because they do not include trip cancellation coverage. Travelers from most countries who are exploring the world abroad are eligible for a travel medical plan.

Optional upgrades include Crisis Response, Personal Liability, and Accidental Death & Dismemberment—or bundle all three and save. You can also add up to $2,000 of device protection for your phone, laptop, or tablet if you’re entering or exiting the United States.

Trip Cancellation Insurance

Trip cancellation insurance (also known as trip protection insurance) includes some medical coverage, but its core benefit is Trip Cancellation. This benefit provides coverage for prepaid, nonrefundable trip expenses if you cancel your trip for a covered reason. Trip cancellation insurance is only available to U.S. residents, but they may be traveling domestically and/or abroad.

Optional upgrades include Cancel for Any Reason, Interrupt for Any Reason, Adventure Sports, Rental Car Damage and Theft, Medical Evacuation, and Pet Care. (Be sure to check your coverage. Availability of upgrades can depend on the plan you choose and your state of residency.)

How Do I Submit a Claim?

You must complete, sign, and submit a Claimant's Statement and Authorization form along with proof of claim (itemized bills, payment receipts, medical records, police reports, etc.) for every incident. (Click here to download the form in Spanish).

Filing a Claim on Behalf of Someone Else? If you are filing this claim on behalf of another person, you MUST fill out the section of the Claimant's Statement and Authorization form labeled "Supplement D - Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information" – also known as a HIPAA form. This section must be signed by the policyholder in order for us to speak with you regarding any of the policyholder's Protected Health Information (PHI). Without this signed form, we may only disclose to you the status of the claim.

You can complete and submit the Claimant's Statement and Authorization form along with supporting documents in one of the following ways:

Via DocuSign within Member Portal (Most Efficient Approach)

1. Go to Member Portal (formerly Client Zone / Student Zone).
2. Log in to your account. If this is your first time using Member Portal, please click here to view instructions for registering your new account.

If you already have a Client Zone / Student Zone account, you do not need to register for a Member Portal account. Simply log in to Member Portal using your Client Zone / Student Zone login details.

3. Click "Claims and Appeals" in the main navigation menu.
4. Click “Submit New Claim Via DocuSign” button under the “Claimant’s Statement and Authorization Form” subheader in the “File a Claim” section and follow the instructions.

For more extensive step-by-step instructions, including screenshots, please see our Claims Guide.

Don’t Have Access to the Claims and Appeals Page? If you noted that you are not the insured or the insured’s legal guardian, you will see the Protected Health Information Authorization page in place of the Claims and Appeals page. Enter the insured’s email address and click “Send Request.” Once the insured has completed and submitted our HIPAA form, you will gain access to the Claims and Appeals page and have the ability to submit a claim within 3-5 days.

By Mail

1. Download the Claimant's Statement and Authorization form. (Click here to download the form in Spanish.)

Important Note for Students
For eligibility purposes, you must submit the following along with a Claimant's Statement and Authorization form:

- A copy of your education-related visa (F-1, J-1, OPT, etc.) or valid I-20/DS2019
- Proof of full-time student status (not necessary if submitting a valid F-1 visa including OPT, or J-1 visa)

Can I Submit a Claim on Behalf of Someone Else?

Yes, you may submit a claim on behalf of someone else, but you must fill out the section of the Claimant's Statement and Authorization form labeled "Supplement D - Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information" - also known as the HIPAA form. We must have a completed copy of this form signed by the policyholder if you wish to speak with us regarding any of the policyholder's Protected Health Information (PHI). Without this signed form, we may only disclose to you the status of the claim. If you have already submitted a claim and you did not complete this section OR if WorldTrips has requested that you submit the Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (HIPPA), you do not need to fill out another claim form.

How Do I Submit the Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (HIPPA Form) If I Did Not Complete This Section of the Claim Form?

If you have already submitted a claim on behalf of someone else and did not complete this section OR if WorldTrips has requested that you submit the Authorization Form for Use and/or Disclosure of Protected Health Information (HIPAA), you do not need to fill out another claim form. You can submit the HIPAA form separately in one of the following ways:

Electronically via Member Portal

  1. Go to Member Portal.
  2. Log in to your account. If this is your first time using Member Portal, please click here to view instructions for registering your new account.
