Assist America  
        Have access to qualified physicians and medical facilities when traveling away from home  
 

Most of us travel without being prepared for a medical or other emergency, or knowing how to find and obtain treatment from qualified physicians and medical facilities. That’s what makes Assist America’s Global Emergency Services so important.

The following benefits are available to Association Members at no additional cost when traveling 100 or more miles from home:
  • Medical Consultation — Calls to Assist America are evaluated by medical staff and referred to English-speaking doctors and/or hospitals.

  • Hospital Admission Guarantee — Assist America offers a hospital admission guarantee for you, your spouse and minor dependent children (if you are outside the United States) by validating your health coverage or advancing funds.

  • Emergency Evacuation — Assist America uses whatever mode of transport, equipment and medical personnel necessary to evacuate you to the nearest facility capable of providing appropriate care when adequate medical facilities are not available at your location.

  • Medical Repatriation — When medically necessary upon discharge, Assist America will arrange transport back to your home, with a medical or non-medical escort as needed.

  • Prescription Assistance — If you lose or forget a prescription medication while traveling, Assist America will help replace that prescription.

  • Compassionate Visit — If you are traveling alone and are to be hospitalized for more than seven days, Assist America will provide economy round-trip transportation to the place of hospitalization for a designated person of your choice.

  • Care of Minor Children — Assist America will provide care and/or transportation of minor dependent children who are left unattended due to the medical incident.

  • Call Assist America in the event of an emergency. Any services not arranged by Assist America will not be paid or reimbursed.

Many other services are available, including emergency trauma counseling, legal referrals, return of mortal remains and much more.
