This plan will not cover any expenses due to pre-existing conditions (except as defined in the certificate wording), preventive care/routine check-ups, or maternity; for complete details of exclusions, please refer to the certificate wording.

Safe Travels Outbound provides coverage anywhere outside the U.S., including travel time. It also provides travel related benefits such as trip interruption and trip delay.
How much is covered?
First, you will pay your chosen deductible once per policy period. In states Pennsylvania and Missouri, the deductible is $250. In all other states, the deductible options vary from $0 to $2,500.
After the deductible is met, the plan pays up to your selected policy maximum - available policy maximum options vary by age:
- 69 and under: $50,000 $100,000, $250,000 and $500,000
- 70-79: $50,000 and $100,000
- 80 and older: $50,000
In the state of Pennsylvania only, ages 70 and older will have all the policy maximum options of $50,000, $100,000, $250,000, and $500,000.
Example:
For both examples, let us assume that you purchased 2 months of coverage with a $50,000 policy maximum and a $250 deductible.
In this scenario, you're visiting a doctor for a new injury.
The first time you visit the doctor, the doctor charges $150. You will pay $150 for your first visit. The insurance plan does not pay anything yet, because you haven't satisfied your $250 deductible.
The second time you visit the doctor, the doctor again charges $150. This time, you will pay $100 and the insurance company will pay the remaining $50.
If you visit the doctor again, the insurance company will pay 100% up to your selected policy maximum.
In this scenario, you were in an accident and hospitalized for 2 days.
The hospital is charging $15,000 for each day of hospitalization, which totals $30,000. Of the $30,000 charge, you will pay your deductible of $250 first, then insurance plan will pay the rest.
