Though we’re not here to plan your trip, we help plan for the unexpected. When medical emergencies like illness or injury occur during travel, TravelAssist gets to work getting you the help you need and covering the associated costs. TravelAssist is ready to step in at any time to locate the appropriate medical care, coordinate transportation solutions, and help RV owners get their rig home.
Travel insurance will typically pay for losses that occur while traveling—like trip cancellation or lost baggage. TravelAssist covers emergency medical repatriation and transportation expenses most health insurance plans don't pay.
Once enrolled, you will receive a Welcome Kit with your official TravelAssist identification card and a Plan Description explaining all the services available, including any terms, conditions, and limitations. Keep your I.D. card on your person. It lists the toll-free hotline number. You may want to store the number in your cell phone so it's ready at the push of a button should you need it. If you have an emergency, call 9-1-1 first, and then call the TravelAssist toll-free number. We'll take it from there, and you’ll start to see TravelAssist benefits in action.
Anyone who travels can use TravelAssist—RV or not.

This is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the location and the patient's sspecific condition and medical needs. Members will only be moved to another hospital when care at the first hospital is not appropriate or when the patient is stable enough for transportation home in an Economy Class seat. TravelAssist's medical team will make this determination after reviewing medical reports and possible consultation with the treating physician.
