The vast majority of Emergency Travel Medical policies are not providing coverage for COVID-19-related medical expenses while traveling abroad, especially with government advisories in place warning against international travel.
Goose & MSH's new COVID-19 Pandemic policy addresses this gap in travel insurance policies.
- Obtain a quote in about 60 seconds via the Goose mobile app (for smartphones & tablets).
- It is an annual policy with a single premium based on your age and smoking status and covers you for unlimited trips during the year.
- You can take off as often as you want throughout the year on trips of up to 30 days each.
- Extensions of coverage are available for longer trips upon request and for an additional premium. (You currently need to speak with a Goose Agent to add any extensions for trips longer than 30 days. The total trip length maximum is 180 days.)
- Includes coverage for Quarantine expenses following a positive COVID-19 diagnosis while traveling (up to $200/day, to a maximum of $2,800) for meals and accommodations.
- Also provides Trip Cancellation & Trip Interruption coverage up to $2,500 per person, per trip! (max $10,000 per family, covers COVID-related reasons only)
- Insurance is underwritten by Lloyd's, and claims are administered by MSH International Ltd.
How It Works
If an insured traveler (from 15 days old up to 74 years of age) contracts COVID-19 while traveling outside of the United States and needs emergency medical care as a result, this policy provides up to $500,000 to pay for those eligible medical expenses. The $500k coverage limit is per insured traveler, per trip, and covers you anywhere in the world outside of the United States.
Additionally, this policy will provide coverage against other pandemics that may arise in the future.
This can be purchased on an individual basis or as a Family plan (minimum 3 people, with up to 2 adults over the age of 18 and at least 1 child under 21).
PLEASE NOTE that this does not provide coverage for non-COVID-related emergency medical expenses - you'll still need an Emergency Travel Medical insurance policy to cover other events that might occur during your trip, like food poisoning, broken bones, heart attacks, etc.
Like all insurance policies, certain conditions and exclusions apply. These can be found by reviewing the policy wording here. Get this policy TODAY in the Goose mobile app - safe travels!
