Why Buy Travel Insurance?
            The answer is easy. Whether you travel for business or pleasure, international travel involves risk. You may arrive at your destination to find that your luggage with personal items has disappeared. A personal emergency may necessitate your early return to your Home Country. A medical emergency may require hospitalization or even air evacuation. In most cases, your existing insurance will not provide adequate protection for these and other risks. Without appropriate travel insurance, you may be exposed to significant financial liability. MultiNational Underwriters, Inc. has designed The Atlas Series to take the risks out of international travel, so you can have an enjoyable and productive trip.

When Does Coverage Become Effective and When Does It End?
            Your coverage becomes effective on the latest of: the date we receive your Application and correct premium, the moment you depart from your Home Country, or the date you request on your Application. Your coverage will end on the earliest of: the end of the period for which you have paid a premium, the date requested on your Application, or the moment of your arrival upon return to your Home Country (unless you have started a Benefit Period or are eligible for Home Country Coverage under the Atlas Extra plan).

Does The Atlas Series Provide Any Home Country Coverage?
            Yes. Under certain circumstances, the Atlas Series will provide limited Home Country Coverage. If you purchase the Atlas Series for at least 3 months, and you purchase the Incidental Home Country Rider, you are covered for medical expenses only during one Incidental trip to your Home Country of up to 10 days. If you have started a Benefit Period while your insurance under the Atlas Series was in effect, you are covered for medical expenses only for the duration of the Benefit Period, regardless of whether you are at home or abroad. Your Benefit Period begins on the date of a covered Illness or Injury, and lasts for 180 days. If you have purchased Atlas Extra and have maintained coverage for at least 6 months, the plan provides Home Country Coverage for up to 30 days if the insurance is maintained and premiums are paid.

How is "Home Country" Defined?
            If you are a US citizen, your Home Country is the United States, regardless of the location of your Principal Residence. If you are not a US citizen, your Home Country is the country where you principally reside and receive regular mail.

Back to the menu
 
Which Plan Should I Purchase?
            If you are a US citizen traveling abroad for 6 months or less, you should purchase Atlas International. If you are a non-US citizen traveling outside your Home Country for 6 months or less, you should purchase Atlas America. Regardless of your citizenship, if you are planning on traveling for 6 months or more, you should purchase Atlas Extra.
