The Atlas International plan from HCC Medical Insurance Services (HCCMIS) is with you almost anywhere on the planet you may travel for vacations, studying abroad, corporate travel, mission trips and extreme sports adventures.
Many times the primary medical insurance in your home country will not cover you while traveling abroad and often will not provide important services, perhaps essential ones, in the event of an illness or injury. Atlas International includes these essentials such as translation assistance while being treated, doctor and hospital referrals, and assistance replacing lost prescriptions.
Whatever your reason, international travel should be a pleasant experience. Complications and emergencies such as illness, injury, and natural disasters are a fact of life. While we hope none of these happen, we're here to help if they do. Atlas International helps protect you from potential financial disaster while traveling abroad with benefits including inpatient and outpatient medical expenses, $500,000 of coverage for emergency medical evacuation, coverage for lost checked baggage, and many other important benefits. Atlas International gives you the peace-of-mind you're looking for!
