Understanding Your Market. Exceeding Your Expectations.
It is rare to find an insurance provider that offers flexible, specialized products and associated services for the marine industry. It is rarer still to find a company with the dedication, resources and ability to professionally administer health care benefits and deliver claims cost containment on a global basis. However, we understand the unique needs of marine crew professionals. In fact, we have an entire marine division dedicated to serving those in this important business segment.
Our team has provided specialized insurance programs for captains, officers and crew members. One such program is the International Marine Medical InsuranceSM (IMMI) plan. This customizable plan offers comprehensive medical coverage to groups of two or more marine crew professionals who live and work aboard ocean-going vessels.
The IMMI program, coupled with our expertise in marine claims, medical management and international assistance services, will help you and your crew members properly prepare for sudden injury or illness that occur while on assignment. But we provide more than just insurance; we provide the Global Peace of Mind® marine crew professionals deserve, backed by a team of professionals committed to being there when you need us.

Medical Management Without BoundariesSM
The ability to access quality health care is essential when a medical emergency arises abroad. From routine medical care and check-ups to complex case management and medical evacuations, we are there to offer our expertise and unique blend of services, including:
Medical Travel Management
The Medical Travel Management benefit offers the member who is contemplating non-emergency medical treatment in the United States the opportunity to be financially compensated for having that care rendered by a qualified medical provider(s) outside of the U.S.
First, a designated nurse case manager will evaluate the cost effectiveness of an international medical travel case to assess whether the minimum savings required can be achieved as defined by the plan. The case manager will then assist the member in identifying a qualified medical provider to provide the specified care, while also negotiating medical fees. Upon approval, the case manager will coordinate the necessary services including patient care, travel, scheduling, and housing. The case manager will also assist with coordination of a medical follow-up visit upon returning home, when needed.
When treatment is received outside of the U.S. and there is cost savings greater than $10,000 to the plan, the member will personally share in any cost savings that are realized. The cost savings are calculated using the average U.S. cost of the medical service compared to the actual cost of the medical procedure and associated medical travel costs performed by the non-U.S.-based provider(s).
International Comprehensive Care Management
Critically ill or injured crew have enough to worry about—let IMG ease the administrative workload and communications that come with complex international medical case management. Our experienced medical management team can assist with meeting the patient's health and care needs to deliver the best possible outcome. Our medical staff will help coordinate care for your members who have highly complex cases requiring detailed management. These services may include assisting with:
