Medical travel assistance

Our 24-hour emergency travel assistance service organises the help you need worldwide any time of day or night. The travel assistance service assumes the costs of your return trip and search and rescue costs. Plus, if you should be hospitalised for a long period, the service will also organise round-trip travel for someone close to you to serve as a support person.

What is insured?

Medical travel assistance offers you round-the-clock assistance in case of a medical emergency during your trip abroad. In addition to the organisation of assistance, insured services also include cost coverage for:

Return trip, return transport or repatriation
Transfer to a suitable hospital
Medical treatment abroad (not covered by health or accident insurance)
Follow-up costs for recovery in country of residence

If you go missing during a trip or need to be physically rescued from an emergency situation, the costs for search, rescue and recovery will be covered.

In an emergency, please call +41 22 939 22 11.
