Emergency Assistance Plus
Getting sick or injured is never a pleasant experience. And if you're traveling away from home when it happens—in a place you don't know, with medical professionals you've never met—it's even worse.
Wouldn't it be great if in those moments you had someone constantly looking after your best interests? Somebody on your side who would help make sure you get the proper medical care, get it quickly, and get you back home if necessary?
That's exactly what you'll get with Emergency Assistance Plus® (EA+®). You can think of EA+ as your personal medical support team on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from any place in the world.
And, because you're an ACS member, you can get this peace of mind for over 30% off the retail price! Register today to lock in your rate before any possible price increase.
Plan Highlights
- Medical evacuation and transportation home: If you can't get the appropriate care at the hospital you are at, EA+ will arrange transportation by ground or even air ambulance to a more appropriate hospital if deemed medically necessary. And, once you're able to return home, EA+ will help get you there. Plus, if you were to pass away while traveling away from home, EA+ will bring you home with speed and dignity.
- Medical assistance: EA+ will monitor your care from start to finish to ensure you're getting the care you need. EA+ is not an insurance product. However, EA+ will help navigate insurance and payments if necessary.
- Assistance for companions: If you are traveling alone and become hospitalized, EA+ will provide one round-trip economy-class ticket for anyone you choose to come to your bedside. And if you have kids with you and the kids would be left alone due to your hospitalization, EA+ will get them home.
- Travel assistance: If your documented medical emergency stops you from driving your vehicle back home, EA+ will get it home for you. And if your luggage, passports, or visas go astray, EA+ will help track them down or get replacements.
