Only such expenses, incurred as the result of a disablement, which are specifically enumerated in the following list of charges, and which are not excluded in the Exclusions, shall be considered as Covered Expenses:

1.         Charges made by a Hospital for room and board, floor nursing and other services inclusive of charges for professional service and with the exception of personal services of a non-medical nature; provided, however, that expenses do not exceed the Hospital's average charge for semiprivate room and board accommodation.

2.         Charges made for Intensive Care or Coronary Care charges and nursing services.

3.         Charges made for diagnosis, treatment and Surgery by a Physician.

4.         Charges made for an operating room.

7.         Charges for medication, x-ray services, laboratory tests and services, the use of radium and radioactive isotopes, oxygen, blood, transfusions, iron lungs, and medical treatment.

9.         Hotel room charge, when the Insured Person, otherwise necessarily confined in a Hospital, shall be under the care of a duly qualified Physician in a hotel room owing to unavailability of a Hospital room by reason of capacity or distance or to any other circumstances beyond control of the Insured Person.

10.        Dressings, drugs, and medicines that can only be obtained upon a written prescription of a Physician or Surgeon.

11.        Charges made for artificial limbs, eyes, larynx, and orthotic appliances, but not for replacement of such items.

Only those expenses specifically described above which are incurred within 180 days from the onset of an Injury or Illness and which are not excluded (see “Exclusions”) are considered Covered Expenses.  Initial treatment must occur within 60 days of the incident.  Illness must first manifest itself during the Period of Coverage. 

EMERGENCY MEDICAL EVACUATION / REPATRIATION 

The Company shall pay benefits for Covered Expenses incurred up to the limit as stated in the Schedule of Benefits, if any covered Injury or Illness commencing during the Period of Coverage results in the Medically Necessary Emergency Medical Evacuation or Repatriation of the Insured Person.  The Emergency Medical Evacuation or Repatriation must be ordered by the Company’s appointed Assistance Company in consultation with the Insured Person’s local attending Physician. 

Emergency Medical Evacuation or Repatriation means: a) the Insured Person's medical condition warrants immediate transportation from the place where the Insured Person is located to the nearest adequate medical facility where medical treatment can be obtained; or b)  after being treated at a local medical facility as a result of a Medical Evacuation, the Insured Person's medical condition warrants transportation with a qualified medical attendant to his/her Home Country to obtain further medical treatment or to recover; or c) both a) and b) above.  All transportation arrangements must be by the most direct and economical route. 

RETURN OF MORTAL REMAINS 

The Company will pay the reasonable Covered Expenses incurred up to the limit stated in the Schedule of Benefits to return the Insured Person's remains to his/her then current Home Country, if he or she dies. 

EMERGENCY MEDICAL REUNION 

When Emergency Medical Evacuation or Repatriation occurs, the Company will arrange and pay, up to the limit stated in the Schedule of Benefits, for round trip economy-class transportation for one individual selected by the Insured Person, from the Insured Person’s Home Country to the location where the Insured Person is hospitalized and returned to the Home Country. Emergency Medical Reunion must be recommended by the attending Physician.  The benefits payable will include: 1. The cost of a round trip economy air fare; 2. Reasonable travel and accommodation expenses (not to exceed $200 per day) incurred in relation to the maximum of $10,000.  3. The period of Emergency Medical Reunion is not to exceed 10 days, including travel.

INTERRUPTION OF TRIP 

If the Insured is unable to continue the Trip due to the death of an Immediate Family member (parent, spouse, sibling or child) or due to serious damage to the Insured's principal residence from fire, flood or similar natural disaster (tornado, earthquake, hurricane, etc.), the program will reimburse (up the amount stated in the Schedule of Benefits) the Insured for the cost of travel (economy), less the value of applied credit from an unused return travel ticket, to return home to their area of principal residence. 

LOSS OF CHECKED LUGGAGE 

If the Insured's checked luggage is permanently lost by the airline, the program will reimburse the Insured for the replacement of clothing and personal hygiene items lost to a maximum per article limit of $50 (up to the maximum stated in the Schedule of Benefits).  This benefit is secondary to any other (including airline) coverage available.  The insured must furnish proof to the Company that full reimbursement has been obtained from the airline.
