The Good: No limit on number of trips; includes 24 hour travel assistance services.
The Drawbacks: This plan has no coverage for AD&D and excludes open tickets.
The Bottom Line: This is a basic travel medical plan to cover an individual for multiple trips throughout the year. It includes some additional package-like benefits to round out the coverage, but the focus is on travel medical and evacuation.
