Why Buy Travel Insurance?
The answer is simple. International travel involves risk. You may arrive at your destination only to find that your luggage with valuable personal items has disappeared, a personal emergency may necessitate your early return to your Home Country, or a medical emergency may necessitate hospitalization or even air evacuation. In most cases, your existing insurance will not provide adequate protection to you for these and other risks involved with international travel. Without appropriate travel insurance, you can be exposed to significant financial liability. The Atlas Professional was designed to take the risk out of international travel, so that you can have an enjoyable and productive trip.

Am I Eligible For The Atlas Series?
 
      If you travel outside of your Home Country, and you maintain medical insurance that covers you while you are in your Home Country, you are eligible for Atlas Professional.
If you are under age 70, the Overall Maximum Limit is $1,000,000. If you are age 70 to 79, the Overall Maximum Limit is $50,000. If you are age 80 or older, the Overall Maximum Limit is $10,000.
