How many short-term teams go outside their home countries every year? One USA mission in 1996 sent at least 75,000 short-termers. Many sending churches and missions want coverage for these teams, coverage that includes medical evacuation insurance and catastrophic protection.
Several insurance companies are set up to cover teams, especially if there are a good number of teams being sent out in any given year. We have been able to write short-term team insurance coverage for as low as $1.10 a day per person. The variables of course determine the rate, e.g., average age of the team member, length of the trip, number in each team, number of teams sent in a year, maximum coverage, and deductible. One of the reasons missions and churches want coverage is because they don’t want to be libel for any injuries. Also, all are aware of the great cost of medical evacuation. The cost of medical evacuating someone back to their home country or to good medical care is generally somewhere between $25,000 to $75,000. If you send one or more teams and would like a quote on how much it would cost to cover your team, please contact us.
