Question:
What if I am hospitalized overseas for a period of time that exceeds the termination date of my policy?
Answer:
Your medical treatment benefits will continue until the earlier of the date the confinement ends or 31 days after the insurance terminates. Thus, You will be covered while you are in a hospital or need medical evacuation while outside the U.S. for as long as you are confined up to 31 days after your policy ends.

- Maintenance medical care also includes medications prescribed for chronic and/or long-term medical conditions or Rx taken on an ongoing basis.

Question:
I am over 36 weeks of gestation with my pregnancy, can you cover me for complications of pregnancy?
Answer:
- If you have a U.S. health insurance plan while you are overseas and need coverage for complications (complications means life of baby or mother is in danger of being lost – this is all based on what the doctor states) of pregnancy then the Voyager Choice works best for you.
- Please keep in mind that any other complications of pregnancy are not covered and this does not include any birthing or anything related to maternity coverage. The only time Voyager Choice will cover your pregnancy is if your baby and/or the life of you (the mom) is in danger of passing on and that is all based on the doctors statements.
- There is no time limit. Thus, this benefit will cover up to the time you deliver (but not the delivery) if there is a complication (see right above) of your pregnancy.
