Have you ever had that uncomfortable feeling that you’ve overlooked something important?
If your client buys, sells or travels outside of the United Sates or Canada, you may have very good reason to be uneasy. Not only do most US policies have significant coverage restrictions relative to activities outside of the US and Canada, customers traveling abroad often find themselves in tenuous situations where assistance is needed. These could include the need for medical assistance, repatriation, evacuation/extraction, kidnap & ransom negotiations, terrorist threats, or simply travel emergencies. Colemont’s Foreign Package program may be the answer.
