why you need international coverage?
Each year, millions of people travel internationally throughout the world. While many of them may have medical coverage when traveling outside their Home Country, few will have the proper coverage for an emergency medical evacuation. Liaison® Traveler is designed to offer Emergency Medical Evacuation, Repatriation of Mortal Remains, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, and other incidental coverage and services for persons traveling outside their Home Country.

This brochure is a brief description of Liaison Traveler. A complete description is contained in the Program Summary, which will be mailed with your ID Card after Seven Corners receives your completed application and correct premium.

Home Country (or Country of Residence) is defined as - The country where an eligible person(s) has his/her true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment, and to which he/she has the intention of returning.
