How Much Does a Patriot Travel Medical Insurance Plan Cost?
The premiums for the Patriot Travel Medical Insurance Plan (for anyone traveling in a country other than the U.S.) and the Patriot America plan (for non-U.S. citizens traveling to the United States) are based on your age, the maximum limit you choose and the deductible you choose.
All of the premiums displayed on this page are based on a $250 deductible. A deductible is the amount you will need to pay out of pocket before IMG begins to pay for covered services. There are several deductible options available to you, including $0. If your deductible is higher, then your premium will be lower and vice-versa. The deductible is payable per policy period if and when you need to seek medical treatment. If you want to check what the premium would cost with a different deductible, you can retrieve a free IMG Patriot Plan quote or contact our customer support team.
