Applicants may choose to apply for the Patriot plan after their trip has begun – which is OK; In this case, coverage will not be effective until the application has been approved and you have paid the applicable premium.
You can change the start and end date for your plan at any time prior to the current start date without any penalty. There may be an extra charge if your total number of days traveling is more than you initially purchased.
The plan administrator, IMG, will refund your premium if your policy is canceled prior to the start of your trip. Otherwise, you may request a cancellation after the trip has begun but, depending on the policy, the reason for cancellation and the timing of your request, your request may be denied.
Once your policy has been approved, you will be provided with instructions on how to handle a sickness. In general, you need to contact the plan administrator right away using the information provided on your insurance card. They can help you locate a qualified doctor and facilitate the treatment.
