Hallmark Channel Features Good Neighbor Insurance and Travel Insurance for Seniors

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Good Neighbor Insurance has created a segment on travel insurance for seniors that will air on Hallmark June 1st at 7:30am (6:30am CST), with reruns airing on the Hallmark Movie Channel Thursday, June 3rd at 7:30am, Sunday, June 6th at 5:30am and Monday, June 7th at 5:30am. 

 Good Neighbor Insurance has specific travel insurance for seniors.  These plans include:

  • Medical Evacuation
  • Coverage for Pre-Existing Conditions
  • Trip Cancellation and Interruption
  • Baggage loss and dely
  • Emergency reunion visit by a family member should a senior be hospitalized overseas
  • Return of mortal remains

Heart attacks and accidents are the most common causes of overseas medical emergencies. If seniors have medical emergencies while outside the USA, the State Department cannot pay to bring them home. Domestic health insurance policies and premium credit card programs will not cover the high cost of medical evacuation, often costing more than $50,000. 

Boomers need to be aware of the fact that they will need medical evacuation insurance even for cruise-liners. You may view our Boomer travel options by going to www.gninsurance.com/boomer/ .

Medicare won’t cover most medical expenses outside the United States. Medicare Part D coverage for prescriptions also stops at our border. 

Active seniors engaging in extreme or contact sports will need to purchase a sports rider.  Rock climbing, hot air balloons, kayaking, surfing and many other sports will need the additional coverage that a sports rider gives.

While insurance won’t prevent accidents from happening, it will ease financial and emotional burdens placed on seniors and their families. Help is just a collect phone call away, no matter what time of day or day of week. Access to board certified medical personnel and language translation services – along with a whole host of concierge services – is available at all times.
