What does INF’s travel insurance cover?

Depending on the plan selected, INF’s plans provide a range of comprehensive coverage options, including:

  • Emergency medical expenses (hospitalization, doctor visits, prescriptions)
  • Acute onset of pre-existing conditions (for eligible plans)
  • Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation
  • Trip interruption, trip delay, and lost luggage

Who is eligible for INF’s travel insurance?
  • INF travel insurance plans are specifically designed for non-U.S. residents. Coverage is also available for individuals who hold a U.S. green card, provided their primary residence is outside the United States.

Home country/citizenship restrictions: INF plans are not available to residents or citizens of the following countries: the USA, Syria, Iran, Russia, North Korea, and Cuba.

Please note that HOP! Advantage, HOP! Prestige, and Safevista Protect are also not available to residents or citizens of the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, and the European Union.

Can I purchase INF’s travel insurance after arriving in the U.S.?
  • INF’s travel insurance plans should be purchased before arrival in your destination country. Coverage will begin on the effective date you select—usually your departure date or another date you choose during the purchase process. Please see below for details: the “waiting”/ “cooling off” period which applies to certain plans.
Is there a waiting period for coverage to begin?
  • Not all plans have a waiting period before coverage begins; however, some may. For example, for both Safevista Protect and INF Elite, a 5-day waiting period applies. This means that any sickness, whether known or unknown to the Covered Person, that requires immediate medical attention within 5 days of the policy effective date, will not be covered. Please consult the details of your policy.
What languages does INF support?
  • INF provides customer service in Mandarin and English; all policy documents are delivered in English. Claims support can be provided in the following languages through our Claims Administrator, Robin Assist: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Arabic, Mandarin, and Portuguese.

Do INF plans cover pregnancy?
  • INF plans do not provide coverage for pregnancy. Certain pregnancy-related services may be covered; depending on the specific plan, consult your policy for details related to coverage and exclusions.
What is a pre-existing medical condition?
  • A pre-existing condition is an illness, disease, or other medical condition of the covered person for which medical advice, diagnosis, care, monitoring or treatment was recommended or received from a Doctor, and/or which would have caused a reasonably prudent person to seek medical attention, before the Covered Person’s coverage became effective under the Policy, whether disclosed or not on the Covered Person’s application or online enrollment.
Does INF cover pre-existing conditions?
  • Yes, many of our plans cover pre-existing conditions and acute onset of a pre-existing condition.
What does the Acute Onset of a Pre-Existing Condition mean in terms of coverage?
  • To qualify as an acute onset, the issue must happen without warning, worsen quickly, and require emergency care within 24 to 48 hours. In other words, if a dormant condition suddenly causes a medical emergency while traveling, this type of travel medical insurance may protect you from surprising medical costs.

Typical benefits include:

  • Emergency treatment
  • Hospitalization
  • Surgeries
  • Ambulance transport
  • ER visits
  • Prescription medications
Can I cancel my policy?
  • Yes. You may cancel your INF insurance policy before the policy’s effective date. However, once the policy becomes effective, cancellation is no longer permitted, and no refund or credit will be issued for any unused portion of the policy.
Who are INF's underwriters?
  • The underwriters for INF insurance plans are Crum & Forster, SPC, and Sirius Point.
What are the plan exclusions?
  • Exclusions vary by plan; be sure to consult your policy for a full list of the detailed exclusions.
Can I submit claims online?
  • Yes, you can log in to the Member Portal and file an online claim. Navigate to the “Active Plans” section of the Portal and click the “File a Claim” option.
What documents are required to file a claim?
  • Consult our Claims overview page and your policy for specific details on what is required.
Who is covered under my plan?
  • Your plan provides coverage for the individual(s) whose names are listed on the policy at the time of purchase. This includes the primary insured and can include any additional dependents you may have added to the plan. Each Insured will have their own benefits as outlined in the policy.
Am I eligible to purchase an INF plan if I’m in the process of getting my green card or if I am an international student?
  • Yes, you may purchase up to 364 days worth of coverage.
Can OCI card holders purchase INF plans?
  • Yes, you may purchase a plan as an OCI card holder as long as you are able to prove that you are a permanent resident outside the U.S.

Claims and Post-Purchase Questions

Understanding benefits and how to file a claim.

My travel plans have changed. How can I change my plan coverage dates?
  • You may only change the start of your travel date before the policy becomes effective. After the policy is active, the start date cannot be modified.
What happens if my trip duration is cut shorter than the original planned?
  • If your trip is cut short, you may be eligible to file a Trip Interruption claim under your travel insurance policy; consult your policy for details and confirm coverage. It’s important to note that this claim is not a reimbursement of the policy premium, but a reimbursement of certain non-refundable expenses or additional costs incurred due to an unexpected early return.
What is the Trip Interruption Benefit?
  • The Trip Interruption Benefit is a travel assistance benefit that helps cover costs if your trip is unexpectedly cut short due to a covered reason such as personal accident/sickness, or the death of an immediate family member while you are on your trip.
What is Trip Cancellation?
  • The Trip Cancellation Benefit is a travel assistance benefit that helps cover costs if your trip is canceled due to a covered reason such as personal accident/sickness, or the death of an immediate family member before your trip begins.

The coverage applies only if cancellation is caused by: A medical emergency affecting you or an immediate family member, death, serious illness, or injury to an Immediate family member, severe weather, natural disasters, or government travel restrictions, and airline or transport provider cancellations due to mechanical failure or strikes.
