The Premise Behind BETA
While our private domestic health insurance policies usually provide us with international* coverage, they do not provide an emergency support system for people traveling abroad.
BETA is that emergency support system.It can be called an international supplementto a domestic health insurance policy.
* Check with your insurance carrier.

Foreign Travel Situation
If, while traveling in Mexico at 3 a.m., on a Sunday morning you wake up with severe stomach pain, where will you get help?
Will you be able to arrange for a physician or hospital?
What if your condition requires a medical evacuation?

BETA – The Issue
Most people travel abroad without knowing
how to access qualified physicians or
medical facilities.
In the face of a major accident or illness,
they are unprepared financially or
psychologically to deal with the crisis.
