Patriot Executive®, a complete assistance package of international benefits and 24 hour availability, is for executives traveling outside their home country throughout the year. It is ideal for executives who are employed by a multi-national company, are covered by an individual or group medical plan while in their home country, and are frequent travelers outside their home country.


With Patriot Executive, you purchase coverage for a period of one year and select a maximum trip duration of 30 days on your enrollment form. You are then covered during that year, up to US$1,000,000 in medical coverage for you and your family in accordance with the terms of the plan, for the selected trip duration of each trip you take outside the country of your citizenship beginning on the date of departure for each trip.
