Companion Life Insurance, which offers dental insurance to employer groups across the U.S., has implemented a program to provide its dental policyholders who travel with emergency assistance services.
Effective immediately, all of Companion Life's dental insureds whose coverage is insured and administered by the company are entitled to the emergency assistance services offered by Assist America if they become ill or injured while traveling 100 miles or more away from home, or in another country.
Policyholders are automatically enrolled at no extra charge, and coverage is in effect during personal and business travel, according to the company.
Assist America's services include medical referral and monitoring, emergency medical evacuation, repatriation, hospital admission guarantee, prescription assistance, child care arrangements, companion transport, and more.
Companion Life is the first national dental carrier to team with Assist America. In addition to Assist America's services, Companion Life's dental insureds also receive a hearing services plan and vision care discounts at no additional charge.
