2018 Benefit Change: Emergency Evacuation Benefit – No Longer Required
Please note that the only Benefit Change in 2018-19 is that an Emergency Medical Evacuation Insurance is NO LONGER REQUIRED by any PSC-USAID contracted employees. The State Department will take care of all of these services (contact Andrew Hall for more information at ahall@usaid.gov). All of our global medical plans do have Emergency Medical Evacuation which can not be carved out. The State Department’s Plan would be primary in case of an emergency.

More on the WEA Signature Series:
We are offering the Signature Series CARE, SELECT and ELITE plan options for you and your family to consider. The Elite Plan with a $500-$1000 annual deductible is very popular. The Medical underwriting process is fair and happens quickly in most cases. Medical notes may be required. The main requirement is that the plan start date must be the day a member departs the States or their home country. If the member is presently abroad or outside of the USA at the start date, then all is satisfied.
The member would simply use their overseas address and pinpoint a start date of the 1st or 15th of the month in the application. We encourage all to apply online through the link below. The site is safe and protected. Use of an embassy or consulate street address is sufficient to meet this Non USA requirement, we can always update the system with longer term global address at a late time. Participants can use a U.S. address, including DPO/APO address, for credit card payments. Member kits and cards will be sent via e-mail only. A member must have a Non – USA address and live outside of the States for at least 6 months out of the year. The rates are annual not monthly and we highly recommend the ELITE plan with Dental. USA
Through United Healthcare, the plan offers a vast USA PPO national network, prescriptions at most pharmacies, Med-Evac coverage, etc. If you have questions, it is best to consult with our office prior to purchasing the plan. We are glad to set up a time to discuss the plan benefits at no charge (Skype of Tele). We do not recommend the CARE plan due to low reimbursement levels for Inpatient and Emergency Care in the States. In addition to 100% Global Coverage (90% to first $5,000 in the USA), Maternity Coverage, and the US Healthcare PPO Network in the States, the Elite plan offers a Dental & Vision plan, therefore we recommend this at as a “top pick.”
