HTH Insurance Plans
Founded in 1997 as Highway To Health, Inc., HTH Worldwide has grown to become the leading provider of primary health insurance for international students at U.S. universities and an innovator in online healthcare information, medical assistance and insurance services for leisure and business travelers around the globe. HTH offers a full range of individual and group specialty health insurance programs, all of which include HTH's Global Health and Safety Services.
HTH Worldwide Insurance Services is a fully licensed insurance broker and administrator and a subsidiary of HTH Worldwide. HTH also owns a Bermuda-based captive reinsurance company, HTH Re, which assumes the risk for many of HTH's insurance products. The company maintains its home office in Radnor, PA.
HTH currently serves over 150,000 international students and international exchange program participants as well as over 100,000 leisure and business travelers annually.
All HTH markets share the same unmet need -- travelers inevitably experience medical problems abroad and have extraordinary difficulty arranging quality healthcare services or resolving emergency medical situations. The lack of knowledge of local physicians and hospitals is compounded by insurance coverage that shrinks or disappears when international borders are crossed.
HTH addresses this need with valuable research, innovative services, a contracted international network of physicians, and health insurance programs designed to replace inappropriate products or to fill gaps in coverage.
Taken together, HTH Worldwide markets represent $10-15 billion annually in health and trip protection insurance premiums and hold even larger potential as international travel expands and travelers learn the limits of their knowledge and insurance coverage.
- Strength of a U.S. Underwriter. HTH insists on partnering with admitted U.S. carriers. Our travel medical plans are underwritten by UNICARE Life & Health Insurance Company, a WellPoint Health Networks company. Wellpoint is one of the nation's largest health insurance companies. Our trip protection plans are underwritten by Stonebridge Casualty insurance Company and Monumental General Casualty Company, owned by AEGON. AEGON is one of the largest property and casualty companies in the world.
- Better Coverage. HTH's plans have met the standards of state regulators and feature coverage more generous than plans sold as "excess coverage" by non-admitted insurers. For example, HTH's plans exclude coverage for conditions that existed 180 days prior to the purchase of the plan (this exclusion is waived on TravelGap Multi trip and can be waived on TripProtector plans if you buy within 14 days of your initial trip deposit). Non-admitted plans often exclude coverage for conditions that existed within 3 or even 5 years before the purchase. Our plans do not exclude illnesses or injuries resulting from a terrorist act: a standard exclusion on competing plans.
- More Affordable. HTH's trip protection plans are more reasonably priced than other policies. Our travel medical prices are based on your number of travel days. Other travel medical plans force you to buy coverage in 15-day increments. We allow you to buy what you need and save (7 day minimum applies).
- Highest Standards of Service. Every aspect of HTH insurance programs is designed to meet the highest expectation for quality and service. HTH consistently applies stringent criteria when contracting with doctors and hospitals. Less than 2% of medical providers abroad qualify to participate in our provider community.
- Recognized Leader. HTH Worldwide is a leader in international health insurance and assistance, selling plans to over 130,000 travelers annually.
- Global Health and Safety Resources: Our plans are the most comprehensive because they combine insurance with services designed to help you manage health and safety threats as well as identify and access quality healthcare overseas. After all, what good is insurance if you can’t find a doctor or hospital you can trust? That’s why we developed a complete array of Global Health and Safety Resources to give you the peace of mind you deserve.
HTH Travel Insurance and its parent HTH Worldwide (HTH) apply internet expertise to bring innovative online healthcare services and insurance to international travel, study and commerce. Each year thousands of leisure and business travelers as well as international students and scholars protect themselves, their families and their travel plans with HTH. The programs combine comprehensive, competitively priced insurance products with critical travel health information, security information and online medical assistance services. Members enjoy access to HTH's community of contracted physicians in more than 160 countries, HTH's interactive translation guides for brand name pharmaceuticals and common medical terms and phrases, featured articles on dozens of travel-health topics and up-to-date health and security news.
HTH Worldwide serves both the international traveler and the sponsors of international travel such as employers, universities, tour and cruise operators and affinity groups. HTH provides exceptional service via toll-free multi-lingual customer support and its proprietary web-based administrative capabilities. Through its HTH Worldwide Insurance Services subsidiary, HTH administers its insurance products and delivers medical assistance services in cooperation with assistance partners.
