MyGlobalShield ^TM does offer medical expense coverage in your home country in the following situations:4

Benefit Period

While the certificate is in effect, the benefit period does not apply. Upon termination of the certificate, including when you return to your home country, the benefit period applies for up to 90 days only to eligible medical expenses directly related to an injury or illness that was diagnosed or treated while the certificate was in effect. The benefit period begins on the first day of diagnosis or treatment of a covered injury or illness made while you are outside your home country. The benefit period applies whether or not you return to your home country.

Incidental Home Country Coverage

You must have purchased three months of coverage for the Incidental Home Country Coverage to be in effect.

For individuals with the U.S. as a home country:  For every three-month period during which you are covered hereunder, eligible medical expenses incurred in the U.S. are covered up to a maximum of 15 days.

For individuals with a home country other than the U.S.:  For every three-month period during which you are covered hereunder, eligible medical expenses incurred in your home country are covered up to a maximum of 30 days.

Should you make a change to the location of your home country during the certificate period, you must notify us of such change within fifteen (15) days. Your new home country will govern the terms of any home country or incidental home country coverage.

Any benefit accrued under a sin­gle three-month period does not accumulate to another period. Failure to continue your international trip or you returning to your home country for the sole purpose of obtaining treatment for an illness or injury that began while traveling shall void any incidental home country coverage.
