Emergencies. They're bad enough when they happen at home.
It's tricky enough dealing with a medical emergency on your own turf. But things can get really complicated if it happens while you're traveling, especially if you're overseas. Just imagine if

  • your child develops an ear infection while you're on vacation;
  • you run out of diabetes medication at an out-of-town conference;
  • you have a serious car wreck on a business trip overseas; or
  • you suffer an appendicitis attack while you are out of the country or a 100 miles or more from home.

Fortunately, through your Unum insurance coverage, you, your spouse, and your dependent children[1] now have immediate access to the nation's largest travel assistance provider whether you are out of the country or 100 miles or more from home. And that's comforting.
