If you purchase $10,000 or more of Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance, you are eligible for MetLife's Travel Assistance. The payroll premium for $10,000 of AD&D coverage is $.14 (14 cents) per month. Participants have access to assistance when faced with an emergency while traveling internationally or domestically when more than 100 miles away from home.
MetLife provides worldwide medical, travel, concierge, legal and financial assistance services through Travel Assistance which includes:
- medical referrals and appointments with English speaking doctors, dentists and specialists (over 600,000 pre-qualified providers in more than 238 countries)

As long as the service provided is covered, you will not have to pay the provider upfront and then look for reimbursement.
In most instances the employee will be relying on AXA to help arrange the services and AXA and the vendor work out the payment arrangements. The Maximum Benefit Amount is 100% of covered expenses up to $200,000 per Eligible Person per trip. Learn more by reading the MetLife Travel Assistance brochure.
