INFORMATION, ADVICE & RESOURCES

Dedicated COVID-19 Webpage: Assist America has implemented a dedicated COVID-19 landing page, available on our website and Mobile App. From health and prevention tips, to best practices videos, latest news and a list of travel restrictions by country, the page is intended to be a go-to resource for members to learn more about the virus.
Weekly Email Updates: Each week, our team creates original content on a specific, COVID-19 related topic and shares the latest news and advice regarding the virus.
24/7 Operations Center: Our 24/7 Operations Center continues to fully support the needs of our members. Our Tap for Help feature on our Mobile App connects members directly with one of our assistance coordinators.

STRANDED TRAVELER ASSISTANCE
If a member is stranded while traveling due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, our experienced travel assistance coordinators will help them make travel arrangements to return home, when legally permissible.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

Our team can locate testing facilities near the member’s location. Access to testing facilities will vary by location, assessment of symptoms, pre-existing conditions and exposure to the virus.

Prescription Assistance
If a member is running out of medication, Assist America can help refill the prescription by contacting their doctor and sourcing the prescription at a local pharmacy.

|
Medical Monitoring
If a member has COVID-19, Assist America's assistance personnel will monitor the member's medical condition through the quarantine process and liaise with the health insurance.

Return of Mortal Remains
In the event a member dies while away from home, Assist America will provide guidance to the family and arrange and pay for the required documents, remains preparation and transport to bring the remains to a funeral home near the member’s place of residence. Our assistance coordinators are trained to follow the requirements and instructions set forth by local authorities and the CDC. Transportation time may vary depending on current COVID-19 travel restrictions and bans.
