The Process

From profile
to passport case
in 24 hours

The relief of preparedness so thorough it becomes its own kind of freedom. Every document in order before you pack.

01

Build your profile

Five questions about your destination, health history, and activity level. Takes under 5 minutes. No medical exam.

We ask about cardiac history, diabetes, respiratory conditions, joint replacements — the conditions standard insurers use to deny claims. We use this to find coverage that explicitly includes them.

02

Receive your comparison

Within one business day, a Safeguard specialist sends you a side-by-side comparison of three plans — all with pre-existing condition coverage.

No automated quotes that miss the fine print. A human specialist reviews your profile and selects plans where your specific conditions are named in the coverage, not excluded.

03

Confirm your plan

Choose your plan. Review the plain-language summary. Your conditions are listed by name on page one of your policy document.

You receive a policy document where your covered conditions appear in plain English on the first page — not buried in an exclusion schedule on page 47.

04

Travel with certainty

Your coverage card shows your conditions, your evacuation ceiling, and the 24/7 emergency number — everything you need in one place.

If you need evacuation, there's no pre-authorization call. No arguing about what qualifies. One number. One card. The ambulance is covered.

My cardiologist told me I could travel. My last insurer told me my stent was a pre-existing condition and denied the claim. Safeguard named it in the policy. That's the difference.

I have Type 2 diabetes and I wanted to walk the Camino. Every standard policy I found had a fine-print exclusion. Safeguard built a plan that listed diabetes coverage on page one.

My husband had a knee replacement two years ago. We winter in Scottsdale and I was always terrified of an emergency. Now I know the number: $500,000 evacuation. That number gives me peace.
