Patriot Executive® (delivered by Marsh GatewayConnexions) provides coverage designed for the executive that takes multiple trips throughout the year outside his or her home country. The plan provides coverage up to 30 days in length for each trip. It offers the ease and convenience of purchasing a single annual plan at an affordable premium.
Patriot Executive International provides coverage for U.S. executives traveling outside the U.S. and Patriot Executive America provides coverage for non-U.S. executives traveling outside their home country.
Medical Insurance for Traveling Executives
As an executive who travels frequently throughout the year, you have plenty of responsibilities. You don't want to think about your medical coverage while you're abroad. But what would happen if you became ill or injured during your trip?
Most executives assume they will be covered by their standard medical plan. The truth is, while traditional plans offer adequate domestic coverage, they are not designed for international travel.
You have enough to worry about when you're traveling. Don't let your medical coverage be an uncertainty. There are two Patriot Executive® plans, which provide a complete package of international benefits available 24 hours a day.
Patriot Executive® International
Patriot Executive International is an annual plan for U.S. citizens that provides coverage for an executive, his or her spouse and/or children traveling together for a period of one year. You are then covered during that year, in accordance with the terms of the plan, for each trip you take together outside your home country.
Patriot Executive® America
Patriot Executive America is an annual plan for non-U.S. citizens that provides coverage for an executive, his or her spouse and/or children traveling together for a period of one year. You are then covered during that year, in accordance with the terms of the plan, for each trip you take together outside your home country.
Who is Patriot Executive designed for?
U.S. citizens who:
- are under the age of 76,
- are covered by an individual or group medical plan, and
- travel outside of the United States frequently throughout the year.
Non-U.S. citizens who:
- are under the age of 76,
- are covered by an individual or group medical plan, and

Although the Patriot Executive plan in not renewable, it can be rewritten for succeeding or subsequent coverage periods.
