HaloMed is not travel insurance. HaloMed was created in part because of a major gap that remains with travel insurance: fast and unbiased advice.
Travel insurance may pay for whatever care you require, but they have to check what your policy covers, or doesn’t cover, and they do not have your key medical information on file. This slows down the process of getting you help in situations where you may already be concerned and have a problem.
Travel insurers also have a set of medical providers that they use, and as a result are biased on where they recommend you should go for healthcare. HaloMed nurses are unbiased, recommending healthcare that is best for you and your situation.
HaloMed keeps as much or as little health information as you provide to us. Key medical history about your current and past conditions, as well as your medications and dosage are recommended. In addition, the name of your general practitioner, specialists and dentist can be very useful in facilitating your care.
After you sign up, we contact you with a form to complete, which will include your medical information and emergency contacts. This can be done online or over the phone if you prefer.
We store all information in HIPAA and PIPEDA Electronic Medical Record complaint databases.

If you are unable to communicate with your local healthcare providers, HaloMed will absolutely do so on your behalf.
