Travel assistance vs travel insurance

With standard travel insurance, the student finds doctors and pays out-of-pocket, then claims for reimbursement.

With Assist Card, the student calls a 24/7 Alarm Center. Assist Card sends a doctor, schedules appointments with specialists, or directs to the right hospital. Assist Card pays directly. Student doesn't pay out of pocket.
