Emergency reunion coverage is a form of emergency benefits that many travel insurance policies include. This coverage is for the travel expenses of a family member that is needed when the insured person must receive emergency medical treatment while overseas. With emergency reunion coverage, the traveler can have a close family member by their side if they have a medical emergency, without the expenses involved with that family member's travel.

Many travel insurance policies include emergency reunion coverage under a blanket emergency benefits plan. If this is a type of coverage that you think you want to have when traveling overseas, make sure that you ask your travel insurance agent to include it. Not all travel insurance policies do. Often emergency reunion coverage can be added to a travel insurance policy for a small fee if it is not already included. Since the chance that you will need to use this benefit is slim, it is usually quite affordable.
