Through MEDEX Insurance Services, MEDEX provides insurance coverage and other services to millions of travelers, expatriates and students.

· a world-class travel assistance infrastructure · first-world standards of primary and emergency medical care in remote and hazardous locations · a global network of practicing medical specialists and resources · robust medical, safety and security protocols, gained by delivering high quality medical care in the world’s most challenging environments · emergency medical and security evacuation and crisis response capabilities · extensive travel intelligence, insurance and protection services · specialist technical and operational health and safety expertise

President and Chief Operating Officer Americas, Bruce Kirby explains the strengths of this new organization and the innovation it brings to new marketplaces. “What excites our people and customers around the world is our ability to deliver our services across all sectors and all locations. So, whether your challenge is sending your sales team to India, operating a deepwater oil rig off the coast of Brazil, or embarking on a first exchange trip to Paris, Frontier MEDEX has the proactive, global, medical, safety and security solutions you need to achieve your goals.”
