Travel Insurance &
Complication Coverage
Patient safety is our top priority — and our complication rate stays well below the industry average. For international patients who want an extra layer of protection while traveling, we offer optional Medical Travel Insurance for Complications through Global Protective Solutions (GPS).
Optional protection for unexpected medical situations during your trip
Bariatric surgery is safer than ever — but every surgery carries some risk. GPS medical travel insurance is an optional add-on that covers post-op complications, extended hospitalization, additional medical care, and travel changes that may arise. It exists for the kind of peace of mind that lets you focus on recovery.
Why Some Patients Choose Complication Insurance
Most standard travel insurance plans don't cover elective procedures abroad. GPS is built specifically for medical travelers — so the coverage actually matches what you're going through.
Some patients feel more comfortable knowing they have coverage for unexpected medical situations during their trip. A specialized policy like GPS can help reduce financial stress if unforeseen events occur.
Whether it's an extended hospital stay, additional medical care, or last-minute changes to your travel arrangements, the right coverage means you can focus entirely on your recovery — not on logistics or unexpected costs.
- Post-op complications
- Extended hospitalization
- Additional medical care
