RBC Insurance clients travelling to over 20 major U.S. cities have immediate access to quality acute medical care, thanks to InRoomMD.

This travel healthcare concierge program provides “in-room” hotel visits 24/7, whenever possible, saving travellers the inconvenience of having to search for medical assistance while visiting their destination.

RBC Insurance was the first Canadian travel insurance company to sign on with this program in the United States. Over the past two years, the company estimates that over 980 of its travel insurance policyholders have taken advantage of the program, while travelling in the U.S.

“The ‘wow’ factor of on the road house call service consistently brings compliments from our policyholders,” said Stan Seggie, president and CEO of the travel insurance division of RBC Insurance. “They really appreciate the convenience and security of not having to leave a hotel in search of urgent local health care within an unfamiliar city, let alone within an unfamiliar health care system.”

Through its network of American-trained and board certified physicians, as well as its relationships with partner hospitals, InRoomMD offers, whenever possible, round the clock in-room diagnosis and treatment services for acute medical conditions. The medical care program also offers expedited access to assistance such as emergency room care.
