Conditions such as flu, food poisoning, dehydration, allergic reactions, UTIs, sprains, and wound care are treated on-site, eliminating the need for an ER visit. "In most cases, travelers just need a doctor - not a hospital admission," said Eli Ofel, founder of Traveler Care. "We've built a scalable, insurer-ready solution that saves money and delivers a far better traveler experience." Reduce Claims by $10,000+ Per Visit On average, a non-emergency ER visit costs travel insurers $13,000 to $17,000. Traveler Care treats the same conditions in-room for $1,700 to $3,000 - including diagnostics like mobile X-ray, ultrasound, IV therapy, and wound treatment.
