Know How Your Benefits Work Before You Hit the Road
Summer is here, and many employees and families are preparing for vacations, road trips, and travel adventures. Before you leave, take a few minutes to understand how your benefits work while you’re away from home. A little preparation now can save time, money, and stress if you need care while traveling.
At LP Insurance, we believe that protecting what you’ve built includes helping your employees make the most of their benefits—wherever they are. That’s why we’ve created this bilingual wellness flyer to help your team understand their healthcare options on the go.
Know Where to Get Care
Not every health concern requires a trip to the emergency room. Understanding the difference between emergency care, urgent care, and telehealth can help employees get the right care at the right cost—even when they’re far from home.
Emergency Care
If you experience a true medical emergency while traveling, seek care immediately. Emergencies are covered regardless of where you receive treatment. Don’t hesitate—when it’s serious, go to the nearest emergency room.
Urgent Care
For non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries, urgent care centers may provide faster and more cost-effective treatment than an emergency room. Urgent care is great for:
- Sprains and strains
- Minor cuts or burns
- Cold and flu symptoms
Telehealth
Connect with a virtual doctor anywhere—convenient when you’re on the road. Telehealth is ideal for:
- Minor illnesses
- Allergies
- Skin conditions
- General medical questions
Prescription Reminders for Travelers
Running out of medication while traveling can turn a relaxing trip into a stressful situation. Before you leave, take these simple steps:
- Refill prescriptions before you travel — Don’t wait until the last minute
- Keep meds in original labeled containers — Especially important for air travel and crossing state lines
- Pack medications in your carry-on when flying — Never check essential prescriptions in luggage
Bring Your ID Cards
Having your insurance information readily available can make getting care while traveling much smoother:
- Pack medical, dental, and Rx ID cards — Physical copies as backup
- Download digital ID cards to your phone — Most carriers offer mobile apps
- Save key customer service numbers — Know who to call if you have questions about coverage
Why This Matters for Employers
When employees understand their benefits, they make better healthcare decisions—even while traveling. This leads to:
- Lower claims costs — Employees who use urgent care or telehealth instead of the ER save significant dollars
- Better employee satisfaction — People feel supported when they know how to access care
- Reduced confusion and calls to HR — A simple flyer can answer common questions proactively
- Healthier workforce — Employees who prepare prescriptions and ID cards avoid gaps in care

FAQs
Are my health benefits valid when I travel out of state?
