Generali Global Assistant’s Travel Insurance Arm, formerly CSA Travel Protection, launched three new coverage plans. In a related move, the company also launched its first direct-to-consumer travel insurance website.

The new plans, shaped by consumer input include access to General Global Assistance’s network of 425,000 medical providers; trip cancellation coverage that can cover if family members who are not traveling become sick or injured. Policies also include medical expense service with a No Out-of-Pocket Medical that can arrange a traveler’s appointment and pay up front for acute treatments up to $1,000 if the insureds get sick or injured while traveling.

Generali said the plans also include identity theft resolution services, Teladoc (virtual doctor) services, and concierge services.

Meanwhile, the new Generali Global Assistance Travel Insurance consumer website helps consumers with research, buying or servicing of their policies. Customers can access it from any device to get plan information, a booking engine, travel resource information or claim submission tools.
