MIAMI, FL – February 10, 2022 – FocusPoint International, a market-leading global assistance company composed of an elite team of medical, security, legal, and crisis response experts, today announced the launch of its Care & Assistance Plus (CAP) program for the consumer market, providing advanced, worldwide travel assistance and immediate response to stranded, in-crisis travelers, or those encountering merely the threat of crisis.
Whether the problem is a need for an evacuation because of a natural disaster or a medical emergency requiring a hospital-to-hospital transfer that repatriates the traveler to their country of origin, or simply as a result of COVID-19, CAP provides the resources to guarantee access to life-saving services around the world. Moreover, even if there’s merely a threat of a natural disaster, or you’re just nervous about traveling for any number of reasons, CAP offers travelers peace of mind and covers everything from government-mandated quarantine expenses to evacuation costs due to security threats, and immediately pays out for these scenarios, rather than having the traveler pay out of pocket to be reimbursed later.
“Travel has become extremely unpredictable. Threats like COVID-19 and unexpected quarantines have become the new normal,” said Greg Pearson, Founder and CEO of FocusPoint International. “But that doesn’t mean we should live in fear. Now more than ever it’s vital that we be prepared for the unexpected as we go about our daily lives or travel abroad. So, we are very excited to now be able to extend our corporate travel assistance program directly to consumer travelers, giving them the peace of mind to travel fearlessly.”
The program is fully indemnified by Lloyd’s, London, the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance marketplace. But unlike travel insurance, CAP provides immediate assistance while in-country for a myriad of situations not often covered by traditional travel insurance and without the lengthy claims process. Simply put, CAP’s market distinction is that it handles extraordinary and everyday circumstances related to travel and activities in areas that experience greater threat or risk. CAP is a full-service assistance provider, offering a robust travel assistance mobile app, 24/7 phone support, or even boots on the ground if needed. Whereas traditional travel insurance might not always offer international plans, or when they do, provide very little support when help is needed most desperately, CAP’s global team of medical professionals and highly-skilled, crisis response personnel are available 24/7, providing immediate, affordable, live support to customers anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice.
Whether traveling for leisure or business, or for prolonged special missions, or study abroad programs, CAP’s full-service international travel, medical, and security assistance plans are designed to cover every imaginable scenario, offering diverse options for those playing, working, or living internationally for either short or extended periods.
CAP plans for international travelers include:
- Vacation and leisure travel protection
- Adventure travel plans

COVID-19 and other medical and security assistance benefits include:
