During your international experience, you may need to see a doctor, have a prescription filled, receive care at a hospital, or deal with an unexpected medical emergency. In addition, you may wish to return to the U.S. for either routine care or the treatment of an unexpected illness.

The Medical Benefits provided under the Global Citizen health plan can help protect you against these unforeseeable circumstances regardless of where you are.

The main benefit is “continuation of coverage” without exclusions.
HTH complies with all US State regulations, unlike many US companies selling international coverage.

While HTH reserves the right to be selective and may reject your application, they can provide a “seamless” transition from US policies (BC&BS, United HealthCare, Kaiser etc.) to an HTH policy. Here is the info about the Global Citizen Plan that I like:
