Welcome to the Emergency Assistance Plus® (EA+®) Online Validation Center! Today’s provisional registration was set up to speed activation of your enrollment in an important AIChE member entitlement — the Emergency Assistance Plus (EA+) Program. EA+ stands as a critical travel safety net against emergency expenses your health insurance usually will NOT cover.  It helps you handle almost any crisis while you’re away from home for a few days, or weeks at a time (whether you’re on a short trip just a few hours away … traveling on business or with your family … or even out of the country). If you become hospitalized while traveling, EA+ helps make sure you’re getting the medical care you need. That you’re getting it QUICKLY. And gets you home to recuperate if necessary. EA+ is not a first responder. To learn more about how EA+ helps in an emergency, please click here.
This is only an outline of the plan's features. Hospitalization (admitted as an inpatient) is a requirement to be eligible for some services. All services must be arranged and provided by EA+. Please read your Member Guide carefully to understand all the services available to you, as well as any rules and regulations. Click here to view a sample of the EA+ Plan details. |

EA+ steps in to help you with more than 20 emergency and medical services … to help you focus on your recovery and NOT on the costs (or even details like lining up second opinions or flying a loved one home).

When a crisis strikes … How EA+ stands up to real-life emergencies The true test of any program is how it reacts under fire. And EA+ has already proven to be a life-saver for its members. Here are just a few of the real-life emergencies EA+ has handled: Bad Fall Requires Nurse Escort Home Every year Bob and Esther winter in Rio Grande Valley, Texas. While visiting friends on the way home, Esther took a bad fall. Her injuries were severe: both cheekbones were broken and her left eye socket was shattered. Bob called EA+ after she was stabilized at the hospital, and it was deemed medically necessary by the treating physicians and EA+ medical team, that she should be moved to a facility near their home, where their son worked and would help supervise her recovery. Because of the extent of her injuries, EA+ provided a nurse escort to go with Bob and Esther all the way to the facility. EA+ arranged ground transportation, wheelchairs, and watched over Esther the entire flight, monitoring her oxygen levels and medication, and making sure Esther was comfortable. Also, because the EA+ medical team advised Esther’s medical condition warranted extra space on the plane, EA+ also provided upgraded tickets for Esther and the nurse. “I don’t know what I would have done without EA+. Everything was so smooth and we were treated wonderfully. It took all the stress out of this situation. The EA+ program … is the best investment I ever made. I recommend it to everyone … all the people I have told about this can’t believe the kind of service I received.”
— Bob and Esther Road Trip Cut Short Due to Stomach Virus “Our annual road trip to enjoy springtime in the Appalachians was cut short when my husband was hospitalized for a stomach virus and dehydration. “Due to the long journey, the treating physician did not recommend that my husband and I drive our van home. Instead, I called the EA + Coordinators for help. Once my husband was medically cleared to travel, EA+ went into action, making flight arrangements for us to return to Massachusetts. “While our EA + services also provided for coordination of vehicle return, we decided that a family friend would drive the van home, so EA + flew that friend to our van, allowing us to fully focus on my husband’s recovery and not the stress.”
— Beverly Johnson
Emergency Brain Surgery Required During Vacation “After the surgery, my wife contacted the EA+ Coordinators for help in returning us home to Texas. Once the treating physician and EA+ doctors determined that I was healthy enough to fly home, EA+ Coordinators made travel arrangements for us. EA+ made sure to make arrangements for our car to be returned to Texas, flying our son in to drive it back. “We made it back home safely, thanks to EA+ that made everything so easy on us.”
— Andrew Mason
“Our summer vacation to Wyoming was cut short when I fell off my horse. We were traveling with friends to enjoy the Wyoming summer and some horseback riding. Unfortunately, the fall left me with six broken ribs and a punctured lung. “My husband called EA+ representatives for assistance in returning us home to Nebraska. After discussing the case with an EA+ Physician, the attending physician advised against air travel with concerns about changes in air pressure and the effect it would have on my injured lung. Having driven up in our friends’ truck, there was no comfortable way to transport me back home. As it was medically necessary, EA+ arranged and provided ground transportation to get us all the way home safely. “Thankfully, it was determined that I did not require readmission to a hospital in Nebraska. My husband was able to drive me home safely, leaving our horses with our friends in Wyoming.”

Other AIChE Members Have Asked: The most common questions about EA+ Q. Why set up my “provisional” registration for EA+? A. Because it’s the quickest way to get you protected. And with our active lifestyles, we felt it was imperative to activate full EA+ privileges for as many AIChE members as possible … as quickly as possible. Plus, acting right away also helps lock in your AIChE member bargain price. EA+ rates are currently as low as they can go. And when you validate your EA+ status in the next 10 days, you’re guaranteed the same low 32-cents-a-day price for a FULL year. Q. I already have medical insurance. Why lock in EA+, too? A. EA+ is NOT medical insurance. It’s an important stop-gap between what your medical plan covers … and emergency expenses most health insurance plans usually do NOT cover. EA+ arranges and provides, at no charge to you, emergency air or ground evacuation when medically necessary. It steps forward to help ensure your medical care can continue while the administrators sort out health insurance details. It provides medical monitoring to oversee your treatment and even helps your loved ones stay “in the loop” with a 24-hour emergency message relay service. Plus, EA+ goes the extra mile for you by arranging and providing, at no charge to you, a round-trip economy-class ticket to fly a loved one to your side if you’re suddenly hospitalized while traveling alone away from home. It also arranges and provides airfare home for your spouse, traveling companion, or unattended children if your trip is cut short by hospitalization due to your medical emergency. EA+ also hires someone to drive your vehicle home if you and your traveling companion can’t. Q. How do I use EA+ once I validate my status? A. Your official EA+ Identification Card will be mailed to you in your Welcome Packet as soon as you complete your validation. This customized I.D. lists the phone number dedicated to EA+. (You’ll want to keep this I.D. in your wallet. Most AIChE members tuck it right next to their medical plan I.D. card.) Then if you’re suddenly faced with an emergency when you’re traveling away from home (whether you’re on a trip … traveling for work … or on a vacation), just call the emergency number and EA+ will immediately jump in from there. Or if you’re planning a trip and want help with visas … inoculations … or assistance lining up proper medical care for a current health condition, just call the us or the collect number if you are overseas for valuable pre-trip help. This is only an outline of the plan's features. Hospitalization (admitted as an inpatient) is a requirement to be eligible for some services. All services must be arranged and provided by EA+.
