Bus/Financial - Insurance
English term or phrase: assistance company
Provides an insurance during trips abroad for medical aspects, medical advice. In my opinion it's something like an international health insurance (Reiseversicherung, Auslandsversicherung) but I'm not sure due to the expression "Assistance". It may also be used as "Beistand" (medizinischer Beistand), but I don't no any "Beistandsversicherung" or anything else.
Example: "Contact the regulating doctors of your assistance company and/or consult for medical advice if the slightest, inexplicable fever occurs during your stay abroad."
What would be a good translation?
Thanks!

Partnerversicherung


Explanation:
German insurance companies have partners in other countries.
So, in case of accidents, sickness ... you contact this "Partnerversicherung" when you are abroad. I never heard "Beistandsversicherung" in this context.
