HTH Worldwide

What HTH Worldwide does

HTH Worldwide (also doing business as Highway to Health) is a Pennsylvania-domiciled private LLC founded in 1997 that operates a dual business combining consumer travel health insurance with a B2B API platform for international healthcare and safety data. On the consumer side, the company sells Trip Protection Insurance (covering 190 countries) and Travel Health Insurance for short trips outside the United States via hthtravelinsurance.com, alongside the mPassport mobile app that lets individual travelers search providers, schedule appointments, find medication equivalents, and translate medical terms. On the enterprise side, HTH monetizes a nine-API suite distributed through the developer.hthworldwide.com portal — International Providers (7,000+ English-speaking physicians/dentists/behavioral health professionals), International Facilities (5,000+ hospitals/clinics), International Pharmacies (700+ in 160+ countries), Health Atlas (~200 countries), Medicine Equivalents (400+ drugs in 42 countries), Medical Translations (13 languages), News & Safety (via Drum Cussac), Emergency Information, and U.S. Embassies — with public APIs offered free and partner-only APIs requiring paid licensing approval. The platform runs on Boomi/Mashery API management infrastructure with OAuth 2.0 authentication, tiered public/partner keys, and staging environments for approved developers.

The company's revenue mechanics combine API licensing/royalty income from partners embedding HTH data into their own travel, insurance, or corporate applications with subscription/transaction revenue from consumer insurance products and the mPassport mobile app. Pricing for partner APIs is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated case-by-case following a registration and approval workflow, while insurance pricing varies by coverage level and destination. HTH serves three primary customer segments: B2B partner companies integrating healthcare/safety data (the strategic priority), individual international travelers needing trusted care abroad, and authenticated health plan members accessing cross-border claims and provider information. The company employs 51–100 people across its King of Prussia headquarters and Radnor general office, with a HIPAA-compliant data handling posture for protected health information.

Core offering

HTH Worldwide develops and licenses a suite of proprietary APIs that provide international healthcare provider, facility, pharmacy, safety, and translation data to partners embedding the data into their own travel, insurance, and health applications. The company also sells consumer-facing travel health insurance, trip protection insurance, and the mPassport mobile application that delivers these capabilities directly to international travelers.

Product overview

HTH Worldwide provides a dual product portfolio: (1) consumer travel and health insurance products including Trip Protection Insurance and Travel Health Insurance, and (2) an enterprise API platform offering developer tools and data services. The company's core insurance offerings protect travelers with medical coverage in 190 countries and include trip cancellation/interruption benefits. The API suite, accessible via a developer portal and Mashery/Boomi platform, provides nine distinct data APIs covering healthcare providers (7,000+ physicians, 5,000 facilities, 700+ pharmacies), health and safety information (Health Atlas for 200 countries, News & Safety alerts), medical utilities (Medicine Equivalents, Medical Translations), and travel infrastructure (Emergency Information, U.S. Embassies). The mPassport Mobile App serves as the consumer-facing mobile product integrating these capabilities.

Direct peers

• International SOS: International SOS is the global leader in medical and travel security assistance services, operating proprietary provider networks, 24/7 assistance centers, and digital traveler tools for multinational corporations and insurers.

• World Nomads: World Nomads is a travel insurance provider focused on independent and adventurous international travelers, offering trip and medical coverage in 150+ countries.

• GeoBlue: GeoBlue is a leading U.S.-based provider of international travel health insurance and assistance, with a contracted global provider network marketed to international travelers, expatriates, and students. Directly competes with HTH in the same Western-trained English-speaking provider directory niche, with overlapping B2B (group plans) and B2C products.
• OnCall International: OnCall International provides travel assistance, emergency medical evacuation, and travel medical insurance with a global provider network for individuals, groups, and corporate clients.

• Faye: Faye is a travel insurance technology company providing travel medical and trip protection products through an embedded, app-first platform serving travelers and partners.
