What is Medical Evacuation & Repatriation Insurance?

Medical Evacuation & Repatriation is a travel insurance benefit that provides reimbursement for any emergency medical evacuation services you may need during a covered trip.

A medical evacuation, sometimes shortened to medevac, is a service that provides emergency transportation and en route care from a medical escort to individuals that are critically ill or injured. This service can be carried out using an air ambulance, a commercial airline, or other ground transportation vehicles fitted with medical equipment.

This coverage is included in most travel insurance plans, and is highly sought-after among travelers taking a cruise, visiting a remote destination, or participating in adventure sports.

Coverage limits and exclusions differ by policy. Some plans may require a medical deductible to be met before coverage can apply.

What Does Medical Evacuation Insurance Cover?

Medical Evacuation & Repatriation covers the cost to medically transport you to the nearest adequate medical facility, or back to your home country, in the event you sustain a serious or life-threatening injury or illness while traveling.

Given the high cost of transporting patients while providing medical care, most travel insurance companies provide high coverage for this benefit.

Below are common expenses and scenarios covered by most Medical Evacuation insurance policies:

  • Transportation to the Nearest Adequate Medical Facility: If the local hospital or facility you arrive at is unable to treat your condition, this benefit may cover the cost to transport you to another facility to receive appropriate medical services and a superior level of care.
  • Transportation Back Home: Coverage for emergency long-distance air transportation back home if the attending physician or medical professional believes it’s in your best interest.
  • Hospital Companion: If you are traveling alone, some plans cover the cost of a round trip ticket for a close friend or family member to visit you in the hospital.
  • Traveling Companion: Reimbursement for your travel companion’s hotel stay, meals, and transportation expenses so they can remain nearby while you receive medical treatment.
  • Return of Children: If you’re traveling with children, this benefit may cover the cost to transport your children back home so they can be in the care of a close friend or relative while you are treated.
  • Repatriation of Remains: If you pass away during your trip, this benefit may cover the cost to return your remains to the city of the burial site, as well as cremation, embalming, and other necessary expenses.

Common Medical Evacuation Exclusions

Even the best travel insurance plans have limitations. While the Medical Evacuation benefit can be applied to a wide-range of scenarios, it is not all-encompassing.

While exclusions can vary slightly by policy, most plans won’t cover medical evacuations and emergency care relating to the following scenarios:

  • Pre-existing conditions flare ups, unless stated otherwise in your policy
  • Participating in an adventure sport or activity that was excluded from your policy’s coverage
  • “Hospital of Choice” transportation, unless stated otherwise in your policy
  • Substance abuse
  • Medical tourism or elective surgeries
  • Normal pregnancy or childbirth

How Much Medical Evacuation Insurance Do I Need?

The cost of a medical evacuation often depends on your destination, the severity of your medical condition, the cost of medical care at your destination, and the distance you are to the nearest medical facility. According to the CDC, a medical air evacuation can cost between $25,000 to more than $250,000.

For that reason, many travel insurance companies offer plans with varying degrees of medical evacuation coverage. On Squaremouth, customers can find plans that offer anywhere between $50,000 to $2,000,000 in coverage per traveler.

To be safe, we recommend all travelers consider policies that offer at least $100,000 in emergency Medical Evacuation coverage. However, if you are taking a cruise, visiting a remote destination, or participating in hazardous activities, we recommend a policy with at least $250,000 in Medical Evacuation coverage.

Will My Primary Healthcare Policy Cover Medical Evacuations?

Most primary health insurance plans, such as Medicare or an employer sponsored plan, do not provide coverage outside the United States. While your medical transport may be covered in the USA, it is not likely to be covered if you are planning international travel.

If you’re an American citizen or resident planning a trip overseas, consider purchasing a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes medical coverage, as well as other popular benefits like Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, Travel Delay, and 24 Hour Travel Assistance Services.

Do Credit Cards Provide Travel Medical Insurance?

No, credit cards do not typically provide insurance coverage for medical expenses or transportation while traveling. Cards that do offer coverage for medical care typically offer low coverage limits compared to medical plans offered by third party travel insurance providers.

What is a Medical Evacuation Membership?

A Medical Evacuation Membership is a unique type of protection that covers members that require a medical evacuation while traveling. Similar to travel insurance, these memberships can arrange and provide reimbursement for emergency medical transportation services.

Rather paying for coverage per trip, most memberships require an annual or short-term fee. These memberships typically don’t include other forms of travel protection, so it is not seen as a substitute or replacement for travel insurance. One of the more well-known Medical Evacuation Membership programs is MedJet.

Is Medical Evacuation Insurance Worth It?

Yes, purchasing a travel insurance policy that includes Medical Evacuation insurance is a smart investment for any traveler, regardless of their destination. This benefit can offer valuable peace of mind heading into a trip, as well as financial protection from sizable out-of-pocket expenses if a medical evacuation is required.

Medical Evacuation coverage can be found in almost all travel insurance policies, and is a common reason why many travelers purchase insurance for their trip. View the list below to see all travel insurance plans on Squaremouth that include Medical Evacuation coverage.

1. the local attending Physician and Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider determine that Your condition is acute, severe or life threating; and
2. that adequate Medically Necessary treatment is not available in Your immediate area.

Medical Repatriation

Following an Emergency Medical Evacuation or a covered Injury or Sickness, We will pay for Medical Evacuation expenses to return You to Your point of origin, Your Primary Residence, or to a Hospital or medical facility closest to Your Primary Residence capable of providing continued treatment, if Your local attending Physician and Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider determine that it is Medically Necessary.

We will pay for one of the following methods of transportation, as pre-approved (prior to the evacuation) and arranged by Us or Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider:

a) one-way economy transportation;

We will also pay a benefit for Usual and Customary expenses incurred for a Medical Escort’s transportation and accommodations if an onsite attending Physician recommends in writing that a Medical Escort accompany You.

Medical Escort means a medically trained professional who is approved by Us or Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider, and is contracted to accompany and provide medical care to a sick or injured person while they are being transported.

Advance Payment: We will pay covered expenses directly to the service provider if You require an Emergency Medical Evacuation while on Your Trip, and the provider requires payment prior to service. This amount will be deducted from the benefit limit shown in the Schedule of Benefits. You agree to reimburse this payment to Us if: (a) You do not complete the claims process as outlined in the Payment of Claims section; or (b) it is determined that Your Emergency Medical Evacuation claim is not covered.

Benefits will be paid for covered Repatriation Expenses incurred, up to the Maximum Benefit Amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits, to return Your body to Your city of Primary Residence or Your origination point or to the place of burial in the United States of America if You die during Your Trip.

All Repatriation Expenses must be authorized and arranged in advance by Us or Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider. Once Your remains are claimed by the receiving funeral home or morgue, or in the event of local cremation, coverage under this benefit ends.

Transportation expenses for the Emergency Medical Evacuation and Medical Repatriation must be authorized and arranged in advance by Us or Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider.

In the event that Your Injury or Sickness prevents for You to obtain prior authorization of the Emergency Medical Evacuation, Medical Repatriation or Repatriation of Remains, You must make all efforts to notify Us or Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider as soon as reasonably possible.

In the event You have not contacted Us or Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider to arrange for Emergency Medical Evacuation, Medical Repatriation or Repatriation of Remains, benefits will be limited to the amount We would have paid had We or Our designated Travel Assistance Services Provider been contacted and related services pre-approved.

WORLDWIDE REPATRIATION

Subject to limitations on services described herein, when a Medjet Member becomes hospitalized as an inpatient due to illness or injury while traveling 150 miles or more from his or her Residence Address as defined herein, Medjet will arrange for medical transportation and repatriation services to the hospital of the Member’s choice in the Member’s Home Country.

Affiliate aircraft used for the medical transport of Medjet Members are fully equipped intensive care aircraft staffed with specially trained medical teams. However, if the Member’s condition permits, the Member will be transported by scheduled commercial airline while in the care of a Medjet authorized
medical escort.

MEDICAL TRANSPORT SERVICES

A. Availability

Medjet medical transport services are available to any Member who qualifies for medical transport services in accordance with these Rules and Regulations, is hospitalized as an inpatient 150 miles or more from his or her Residence Address and is accepted as a patient into an available inpatient bed by an admitting physician at the hospital of the Member’s choice in the Member’s Home Country.

Medjet medical transport services are not available to a Member with mild lesions, simple injuries such as sprains, simple fractures or mild illnesses that can be treated by local doctors and do not prevent the Member from continuing his or her trip or returning home without medical attention.

Both the originating and receiving hospitals must be accessible by ground ambulance to transport the Member to and from an airfield capable of accommodating a Medjet authorized aircraft (in the case of a medical transport via medically dedicated air transport) or a commercial aircraft (in the case of medical transport via commercial airline in the care of a Medjet authorized commercial medical escort).

Due to the limited medical facilities and testing available on cruise ships, the Member must be admitted to a hospital on shore before scheduling medical transport to another hospital.

The time frame for medical transport is dependent on affiliate aircraft availability, required permits and visas for the respective countries, and other factors that may be beyond Medjet’s control.

Members must have proper documentation to return to their country of residence. Medjet is not responsible for obtaining these documents in the event of a request for transport.

B. Commercial Medical Escort Service

Medjet will arrange for medical transport via commercial airline in business class, if available, in the care of a Medjet authorized commercial medical escort if:

1. the Member requires continued inpatient hospitalization;

2. the remaining inpatient hospitalization can be completed at a hospital of the Member’s choice in the Member’s Home Country; and

3. the Member can be returned by commercial airline in the care of a Medjet authorized commercial medical escort.

One (1) traveling companion may accompany each Member being transported via scheduled commercial airline, at no additional cost, via economy class.

Medjet will arrange for medical transport via medically dedicated air transport on a Medjet authorized aircraft if:

1. the Member requires continued inpatient hospitalization;

2. the remaining inpatient hospitalization can be completed at a hospital of the Member’s choice in the Member’s Home Country; and

3. the Member cannot be returned by commercial airline in the care of a Medjet authorized commercial medical escort.

One (1) traveling companion may accompany each Member being transported on a Medjet authorized aircraft during a medically dedicated air transport, at no additional cost, provided space is available and the Member’s care will not be compromised.

While Medjet makes every effort to accommodate its Members, due to limited space available on medical aircraft, the Member and any accompanying passenger are limited to one small carry-on bag each.

D. Transport Criteria

All arrangements for medical transport and repatriation will be made by Medjet. Decisions regarding the urgency of the case, the best timing and the most suitable means of transportation will be made by Medjet after consultation with the local attending physician.

Medical Assessment – Medjet will require a Medical Assessment in order to determine membership benefits and stability for transport. The Medical Assessment requires a consultation between the Member’s treating physician, who will provide a final or interim diagnosis that will require continued inpatient hospitalization, and a Medjet physician, who will review and evaluate the treating physician’s diagnosis in order to determine the Member’s transport requirements.

A Member must be medically stable for medical transport. Assuming all other medical transport criteria are met, a Member who is initially considered medically unstable for transport to the hospital of the Member’s choice in the Member’s Home Country may first be transported to the nearest appropriate medical facility for initial stabilization. After this initial stabilization, Medjet will arrange continued transport to the hospital of the Member’s choice in the Member’s Home Country if the Member continues to meet medical transport criteria.

SPECIALTY HOSPITAL TRANSFER

Only Medjet Members with a continuous active membership without lapse since April 1, 2008, have access to the following Medjet Specialty Hospital Transfer service: Subject to limitations on services described herein, when a Medjet Member (under age 75) becomes hospitalized as an inpatient due to
illness or injury while traveling less than 150 miles from his or her Residence Address, and the attending physician and Medjet physician agree that medical treatment or procedures required for the Member’s care are not available at the current facility, Medjet will arrange medical transport to a specialty hospital of the Member’s choice, in the Member’s Home Country, as long as the facility is greater than 150 miles from the Member’s Residence Address on file and an admitting physician at the specialty hospital has accepted the Medjet Member as a patient into an available inpatient bed.

TRANSPORT OF MORTAL REMAINS

In the event of a Member’s death while traveling 150 miles or more away from the Member’s Residence Address, Medjet will arrange and pay reasonable and customary charges up to $6,000 for the preparation and return of the Member’s remains to the Member’s Home Country. These charges will be at the sole discretion of Medjet.

Otherwise, Medjet’s transport to that hospital will not be possible.

The time frame for Covid-19 Specialized Transfer WILL BE extended beyond that of typical medical transports and is dependent on multiple factors including, but not limited to, affiliate availability to transfer Covid-19 patients, required permits or permissions and any other factors that are beyond Medjet’s control.

With respect to Covid-19 specialized transfers, to the extent of any actual or claimed inconsistency between the Covid-19 Specialty Transfer provisions and any other provision(s) of the Rules and Regulation, the Covid-19 Specialty Transfer provisions control.
