Frequently Asked Questions

Can medical evacuation benefits help in a medical emergency abroad?

Yes, the medical evacuation and repatriation of remains benefits can assist if you face a medical emergency while traveling. This benefit can provide financial backup to cover those emergency transportation expenses if the local attending physician and our designated travel assistance services provider determine that your injury or illness is severe, acute or life-threatening and adequate treatment is not available in your immediate area.

How can the medical evacuation and repatriation of remains benefit give you peace of mind while traveling?

Traveling can be unpredictable, but having this benefit can provide some reassurance. With a travel protection plan, you can travel knowing that you have access to emergency evacuation transportation, expert non-insurance assistance, and coverage for unexpected evacuation costs, which can allow you to enjoy your trip with more confidence.

How does medical evacuation cover the cost of getting to a hospital?

If your condition is acute, severe or life threatening and adequate treatment isn’t available in your area, you can be transported to the nearest suitable hospital. This includes both domestic and international travel, so you get prompt care without focusing on the logistics.

How can medical evacuation help you get the right medical care in an emergency?

In an emergency, the plan’s non-insurance assistance partner works with local medical providers and emergency services to arrange transportation to the nearest appropriate facility, if your condition is severe and adequate care is not in your immediate area. Our specialists can help get you to the level of care needed for your specific medical condition, even if it means traveling across borders. The Medical Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains benefit can then reimburse for costs related to the medical evacuation.

How can the Medical Evacuation and Repatriation of Remains benefit help you get back home for continued medical treatment?

If your condition requires ongoing treatment after initial care, the medical repatriation part of this benefit can cover the cost of transportation back to your home or a medical facility closer to home. This helps you continue your recovery in a more familiar environment with the support of your personal healthcare providers. Your local attending physician and non-insurance travel assistance provider must determine that this is medically necessary.

How can this benefit cover the costs of returning your body if you pass away during your trip?

In the unfortunate event of death while traveling, the repatriation of remains part of the benefit can cover the cost of returning remains to your home country. This includes necessary arrangements, documentation, and transportation, helping to ease the burden on your loved ones.

How quickly can the non-insurance assistance company respond in a medical evacuation emergency?

Non-insurance emergency assistance is available 24/7 through Travel Insured’s selected assistance providers. Once an emergency is reported, the assistance team coordinates with local emergency services to arrange transportation as quickly as possible.

Is medical evacuation and repatriation insurance a good idea for frequent travelers?

Yes, frequent travelers benefit from this coverage, especially when visiting international destinations. No matter how often you travel, you have access to emergency evacuation transportation and support if an unexpected medical situation arises.

Is medical evacuation useful in countries with limited healthcare options?

Absolutely. If you're traveling in a country with limited healthcare options, medical evacuation allows you to be transported to a facility that can provide the care you need, even if it's in another country.

What types of medical conditions can be covered for evacuation under this plan?

Medical evacuation benefits can apply to severe, acute or life threatening illnesses and injuries, as determined by an attending physician and the non-insurance assistance provider.

Why is medical evacuation and repatriation important for travelers in remote areas?

Traveling to remote areas can mean limited access to medical care. Medical evacuation insurance and non-insurance travel assistance can provide a safety net by covering transportation from remote locations to the nearest hospital equipped to handle your severe or acute condition, ensuring you aren’t left without adequate care.

Why can medical evacuation be essential if you're in a life-threatening situation abroad?

In a life-threatening situation, quick access to proper medical care can make all the difference. Medical evacuation can help to make sure you are transported to a qualified facility without delay, helping you get the treatment you need when every moment counts.

Why should you consider medical evacuation and repatriation for international travel?

When traveling abroad, your primary health insurance may not cover medical evacuation emergencies. Medical evacuation and repatriation benefits provide protection for the cost of emergency transportation, repatriation, and return of remains if needed.

Can the medical evacuation benefit cover transportation to a medical facility far from your current location?

Yes, if the nearest suitable medical facility is far from your current location and your condition is severe or life threatening, medical evacuation can cover the transportation costs. This includes ground or air ambulance services, so you reach the right place for treatment.
