Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between medical evacuation insurance and an air medical transport membership?
Medical evacuation insurance usually moves you to the nearest adequate medical facility as determined by an insurer. Memberships like MedjetAssist or AirMed International focus on transporting a hospitalized member to a hospital of their own choosing near their home.
Do these services cover evacuations due to political instability or civil unrest?
Yes, some providers in this category specialize in security risk services and can assist with evacuations during civil unrest or security threats. These services are designed to get you out of dangerous situations, not just medical ones.
Can I get coverage for high-altitude trekking or remote expeditions?
You should look for specific providers that offer no exclusions for high-altitude trekking or those designed for expedition travelers and journalists. Some plans are built specifically to cover remote and austere locations that standard policies might avoid.
Will this replace my regular travel medical insurance?
These services are meant to sit alongside a medical policy rather than replace it. Many travelers choose to carry both to ensure they have coverage for medical bills as well as the logistical costs of evacuation and repatriation.
