Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Insurance

Medical evacuation and repatriation insurance is designed to provide additional coverage to plans that only offer limited benefits.
Of course, you can supplement any of these plans with a travel medical insurance plan, which will provide you with coverage — sometimes up to $1,000,000 — but even with additional travel medical insurance, you may not have all the core benefits you need while traveling abroad.
That is where Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Insurance plans are an ideal solution. They typically offer four core benefits to supplement any health insurance coverage you have in place to provide you with:

• Emergency Medical Evacuation
• Emergency Reunion
• Return of Mortal Remains/ Repatriation of Remains
• Travel Assistance Services

Emergency Medical Evacuation

Emergency Medical Evacuation provides you with transportation services in case you need to be evacuated to the nearest qualified medical facility, not necessarily to your home country. In some cases, the plan will bring you home once stabilized, but be sure to double check with your insurance plan.

Emergency Reunion

Emergency Reunion benefits will transport a friend or family member to be by your bedside if you are medically evacuated. The benefit will often cover airfare, accommodation and living expenses.

Return of Mortal Remains/ Repatriation of Remains

The Return or Repatriation of Remains benefit is designed to cover the costs associated with returning your body to your home country if you were to pass away.

Travel Assistance Services

Travel Assistance Services include coverage for emergency prescription replacement, translation assistance, lost document assistance and more. Keep in mind that these benefits are not monetary aids, but offer assistance services when you need them.
