Is emergency medical evacuation covered under travel insurance?
Answer provided by a licensed Insurance advisorLicensed U.S. Insurance Specialist at VisitorsCoverage
Yes, international travel insurance plans include emergency evacuation coverage, a benefit that is especially helpful when you are traveling far from home or a quality medical facility. If you become seriously ill or injured in a remote area or somewhere with inadequate medical facilities, this coverage pays to transport you to the nearest appropriate hospital. These evacuations can cost tens of thousands of dollars without insurance, so this benefit alone makes many travelers feel travel insurance is worth it.
