Emergency Medical Evacuation 

During a medical emergency, access to qualified treatment is an immediate concern. For these situations, Global Medical Insurance^sm includes a US$50,000 lifetime benefit for Emergency Medical Evacuation. This coverage is available when there is not a qualified facility in your area to treat your life threatening illness or injury.

Global Medical Insurance^sm  also covers expenses for repatriation of bodily remains or ashes to the country of citizenship up to a maximum of US$7,500 for death resulting from a covered injury or illness.

How the evacuation process works

Emergency Medical Evacuation through IMG^®: provides access to care when you or your family need it most. During the emergency, IMG will coordinate evacuation to a facility equipped to handle your illness or injury. A team of pilots and medical professionals transport you and a family member, while arrangements for your arrival are being made with the receiving hospital. Once at the receiving hospital IMG will continue to monitor your treatment and communicate with physicians and family members.

The evacuation must be recommended by the attending physician and approved in advance and coordinated by IMG. IMG is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to arrange emergency medical evacuations.

IMG has around–the–clock medical staff available to approve, certify and coordinate medical evacuations.
