WHY IS MEDIJET UNIQUE — FAQ
Q: Is MedjetAssist unique from standard travel insurance evaculation from standard travel insurance evacuation benefits because it will take me to my hospital of choice regardless of whether it is deemed medically necessary?
A: Yes. The vast majority of evacuation benefits in standard insurance will only take you to the nearest adequate facility, where as, the attending physician or the provider’s medical director will determine whether it is “medically necessary” to evacuate you; In other words, they get to decide whether or not your condition even merits a transport. With MedjetAssist, as long as the member meets the transport criteria (inpatient status at both ends) and all safety issues have been considered, the decision for transport and hospital of choice is up to our member.
Q: What else makes MedjetAssist unique from standard travel insurnace evaculation benefits?
A: Because MedjetAssist is a pre-paid membership program, all expenses of the transport are covered from bedside to bedside, where other programs can have deductibles, claims forms, co-pays and significant out-of-pocket expenses. Also, MedjetAssist has NO pre-existing condition exclusions for those under the age of 75, NO adventure travel, natural disaster, nor terrorism exclusions.
Q: Will you rescue me in any medical emergency no matter where I am?
A: Although MedjetAssist cannot guarantee evacuation from remote locations that do not have an accessible landing strip, we have a network of authorized affiliate air medical providers throughout the world. Many of these have specialized capabilities allowing better access to more remote areas. MedjetAssist will supervise the entire process from start to finish.
Q: What constitutes a “family” under Family Plan Membership and can a family member accompany me during a transport?
A: A family shall include primary member, spouse or domestic partner sharing the same household, and up to five dependent children up to age 19 or up to age 23 if a full-time student. Family members, business associates and/or traveling companions may accompany the patient, at no additional cost, provided space is available and patient care is not comprised.
