Question: Emergency Evacuation coverage can be a vital benefit on an international health insurance plan. In many countries around the world local medical facilities may not be able to provide the requisite assistance. In some cases, medical facilities in certain locations will only be able to provide basic emergency services and cannot offer extensive treatment options for serious medical conditions. In the event that you suffer a serious illness or accident while overseas, Emergency Evacuation coverage can help to ensure that you receive the best healthcare available. This type of coverage will allow you to be evacuated to another hospital within your current location, or even overseas, in the event that the medical facilities available cannot provide the correct treatment for your condition. The evacuation will normally ensure that you are transported to the nearest “Center of Medical Excellence,” and if none are available nearby, may allow for you to be repatriated to your home nation for continuing care. Emergency Evacuation is just one type of coverage benefit we can offer on the global health insurance plans which Pacific Prime works with.
