Does your expat travel insurance include emergency medical evacuation and repatriation for long trips abroad?
Yes, Expatriate Group’s expat travel insurance plans include emergency medical evacuation and repatriation as standard benefits. This ensures you have essential protection for long trips abroad where access to suitable medical care may be limited or costly.
You will be evacuated if you suffer from any of the following when travelling overseas:
- Sudden illness
- Serious injury
- Medical emergency
Your policy will cover the cost of emergency medical evacuation to the nearest appropriate medical facility. This can include transportation by air ambulance or road ambulance, depending on your location and medical needs. Where medically necessary, the policy also provides for accompaniment to ensure you are not left to travel alone.
In more serious circumstances, where local treatment is not adequate, emergency evacuation may involve transferring you to another country or returning you to your home country for continued treatment, subject to medical advice and policy terms.
In the unfortunate event of death while abroad, all our travel insurance plans also include repatriation of mortal remains, covering the arrangements and transportation back to your home country. This removes a significant financial and logistical burden from family members at an already difficult time.
Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation are included across Expatriate Group’s travel insurance options, giving travellers peace of mind that they are protected throughout their trip. As with all insurance policies, benefits are subject to the full terms, conditions, and any pre-authorisation requirements outlined in the policy documentation, so travellers should always review their cover details before departure.
