description Medjet Overview

Medjet is not a traditional travel insurance provider but a specialized medical evacuation service that offers plans similar to travel insurance. They focus exclusively on getting you to the best possible hospital, regardless of where it is located. Their 'Air Ambulance' style approach ensures that if you have a life-threatening emergency, they will coordinate your transport immediately. It is an excellent supplement or primary choice for travelers who prioritize rapid medical response over trip cancellation benefits.

help Medjet FAQ

Is Medjet a replacement for travel medical insurance?

No, Medjet is a medical-transport membership rather than an insurance policy. It does not replace coverage for hospital bills, trip cancellation, lost luggage, or routine medical treatment.

When does Medjet arrange transport back home?

MedjetAssist generally requires the member to be hospitalized as an inpatient at least 150 miles from home and medically stable enough to travel. When the rules are met, it arranges hospital-to-hospital transport to a hospital of the member's choice in their home country.

Does Medjet only transport someone to the nearest suitable hospital?

No, that distinction is central to the membership. Medjet says qualifying members can be transported to their chosen home-country hospital even when the current facility is considered medically adequate.

Can travelers over 75 join Medjet?

MedjetAssist's standard annual membership is aimed at travelers up to age 75, while Diamond membership serves eligible applicants from 75 through 84. Diamond applicants face additional health review and membership conditions.
