With Americans, and travelers around the world, watching every penny these days, of course trip cancellation insurance is important. According to a survey from InsureMyTrip, 85 percent consider the coverage “very important.” What grabbed our interest here at Air Ambulance Card though was a second stat. 70 percent of those surveyed rated medical evacuation coverage as “critical.” What we want to travelers to look at is the fine print of their medical evacuation policies. Many of the medevac clauses in standard trip insurance policies have “Nearest Appropriate Facility” or “Nearest US Facility” exlusions and “Medical Necessity” clauses. That means the company, not you and your doctor, decide if you will be transported. Not the peace of mind you are looking for. Shop around, then come back to Air Ambulance Card for peace of mind you can count on.
