An evacuation plan for those with medical coverage overseas

Looking for a good, very affordable option for emergency evacuation (both medical evacuation / political evacuation)? If your health insurance covers you overseas but doesn’t supply an emergency evacuation option, then this critical piece of your safety and pre-planning makes a lot of sense.

Evacuation costs can easily reach $25,000 to $150,000, even $250,000 depending on the seriousness of your condition, and how remote you are. Depending on the stability of the country/region you are living/working in, your need for political evacuation may be even greater to keep yourself and your family safe.

PLEASE NOTE: Sky Rescue is no longer being offered to individuals. Groups on “shared health plans” or without an emergency evacuation option are still eligible to participate in Sky Rescue on a case-by-case basis. We are recommending Bupa as an alternative for those looking for a good emergency evacuation plan at https://localhost/wp.socialgoodinsurance.com/bupa-including-medical-political-evacuation/
