MedjetAssist’s Membership Eligibility

• Must be under age 75 for basic membership.
• A family membership shall include the named primary member, his or her spouse and up to five of their unmarried dependent children (including step, foster or legally adopted children) under the age of 19 or up to age 23, if a full-time student in actual attendance at an accredited school or college and dependent on the primary member for support and maintenance. If a birth or legal adoption occurs during the year of a family membership, the new dependent is automatically covered upon notification. A dependent child, as used above, is one who lives regularly and permanently with the primary member in a parent-child relationship and is chiefly dependent upon the member for support.
• Membership enrollment and renewal are subject to approval by the MedjetAssist membership committee.
• Membership is valid only if the appropriate membership fee is collected.
• Members who have reached age 75 or older at the time of their enrollment are not eligible for membership benefits under the Basic Plan. They can get the MedjetAssist Diamond Plan.

• Diamond Plan membership plans are available only as individual memberships at a cost of $395.00 per person, per year.

Benefits will be provided if the member’s preexisting defect, infirmity or condition has been controlled without changes as listed above for longer than period shown, and such sickness or injury is unexpected.”

MedjetAssist’s Air Medical Transport Criteria

• You must be hospitalized as an inpatient more than 150 miles from your primary residence as listed on your enrollment application and continue to meet inpatient criteria at the receiving hospital.
• If you are medically discharged from the hospital or leave against medical advice and are physically able to travel under you own power, you will no longer be eligible for air medical transport benefits.
• Due to the limited medical facilities and testing available on cruise ships, in some cases the MedjetAssist Medical Director may require the member to be admitted to a hospital on-shore before scheduling air medical transportation to another hospital.
• All arrangements for medical evacuation and repatriation must be made by MedjetAssist. Because MedjetAssist is an assistance program and not an insurance plan, we will not reimburse members for expenses they incur on their own. Decisions regarding urgency of the case, the best timing and the most suitable means of transportation will be made by the MedjetAssist medical department after consulting with the local attending physician and the receiving physician.
• Evacuation flights will be performed if an inpatient hospitalization is required, and the remaining in-patient hospital stay can be completed at a hospital of the member’s choice near the member’s home, and the member is unable to return to his home hospital via commercial airline without medical escort. Aircraft used for the medical transport of MedjetAssist members are fully equipped intensive care aircraft staffed with specially trained medical teams. However, if the member’s condition permits, the member may be transported by scheduled commercial airline, while in the care of a MedjetAssist medical team. Air medical services are limited to two separate flights per membership per year, except for repatriation flights involving enrolled, multiple family members requiring simultaneous repatriation. Under these circumstances, each family member will receive one fully paid flight.
• Transport from home hospital to a specialty hospital more than 150 miles away is provided only in cases in which the appropriate medical specialty or equipment is not available at the member’s hometown hospital and the member cannot travel commercially without medical escort. (This benefit does not apply to short-term membership.)

More Information:

No Medical Necessity To Be Transported
MedjetAssist members are transported without regard to medical necessity. Members, as long as they are hospitalized as an inpatient more than 150 miles from their home, can choose to be transported to another hospital, even if the facility they are in is considered adequate. The member makes the decision to be transported.

Many health, travel insurance plans and platinum card benefits require that a transfer be medically required. In other words, as long as the care at a hospital is deemed adequate, transferring to another hospital is not an option.

You Can Go To The Hospital Of Your Choice
MedjetAssist flies individuals to their home hospital or hospital of their choice. Many plans generally restrict transports to the nearest hospital that provides “appropriate care.” This means individuals are taken to a hospital the shortest distance away that has adequate care, but not necessarily the best care.

MedjetAssist members, if hospitalized, do not have to worry about being transported to a nearby hospital in a foreign country that has only adequate medical care. Members choose if they want to fly home to their local hospital or hospital of their choice to receive the very best care and to be near their family.

There Are No Cost Limits
MedjetAssist has no limit on the cost of a medical transport. Many companies and insurance plans place caps – some as low as $25,000 – on the total amount available for an air ambulance. But a medical transport between Europe and America can run more than $35,000. Middle East and South American flights range from $60,000 to $80,000. Transport from Asia often exceeds $100,000.

You Have Domestic & Foreign Transport Coverage
MedjetAssist provides air medical transportation within the United States as well as abroad. If a MedjetAssist member becomes ill or injured and is hospitalized while traveling in the U.S. or abroad, MedjetAssist will take the member to their home hospital or the hospital of their choice.

In addition, if a MedjetAssist member is hospitalized in their hometown hospital and requires the services that only a specialty hospital (center of excellence) can provide, and the member is too ill or injured to fly commercially, MedjetAssist will fly that member to the specialty hospital, provided it is more than 150 miles from the member’s home hospital.

• While MedjetAssist makes every effort to accommodate its members, the patient and an accompanying passenger are limited to one small carry-on bag each due to limited space available on medical aircraft. MedjetAssist will arrange for additional luggage to be forwarded at the member’s expense.
