Emergency Air Evacuation is an essential service offered by West Coast Global Insurance Services, your trusted insurance agency. We provide coverage from top-rated companies in the industry, ensuring our insured members have access to critical assistance in medical emergencies.
At West Coast Global Insurance Services, we offer two distinct types of Emergency Air Evacuation tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.
1. Emergency Air Evacuation to the Nearest Location Requiring Treatment:
In the face of a medical emergency, insured members can rely on their coverage provider to coordinate and activate the necessary air evacuation services. This option swiftly transports individuals to the nearest medical facility capable of addressing their specific medical needs.
2. Take Me Home – Hospital of Choice:
Understanding the significance of personal preferences during challenging times, this option allows insured members to be evacuated to a hospital of their choice. The company will prioritize your comfort and well-being, ensuring a smooth process and arrangement of the evacuation service.
It is imperative to note that for either option, the insured must be in a stable condition to be released from medical care for air evacuation transit. This is coordinated solely by the treating physician & receiving physician. The company will facilitate the activation of coverage and work closely with the network of service providers to ensure a secure journey for insured members.
PLEASE NOTE: Optional travel medical accident & sickness insurance protection can be bundled with your air evacuation plan to provide you more complete coverage. Contact us for more information
Cost of Air Evacuation in Foreign Countries:
While exploring foreign destinations, unforeseen medical situations can occur. The cost of air evacuation in a foreign country may vary based on factors such as location, medical condition, and the distance to the chosen medical facility. By activating coverage, you gain the assurance that unexpected financial burdens associated with air evacuation are addressed.
Under what circumstances is a Medical Evacuation justified?
In instances where a medical condition is deemed more serious or critical in accordance with the plan’s terms, a medical evacuation will be initiated. This involves transporting the individual from one hospital to another and necessitates a comprehensive medical assessment. The recommendation and certification for such evacuation must come from a qualified physician, and prior approval is mandatory, granted by the medical personnel of the assistance company.
West Coast Global Insurance Services is committed to prioritizing your peace of mind. We do not directly handle claims or transports, but we stand by our commitment to support you in activating the coverage you need when life takes unexpected turns.
DISCLAIMER: Please review policy eligibility and exclusions prior to purchasing coverage. Please note that emergency air-evacuation plans can be provided by an insurance carrier and/or coverage can be provided by membership enrollment.
