Medjet is a leading provider of air medical transport and travel protection services, offering membership programs designed to ensure safe and reliable transportation for travelers in need of medical care. West Coast Global Insurance Services partners with Medjet to provide clients with access to these comprehensive services, adding an essential layer of protection for international and domestic travelers.
Medjet offers two main membership options: MedjetAssist and MedjetHorizon. MedjetAssist focuses on providing air medical transport for hospitalized members more than 150 miles from home, while MedjetHorizon extends these benefits with additional travel security, including crisis response and evacuation services for safety concerns like terrorism, kidnapping, or natural disasters.
What sets Medjet apart is that they are not an insurance company, but a membership-based service that guarantees medical transport to the hospital of your choice, regardless of the medical necessity, eliminating typical insurance restrictions such as claim forms, preexisting condition exclusions, and adventure travel limitations. This service is available globally and ensures that members are transported to a facility that meets their needs when they are hospitalized far from home.
Whether you’re traveling for business, leisure, or study, Medjet provides peace of mind with protection that includes:
- Air medical transport to your home-country hospital after hospitalization abroad
- No limitations on transport costs, which can reach up to $180,000
- Domestic transport options within the U.S. and Canada
Medjet is a perfect solution for those seeking high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective medical evacuation services while traveling or living abroad.
