Nature Travel Specialists

MedjetAssist is a medical evacuation program that operates in addition to your normal travel insurance, or without it. MedjetAssist will evacuate you to the hospital of your choice if you are hospitalized more than 150 miles from home and require hospitalization once you reach your desired location. Although MedjetAssist is designed primarily on an annual membership basis - and is applicable anywhere - short-term enrolments for as short a 7 days are available on a per-trip basis. However, given the low annual fee of just $205, we recommend annual coverage. Even better, your family (up to 5 dependent children up to age 19, or 23 if full time student) can be covered for just $325. This gives peace of mind for college, summer camps and school trips, in addition to your own business or vacation travel.

As a MedjetAssist member, if you are hospitalized virtually anywhere in the world, simply call MedjetAssist and a specially equipped aircraft with a medical team can be dispatched to bring you to your home hospital or hospital of your choice so you can be treated by your personal physician and be close to your family. MedjetAssist transports members without regard to medical necessity. Members who are hospitalized may choose to be transported to a hospital of their choice.

There is no limit on the cost of a medical transport. And unlike travel insurance or travel platinum cards, MedjetAssist provides medical evacuations for its members both globally and domestically.

MedjetAssist services are provided to members 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is underwritten by Lloyd's of London.

Aircraft operated by MedjetAssist authorized affiliates are fitted with state-of-the-art medical equipment and have the ability of operating as flying intensive care units. All aircraft have the capability of accommodating one critical patient and family member along with a three or four person medical team. Many of the aircraft have the ability for two patient configurations as well. MedjetAssist also has several authorized affiliates that have the capability for international mass casualty medical evacuations. Among the specially trained and experienced medical staff are physicians, nurses, paramedics and respiratory therapists trained in advanced cardiac and trauma life support, emergency and critical care medicine, as well as pediatric and neonatal care.

MedjetAssist requires all authorized medical aircraft to be twin engine with a minimum of two pilots specially trained and certified for the specific aircraft they are flying. Medical teams must be specially trained in the care of critically ill or injured patients at altitude, with experience in both short and long-range air medical transport missions. All authorized affiliates must comply annually with MedjetAssist standards with regard to liability insurance limits, as well as pilot and medical crew training.
