Travel Insurance Explained: Understanding the Evacuation Plus Benefit
Doug, my wife Jill and I are headed over to Singapore and Indonesia for a vacation next month. We understand that your emergency medical evacuation benefit is on every travel insurance plan you provide. However, we see an additional coverage option for a small fee to add to our travel insurance plan called the evacuation plus rider.
Doug, can you please provide Jill and I more information on this evacuation plus option?
That is a great question, Paul. As you mentioned the emergency medical evacuation benefit is on all of our travel insurance plans. But you are talking about another benefit that you may want to add to your travel insurance policy. This additional option, the evacuation plus benefit, is an added cover you may or may not want to elect.
Although travel insurance provides the vital emergency medical evacuation (which is not what this topic is about) benefit for life-threatening injuries and illnesses, the evacuation plus rider is an additional benefit that can cover a certain amount of money (usually around $25,000 to $30,000 dollar benefit) for medical evacuations due to a sudden, non-life-threatening medical condition that requires hospitalization.
If your travel insurance includes this benefit, your travel insurance company will take care of arranging and covering the cost of ground and air transportation to the nearest hospital that can provide necessary treatment.
It’s important to note that this evacuation plus rider benefit is provided by international insurance companies and requires their handling of everything.
