Travel always carries some risk, and depending on your destination it can be unnerving. No one wants the stress of relying on an unfamiliar hospital or facing care standards that differ dramatically from what they expect. MedjetAssist provides comprehensive travel protection and medical transportation memberships designed to reduce that stress. Membership options include short-term and annual plans to suit different travel needs.
The standard MedjetAssist membership covers medical transport to your chosen hospital or back to your home hospital whenever you are more than 150 miles from home, regardless of medical necessity. There is no cap on the cost of the transfer. Members also gain access to services such as telephone interpretation, medical monitoring and consultation, travel medical referrals, emergency message relay, and other practical support during a medical event abroad or away from home.
For travelers seeking expanded protection, the MedjetHorizon upgrade extends the medical transfer benefit globally, covering transfers within the United States and internationally regardless of medical necessity. Both MedjetAssist and MedjetHorizon allow members to select their preferred receiving medical facility, ensuring care is provided where they feel most comfortable.
MedjetHorizon includes additional value-added benefits that address a broader range of travel risks. These include travel security and crisis response, ground ambulance transfer, specialty hospital transfers, personalized travel advisories, and cash advance services for medical emergencies. Its Crisis Response suite provides global evacuation and rescue services, access to a personal security detail when needed, legal assistance, and emergency communication with family members. This crisis support also applies in scenarios such as political threats, disappearance, violent crime, blackmail and extortion, terrorism, wrongful detention, hijacking, and kidnap and ransom.
Other advantages of Medjet memberships include coverage for adventure travel activities that are often excluded by standard plans, flexible family plans that can cover up to seven family members, year-round service, and domestic coverage that permits medical evacuation back home if an emergency happens while you’re out of state. These features make MedjetAssist and MedjetHorizon especially useful for frequent travelers, expatriates, and anyone planning trips to remote or higher-risk locations.
Choosing the right travel medical evacuation membership depends on your travel patterns, desired level of protection, and whether you want global crisis response capabilities. Medjet’s options provide clear benefits for travelers who want control over their medical destination, reassurance when traveling far from home, and support for complex emergency situations.
