Medical Evacuation Benefit
If a Insured Person sustains an Injury or suffers a sudden Sickness while traveling outside the U.S., the Insurer will pay the Medically Necessary expenses incurred, up to the lifetime Maximum Limit for all medical evacuations shown in the Benefit Overview Matrix, for a medical evacuation to the nearest Hospital, appropriate medical facility or back to Home Area. Transportation must be by the most direct and economical route. However, before the Insurer makes any payment, it requires written certification by the attending Physician that the evacuation is Medically Necessary. No benefits are payable under any other provision of the Policy for expense incurred by the Insured Person on and after the date of the evacuation. Evacuation of the Insured Person terminates further insurance under the Policy for the trip. The Insurer will pay Reasonable Charges for escort services if the Insured Person is a minor or if the Insured Person is disabled during a trip an escort is recommended in writing by the attending Physician and approved by the Insurer. Any expenses for medical evacuation require the Insurer’s prior approval.
