How do medical evacuation / transportation and repatriation differ?
A. Medical evacuation / transportation is defined as you being transported to the nearest appropriate medical facility as a result of the insurance company’s Consulting Physician and the local attending Physician’s determination that adequate treatment is not available locally. If you want your doctor consulted make sure you give his / her contact information to the insurance company. Repatriation means returning the body home in the event the insured dies on their trip.
