What is the difference between the Emergency Medical Evacuation benefit and the Medical Repatriation benefit?
When you cannot obtain adequate care for a medical situation in your travel location, your physicians may recommend an emergency medical evacuation to a location where you can get adequate medical care. Medical evacuation occurs when insureds need to go to another location to get adequate care for a medical emergency. The Medical Repatriation benefit applies when you must return to your home country because your injury, illness or follow-up care needs make you unable to properly continue with your WISE program. Medical repatriation can occur even when local medical care is adequate.
