A family membership shall include the named primary member, his or her lawful spouse, and up to five of their unmarried dependent children (including step, foster or legally adopted children) under the age of 19, or up to age 23 if a full-time student in actual attendance at an accredited school or college and dependent on the primary member for support and maintenance. If a birth or legal adoption occurs during the year of a family membership, the new dependent is automatically covered upon notification. A dependent child, as used above, is one who lives regularly and permanently with the primary member in a parent-child relationship and is chiefly dependent upon the member for support.

Membership enrollment and renewal are subject to approval by the MedjetAssist membership committee. Membership is valid only if the appropriate membership fee is collected.

*A special membership is available for current MedjetAssist members who have
reached their 75th birthday. Please contact us at info@worldwidemedicalplans.com or call
877-211-3654  for more information.

Air Medical Transport Criteria

You must be hospitalized as an inpatient more than 150 miles from your primary residence as listed on your enrollment application.

Due to the limited medical facilities and testing available on cruise ships, in some cases the MedjetAssist Medical Director may require the member to be admitted to a hospital on-shore before scheduling air medical transportation to another hospital.

All arrangements for medical evacuation and repatriation must be made by MedjetAssist. Since MEDJET Assistance is an assistance program and not an insurance plan, we will not reimburse members for expenses they incur on their own. Decisions regarding urgency of the case, the best timing and the most suitable means of transportation will be made by the MedjetAssist medical department after consultation with the local attending physician and the patient's receiving physician.

Evacuation flights will be performed if an inpatient hospitalization is required, and it is determined that the remaining hospital stay can be completed at a hospital near the member's home, and the member is unable to return to his home hospital via commercial airline without medical escort.

Aircraft used for the medical transport of MedjetAssist members are fully equipped intensive care aircraft staffed with specially trained medical teams. However, if the member's condition permits, the member may be transported by scheduled commercial airline, while in the care of a MedjetAssist medical team.

Air medical services are limited to two separate flights per membership per year, except for repatriation flights involving enrolled multiple family members requiring simultaneous repatriation. Under these circumstances, each family member will receive one fully paid flight.

You must be hospitalized as an inpatient more than 150 miles from your primary residence as listed on your enrollment application and continue to meet inpatient criteria at the receiving hospital.

Evacuation flights will be performed if an inpatient hospitalization is required and the remaining inpatient hospital stay can be completed at a hospital of the member^’s choice and the member is unable to return via commercial airline without medical escort.

However, if the member^’s condition permits, the member may be transported by scheduled commercial airline, while in the care of a MedjetAssist authorized medical escort.

At MedjetAssist^’s discretion, remote evacuation may be provided without hospitalization. Remote evacuation to the closest appropriate medical facility for initial stabilization and evaluation will only be performed in areas where MedjetAssist has authorized air medical evacuation affiliates capable of accessing remote air strips in the regions they serve. Members requiring remote evacuations will need to meet inpatient criteria as determined by MedjetAssist prior to evacuation.

 Members should note that a remote evacuation to the closest appropriate medical facility will constitute one member transport with regard to the number of allowable transports per year. Continued transport to the member^’s hospital of choice will be completed if the member continues to meet inpatient criteria, and has a remaining transport as part of their membership benefit.

All arrangements for medical evacuation and repatriation must be made by MedjetAssist. Since MedjetAssist is a membership program and not an insurance plan, we will not reimburse members for expenses they incur on their own. Decisions regarding urgency of the case, the best timing and the most suitable means of transportation will be made by the MedjetAssist medical department after consultation with the local attending physician and the patient^’s receiving physician.

At MedjetAssist^’s discretion, transport from a hospital within 150 miles of a member^’s registered membership home address to a specialty hospital more than 150 miles away may be provided in cases in which the appropriate medical specialty or equipment is not available at the member^’s hometown hospital and the member cannot travel commercially without medical escort. This benefit does not apply to short-term membership and is only available through the MedjetAssist Plus Program and to members who have maintained an active membership prior to 4/1/2008 without lapse.

Transport benefits are not available to members for injuries, illnesses, or conditions existing at the time of enrollment where inpatient medical care has already been scheduled or recommended by a health care provider.

To be eligible for MedjetAssist transport benefits, membership must be activated prior to initial departure from registered membership home address.

If you are medically discharged from the hospital or leave against medical advice and are physically able to travel under your own power, you will no longer be eligible for air medical transport benefits.

Air Transport Restrictions/Exclusions

Both the originating and receiving hospital must be reasonably accessible by ground ambulance to transport the member to and from an airfield capable of accommodating MedjetAssist authorized aircraft.

Membership provides access to MedjetAssist authorized affiliates only.

  Due to the high risk of sending U.S. registered aircraft and personnel into countries where travel restrictions have been issued, membership services are subject to exclusion in these areas.

A member with tuberculosis or other chronic airborne pathogens may not be transported.

A member with mild lesions, simple injuries such as sprains, simple fractures or mild illnesses which can be treated by local doctors and does not prevent the member from continuing his or her trip or returning home without medical attention does not qualify for air medical transport.

Air medical transport services will not be provided in cases where the member^’s primary admitting diagnosis is an inpatient psychiatric disorder.

A member traveling outside the United States for the sole purpose of seeking medical treatment, whether inpatient or outpatient, experimental or otherwise, will not be eligible for air medical transport benefits for that specific trip.

A member traveling or living outside the United States, Canada, or Mexico for an uninterrupted period in excess of 90 days is not eligible for membership benefits under the regular membership. Extended Stay (Expatriate) packages are available upon request.

Up to two (2) family members, business associates and/or traveling companions may accompany the patient, at no additional cost, on a MedjetAssist authorized aircraft during transport, provided space is available and the patient care is not compromised. One family member or traveling companion may accompany patients being transported via scheduled commercial airline at no additional cost via economy class. Payment of membership fee entitles the member to the membership services as published at no additional cost to the member.

 While MedjetAssist makes every effort to accommodate its members, the patient and an accompanying passenger are limited to one small carry-on bag each due to limited space available on medical aircraft. MedjetAssist will assist with additional luggage to be forwarded at the member^’s expense.

Members will not be entitled to air medical transport benefits if their illness or injury is a result of or is contributed to by the following:

MedjetAssist reserves the right to change or amend these rules and regulations. MedjetAssist is solely responsible for the interpretation and application of the rules and regulations communicated in this publication. All determinations by MedjetAssist shall be final and conclusive in each case.

Memberships are non-transferable and non-refundable.
By enrolling as a member you accept and agree to the terms and conditions of membership.
