MEDJET MEMBERSHIPS
Must Have Summer Travel Essential. Medjet is the top-rated air medical transport and security response program for travelers. You join, and if you are hospitalized anywhere more than 150 miles from home, they get you back to your home hospital for treatment. Most health and travel insurances won’t do that, their medevac benefits are only to the nearest “adequate” hospital. Me personally? I would NOT want to be stuck in a foreign hospital. With MedjetHorizon membership, you can also add 24/7 security response benefits, which is important, especially if you’re traveling internationally or sending kids abroad alone.
These memberships are incredibly affordable, starting at $99. Medjet.com
