    Emergency Evacuation

    In the event that you should suffer a serious illness or injury while overseas, an emergency evacuation benefit will ensure that you are able to receive the best medical treatment available by covering the costs associated with transportation to the nearest centre of medical excellence.

    Since many countries lack the latest medical facilities, in the event of a serious illness or injury an emergency evacuation is necessary to receive proper medical treatment. An emergency evacuation is incredibly expensive, and medical costs will accumulate quickly. A plan with an emergency evacuation benefit is the best way to ensure that you do not have to pay these costs out-of-pocket in the event that anything should happen.

    Emergency evacuation cover may also offer transportation compensation for one person to accompany the policyholder during the evacuation and stay at the nearby medical centre of excellence. This added benefit is especially attractive as we often travel with family or friends. Some international health insurance plans may also cover the cost of return transportation as well.

    In the event that the policyholder dies while abroad, international health insurance plans with emergency evacuation coverage will repatriate the remains. The family of the policyholder can choose the manner in which the deceased is repatriated.

    Due to the high standard of healthcare in Hong Kong a plan with an emergency evacuation benefit may be unnecessary. If, however, you plan on large amounts of overseas travel outside of Hong Kong then the addition of emergency evacuation coverage on your plan will ensure that no matter where you are in the world you will always have access to the best medical care available.
