International Students, Cultural Exchange Program Visitors/Scholars, International Travelers often seek medical evacuation insurance protection while studying abroad or traveling. Medical evacuation insurance provides coverage for transporting the sick or the injured to the nearest qualified medical facility; this may involve road or air ambulance and the evacuation staff.

The plan features:

- Deductible of $0 (this means that there is no initial deduction from you prior to the plan making payments for eligible evacuation & repatriation expenses)
- The plan pays 100% of eligible expenses (this means the insurance company pays 100% of the covered expenses and you have no out-of-pocket expenses).
- Plan has to be purchased in 3 month, 6 month or 12 month coverage periods (monthly coverage purchase is not possible). One can re-apply again for subsequent periods of coverage.
- Coverage for pre-existing conditions are excluded. However, up to $25,000 will be paid for the eligible costs and expenses of an emergency medical evacuation arising or resulting from a sudden and unexpected recurrence of a pre-existing condition.
