Navigating the complexities of insurance for a medevac from Europe
With rare exceptions, domestic health insurance plans won’t cover medical costs while traveling abroad and Medicare does not provide coverage for hospital or medical costs outside the United States.
Emergency medical evacuation insurance is generally included in a comprehensive travel insurance plan, but many plans only pay for medical escort services on commercial flights, and most require proof that a medevac is medically necessary in order to cover costs.
