Does Medical Evacuation Cover All Members In My Party?

I understand that emergency evacuation covers the person who is sick. But, what about the other people that are traveling with them? Can we cut our trip short and is this a covered expense with travel insurance? Marianne

Hi Marianne,

Here’s how travel insurance covers you for the situation you describe: one person is evacuated via their emergency transportation and the others still have to cut their trip short.

First, if there’s room on the emergency evacuation plane then it might be possible for one of the family members to ride along with the person. There’s no guarantee for this because it depends on the situation and how serious the medical condition is. If it’s a choice between taking another doctor or medical professional along versus taking a family member, the evacuation company is clearly going to take the medical professional along.

However, the other three of you will have a trip interruption. All our travel insurance plans will reimburse you up to 150% of your unused prepaid nonrefundable trip cost when you interrupt your trip for a covered reason.
