Emergency Medical Evacuation

Emergency Medical Evacuation provides you with transportation services in case you need to be evacuated to the nearest qualified medical facility, outside of your home country. In some cases, the plan will bring you home once stabilized but be sure to double-check with your insurance plan.

Return of Mortal Remains/Repatriation of Remains

The Return or Repatriation of Remains benefit is designed to cover the costs associated with returning your body to your home country if you were to pass away.

Travel Assistance Services

Travel Assistance Services include coverage for emergency prescription replacement, translation assistance, lost document assistance and more. Keep in mind that these benefits are not monetary aids, but offer assistance services when you need them.

What are the benefits of medical repatriation insurance

Access to specialized medical care

Group medical repatriation allows a patient to receive medical care outside their home country i.e. India with better medical facilities. This is extremely beneficial for individuals who are critically ill or injured and require specialized care. Depending on the policy this comes into effect if the treatment covered by the group medical insurance is not available locally.

Financial protection

Medical repatriation can be extremely costly particularly if the employee/ insured person is seriously ill or injured. Having cover in place can reduce the costs associated with medical care and save your employees and /or the insured person serious financial debt.

Internal support

Medical repatriation insurance coverage usually includes internal support to help navigate the process. This includes multilingual support to aid the transition, supporting everyone involved, and limiting any issues from language barriers.

Peace of mind for employees

When working and living in a foreign country this type of insurance can provide peace of mind for employees.

Why should organisations consider group medical repatriation cover?

Do you have employees based in remote areas of the world, with limited access to medical facilities? Then this type of insurance will help protect your employees and should be considered as a part of their insurance plan. Healthcare is a major concern for expats and their families, so it can be reassuring for them to know that their healthcare is protected when on international assignments.
