Travel Fearlessly: How MedJet Gets You Home
Imagine you're enjoying a summer beach trip just a few hours from home when suddenly, you experience severe chest pain. The local hospital may not have the specialized care you need, and the situation could quickly escalate. What would you do?
Traveling — even within the United States — is an adventure filled with excitement and new experiences. However, unexpected emergencies can quickly turn your relaxing getaway into a stressful ordeal. This is where MedJet steps in to ensure you have peace of mind no matter where you are within the country or abroad.
Why MedJet is Essential
Alarming Statistics
Did you know that over 10 million travelers are hospitalized abroad each year? Millions more face hospitalizations while traveling domestically. Furthermore, more than 2 million travelers annually require medical transport, with costs ranging from $30,000 to $180,000—expenses that health insurance, travel insurance, and platinum card benefits often do not cover. MedJet eliminates these out-of-pocket costs, providing critical peace of mind during your travels.
