MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
Medical Assistance will help you get medical attention when
you suddenly become ill or are in an accident by:
- locating medical facilities, including physicians, hospitals,
or dentists
- verifying insurance coverage
- making arrangements with providers of medical care to
avoid cash deposit, where possible, prior to obtaining treatment
- communicating with family members, personal physicians,
and employers back home about the patient’s condition
- assisting family or friends who are traveling with the
patient
EMERGENCY MEDICAL EVACUATION
If appropriate medical care is not available, Emergency Medical
Evacuation will make proper medical care available from anywhere
in the world.
Medical Advisers are always on hand to consult with attending
physicians to make sure patients are receiving the correct
medical care. But, sometimes more sophisticated treatment
is warranted – treatment which may require evacuation
to better medical facilities.
If deemed medically necessary by AIG Assist, arrangements
will be made for land and air transportation, including passage
on either a commercial or chartered air ambulance, with in-flight
physicians, paramedics, or nurses and in-flight equipment
and supplies. All family arrangements and immigration and
customs details will also be handled.
Approved travel expenses associated with medical evacuation
will be covered up to $50,000 under this program.
REPARTRIATION
Arrangements for repatriation of the remains of a deceased
person will be made and up to $7,500 of the expense will be
covered by this program. (Some countries forbid the shipping
of the deceased.)
FAMILY COORDINATION
Approved expenses of family members traveling with a person
requiring medical evacuation, or with the remains of the deceased
person of up to $7,500 will be covered.
LEGAL ASSISTANCE
Legal assistance provides a ready resource for you by helping
find English-speaking attorneys if you are in danger of being
arrested as the result of any non-criminal action, or needing
to replace lost or stolen documents, such as passports, or
personal items, such as luggage.
In case of emergency,
please share this information with the volunteer team leader.
