Medical evacuation is often the most valuable — and most misunderstood — part of travel health insurance. Here’s what you actually need to know.
Real Stories from 2025
"I broke my leg skiing in the Swiss Alps. Local hospitals couldn’t do the surgery I needed. GeoBlue arranged a medical evacuation to a specialist hospital in Germany and then flew me home to the U.S. Total cost: over $187,000. I paid $0."
— Sarah K., California (Voyager Choice policy)
What Medical Evacuation Actually Covers
- Air ambulance or commercial flight with medical escort
- Ground transportation to the nearest adequate facility
- Repatriation of remains if the worst happens
- Coordination with your family and U.S. doctors
How Much Evacuation Coverage Do You Need?
We recommend at least $250,000–$500,000 in evacuation benefits. GeoBlue’s Voyager Choice includes $500,000 — one of the highest limits available at its price point.
