Coverage
Emergency Evacuation Insurance Coverage in the Middle East
Choosing to purchase a Health Insurance policy in the United Arab Emirates which includes an Emergency Evacuation coverage benefit will ensure that you are able to receive high-quality healthcare in an emergency situation, even if no medical facilities are in your immediate vicinity. This is accomplished through an emergency medical evacuation.
Should you be admitted to a medical facility which is unable to provide a suitable standard of care for the medical condition or accident which you are suffering from, then an Emergency Evacuation Coverage Benefit on a UAE health insurance policy will ensure that you are transported to a secondary hospital or medical facility which is able to provide the correct medical treatment.
In some cases, depending on the country which you were in when you became sick or had your accident, an emergency medical evacuation may even transport the policyholder back to their home country for continuing healthcare. This may happen if the UAE emergency evacuation insurance plan includes a repatriation coverage benefit.
If an individual were to pay for the costs of an emergency medical evacuation in the Middle East out-of-pocket, then the costs of the evacuation can exceed US$20,000 – especially if you are being evacuated from a remote are, and have a medical condition which requires intensive care during transport.
