In that case, whether by helicopter or ambulance, you would be transferred to the care of a specialized medical evacuation company, typically a private emergency company.Ī privately chartered flight or ambulance with the benefit of expensive life-saving equipment and highly skilled, trained pilots and medical professionals can drive the cost up to tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of dollars. Unless your medical emergency is so dire and life-threatening that there is no time to spare in getting you to a port, the medical evacuation operations would most likely take place from the nearest port of call. While it's common to imagine that "evacuation" from a cruise ship means being airlifted in a helicopter hovering over the deck of the ship while out in open waters, that's not necessarily the case. Be sure to carefully read and review your policy before travel to understand how your coverage would work in this case. However, comprehensive travel insurance may help cover the costs associated with the quarantine. While emergency medical evacuation coverage can help reimburse travelers for unexpected costs, insurance cannot override the orders of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to evacuate quarantined travelers. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many travelers are concerned with this particular coverage in the event they become ill while traveling. This coverage provides transport to an appropriate facility, in the case of an illness or injury when there is no adequate care locally, without incurring a hefty financial burden.
