GLOBAL RESCUE

Travel insurance typically will not pay for a medical evacuation. And if they do, they'll only take you to the nearest appropriate hospital -- wherever and whatever that may be. Relying on aircraft and top-quality hospitals around the world, Global Rescue will come to find you at the site of injury or illness, will stabilize you and ultimately will bring you home to the hospital of your choice. If you need or prefer to be hospitalized locally, the company can dispatch a paramedic to your bedside to see that your treatment goes smoothly, and it can allow local doctors to confer with Johns Hopkins specialists to ensure you are receiving the best possible care.
