My wife and I were on a week-long birding trip. She had her left wrist in a cast, and we were a little concerned if something happened, a fall, for instance, she would need to get specialized care. The only coverage we needed was emergency evacuation, and MEDEX coverage fit the bill for us, and gave us a bit of peace of mind. Thankfully, we didn't need to use the service, but it was good to have, nonetheless.

Easy to obtain and peace of mind in case of a medical emergency. Most people don't realize if you are in Medicare and need/obtain medical services out of the U.S., MMEDICARE WILL NOT COVER YOUR EXPENSES.

    Please note that Basic Medicare does not provide coverage outside the United States. However, many of the supplemental plans do offer varying amounts of reimbursement. You should always check with your supplemental plan provider to see if coverage is available to you.

Fortunately didn't need to use it! According to reviews I read, MEDEX is pretty hassle free, if needed.

No problems on trip but was relieved that if I needed the medical coverage it was there. One of the families on the cruise did experience a death of one of their group. I hope that they had coverage to lessen the burden they went through.

I'm pleased that I didn't need to file any claim, so have no more to say about it.

Toward the end of my trip I became pretty sick. We were in a far flung place, so I asked the tour guide to call his company and tell them I wanted to return home. (They had my insurance information.) I was told that I could sign off the tour and I'd then be on my own. I was way too ill to handle anything myself, and there was no phone access.
So all I could do was stay in bed alone for the rest of the trip.
My question is this: if one is really ill, as i was, then just how is one meant to contact the insurance company and arrange to be helped?

It was a comfort to know I had the plan in place and am most grateful I did not need it! For all future travels outside of the U.S. I will certainly obtain another plan!
Thank you!

Didn't need it but glad it was there just in case. Bought it after reading multiple reviews on several companies. Thanks for the peace of mind.
