ASSISTANCE SERVICE for MEDICAL & OTHER EMERGENCIES
SAS can help the travelers get medical attention when someone suddenly becomes ill or is in an accident by:

  • locating medical facilities, including physicians, hospitals, or dentists & verifying insurance coverage
  • making arrangements with providers of medical care to avoid cash deposit, where possible, prior to obtaining treatment
  • communicating with family members, personal physicians, and employers back home on the patient's condition
  • assisting family or friends who are traveling with the patient

EMERGENCY MEDICAL EVACUATION (Limit $75,000)
Emergency Medical Evacuation will arrange proper medical care available from anywhere:

Medical Advisers are always on hand to consult with attending physicians to make sure patients are receiving the correct medical care. But, sometimes more sophisticated treatment is warranted - treatment which may require evacuation to better medical facilities.

If deemed medically necessary by SAS medical staff and the attending physician, arrangements will be made for land and air transportation, including passage on either a commercial or chartered air ambulance, with in-flight physicians, paramedics or nurses and in-flight equipment and supplies. All family arrangements and immigration and customs details will also be handled.

FAMILY COORDINATION & REPATRIATION of MORTAL REMAINS
Certain expenses of coordinating the travel of family members traveling with or to an insured person needing evacuation are covered up to $15,000.

Arrangements for repatriation of the remains of a deceased person will be made. The expense of this service is reimbursable up to $7,500. (Note some countries forbid the shipping remains of the deceased.)
