Happy ! Check out this new Medjet Member Story🌎✈️

Glenn Davis had a Medjet Membership through work, but luckily memberships also work for personal travel. While visiting his daughter in Rome (she was studying abroad), Glenn walked right off a train station platform and narrowly missed being hit by an oncoming train. When he awoke in the hospital in Rome, he faced a frustrating language barrier and then a botched emergency surgery on his leg. Glenn’s business partner called Medjet, and we got Glenn back to his hospital at home. “If Medjet didn't come and get me, I would've probably been stuck there for 4 - 6 weeks and I would've been healing with an incorrect rod in there the whole time. Medjet was a blessing."

Thanks AFAR and writer/editor Billie Cohen for explaining how important membership in Medjet can be (and how different it is from travel insurance) 🏆 We make sure if you're sick or hurt on a trip, you can be moved to a hospital at home JUST BECAUSE you prefer that. Most people don't realize that most insurance medevac benefits are only to the "nearest adequate" facility...not home. Hopefully, with this article, less people will be unpleasantly surprised finding that out the hard way.

If things go wrong on a trip, you need to know about insurance, air travel, and medical care options. Here’s how to navigate the situation, who to call, and what to ask them.
