Evacuation insurance for travelers 75+

[Tennisnuts2]

Is it possible for travelers 75 and older to get medical evacuation/repatriation insurance to supplement the Cruisecare Travel Insurance policy's measly evacuation allowance of $25,000? MedJet and all the other insurance I find on the Internet will not write policies for older people. Has anyone found a source for folks like us?

Your home of record is important to know to help answer this question.

Insurance regulations widely vary from country to country and if your from the US, from State to State.

IF you are a US resident you can choose from any of the most popular plans out there and insure a $0 trip cost to get all of the plan benefits escept for trip cancellation/interruption.

 

For example, with the TravelSafe Classic plan you'd get $1,000,000 of evacuation/repatriation coverage along with the following from their general exclusions:

 

"14. due to a Pre-Existing Condition, as defined in the Policy. The Pre-Existing Condition Limitation does not apply to the Emergency Medical Evacuation or Return of Remains coverage; or"

 

For those in the upper age brackets taking the pre-existing exclusion completely off the table can be important.

On Med Jet website there is a diamond coverage for seniors ages 75-85.

If you go with Medjet and are a member of AARP be sure and ask for the discount. I am assuming it would still apply with the higher age category coverage. :)

I'm surprised to read MedJet insures for folks over 75. I thought I read in their policy they do not. I'll have to look again. Thanks for mentioning that.
