fstuff1 Posted October 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I keep hearing stories about Medivac off a ship costing $10k+ if not in US waters. (US Coast Guard does not charge for Medivac) If you have been Medivac off a ship, how much did it cost you? and where were you? (Which country Medivac you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, I tagged him appropriately. He will know or share what that treaty is called. However, As I understand it, there is an International Treaty or understanding that since being medivac'd off the ship requires special equipment and specialized training, this can only be done by a military unit and is done free of charge by that government. There are no private for profit or charitable organizations that provide this service. Where do they take you? To the closest medical facility that can treat your ailment. If there isn't one close enough, you stay in the ships medical center until they do get close enough to one that can accept you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
