What does medical repatriation mean?
Medical repatriation may cover medically supervised transport of a patient or repatriation of remains; these are distinct risks with different limits and conditions.
Medical repatriation can mean medically supervised transport of a living patient or repatriation of remains, and these are treated as separate insured risks. Check which of these the policy covers, the permitted destinations, applicable limits and that the assistance service makes the evacuation decision. A standard commercial ticket home at the traveller’s request is not the same as a medical evacuation; confirm details and any official entry/visa requirements in the live policy wording rather than relying on illustrative examples.
