Emergency Medical Evacuation

Your international business travelers may have concerns about how their insurance company handles emergency situations. You can give them peace of mind with the extra protection of the optional Emergency Medical Evacuation or Repatriation benefit.

This benefit is available in addition to medical coverage. The Global Benefits program pays $100,000 of expenses if a physician recommends emergency medical evacuation or repatriation for an insured due to accident, illness, or death.

Real-World Example
The health of your employees is our paramount concern. Here's one example of how CIGNA ensures that your employees get the health care they need:

An expatriate on assignment was hospitalized with a malignant hernia. Unsure whether to travel back home for treatment or to seek care locally, the patient sought advice from CIGNA International's Medical Director.

On our doctor's advice, the member returned home for treatment much sooner than initially planned and was operated on successfully. The patient is now receiving radiation treatment and has excellent hopes for a full recovery.
