Medical evacuation

Worldwide evacuation notes

4.0 We pay the reasonable and customary transport costs for a medical evacuation:

· to the nearest place where the required treatment is available. (This could be to another part of the country that you are in or to another country), and

· for the return journey to the place you were transferred from

when:

· this is authorised in advance by Bupa International's service partners

· the return journey is within 14 days of the end of the treatment.

The costs we pay for the return journey will be either:

· the reasonable cost of the return journey by land or sea, or

· the cost of an economy class air ticket

whichever is the lesser amount.

We do not pay any other costs related to the evacuation such as taxis or hotel accommodation.

In some cases, it may be more appropriate for you to travel to the airport by taxi, than other means of transport, such as an ambulance. In these cases, and if approved in advance, we will pay for taxi fares.
