Road Trip
Posted on July 8, 2008
I took a road trip to up to ATL this weekend for the 4th of July. The whole trip was just a short two-day get-away to see the fireworks at Centennial Olympic Park, have a few good meals and check out the new W-Midtown Atlanta. The weather was nice, the hotel was fantastic and the fireworks were awesome. All in all it was a great trip with no incidences. But what if there had been something? A bad spill or a sick spell? What would I have done? And trust me, it is not a far stretch of the imagination. I am not the most graceful person in the world. I broke my foot less than a year ago going to my basement to get a popsicle…
Anyway, to my point. Recently I have been working on a new special program that MedjetAssist is now offering. It is a special membership program dedicated to the domestic only traveler. Which let’s face it is a lot of people. One hundred and fifty miles is not that far from home. I Googled it, and the short trip to Atlanta from my house in Birmingham was 153 miles. That would have qualified me for a transport should something have happened. And, as much as I like Atlanta, if I am going to be in the hospital then I want to be at my hospital with my family doctor in the professional building just a cross-walk away. So many people focus on that big international trip when it may be nothing more than a bad trip on a short summer-weekend vacation that gets you down. Literally.
So, all of that said. Really think about where you travel to and how often you are outside that 150 mile radius. It’s probably more often than you think. The new MedjetAssist Domestic Membership is tailored to travelers up to the age of 75 traveling within the continental United States. With annual membership rates of $175 for individuals and $305 for families, members can travel with the peace of mind knowing if they are hospitalized anywhere in the contiguous 48 states more than 150 miles from home, MedjetAssist will evacuate them by medically equipped and staffed aircraft back to their hospital of choice within the continental United States at no additional cost. Not a bad deal when you consider it. Shoot, you probably couldn’t drive yourself back in your car for that much considering today’s gas prices.
To enroll in the Domestic Membership program, you must call 1-800-527-7478. This special membership is only open for enrollment through December 31, 2008, so enroll today!
By the way, for comparison purposes, the MedjetAssist regular annual membership rates are $225 and $350 respectively and allow for both domestic and international travel protection. So if you do get a wild hair and decide to head down to Cabo for five days, as a Domestic Member, you have the option to upgrade anytime to the Regular Annual Membership prior to departing. Just call us at MedjetAssist let us know you want to upgrade and pay the membership differential.
